It's a different scene when you live near the border. Try comparing crime
statistics and tell me what stands out.

Did you see a movie, or something, where some family of impoverished illegal
immigrants snuck into the USA, traveled up to some redneck farming town, and
lived a modest life?

It's nice of you to give the illegals the benefit of the doubt, but don't let
people abuse your generosity.

There are people who need asylum more than central americans, like Syrian
children. I'd rather take all of them as refugees than people who were already
offered asylum in another country and turned it down.

It's more than just drugs. But if it puts a dent in drugs, conservatives are
ok with that too. More and more, I worry that people who support the
rights of illegals are actually users or "jons" themselves. Have you ever had
an argument about drugs with an addict? It can be on ordeal.
