Certain people (i.e., the worst out of a >300million population) are "just as bad" as "the" illegal immigrants? Come on! That's a pretty ugly statement. Unintended I'm sure. Nonetheless, it's worth a look before you accuse others of being "holier than thou"?

A nasty element of illegal immigration is those involved are skipping line in front of, slowing and encumbering LEGAL immigration. Legal immigrants are people just like illegals are people. Legal applicants for legal immigration are every bit as good, deserving, and desirable as illegals. Perhaps, just perhaps, even more so!

Another nasty element is, by its very nature, illegality forces migrants to deal with very evil cartels. That translates to extortion, rape, trafficking, and further enablement of drug transport. But migrants are deliberately drawn into those risks by outdated, highly counterproductive US immigration laws combined with the allure of US wealth. Dems know that. CofC Repubs know that. Neither care.

Still another is we have no clue who actually is accessing our country. That is problematic.
