| Yes, of course. I almost forgot about the voices of comfortable people talking from a comfortable chair about what's best for these refugees trying to obtain some decent money so their families can eat.
Of course I'm not stupid. I know very well that there would be chaos if we just opened our borders. But I also know the difference between one border control method vs another. I happen to feel a little bit of compassion and responsibility for the less fortunate people of the world. I'm sorry if my ideals put frightening images in your heads about losing those comfortable chairs to swarming mexicans.
And what good is the quality of life if it's only granted to certain members of the human population? And besides. I don't think physical space is really an issue. ESPECIALLY when we're talking about mexican immigrants. These guys come by the dozens in trunks of cars. C'mon! We won't even know they're here, lol!
When I am not playing music or irritating people with nonrealistic goals, I'm working. I do construction work, and therefore I meet a lot of illegal immigrants from mexico.
Sometimes I get the feeling that people like lerxtcat, who talk about comfort and space in relation to human lives, view these mexican people as some sort of cockroaches swarming into your country taking what is yours. But they are not cockroaches. They are your human brothers and sisters. The very idea that their future livelihood is challenged by some because they just don't want them "in your space" is sort of revolting. Well, realize that this is the Earth. It's everyone's space. It was we humans, in our lack of understanding of this fact, that created borders. And it is us, in our lack of compassion and our hatred for others, that place the borders before the well being of our fellow man.
