Steph Unfortunately you as a european settler anchor baby, have no room to say who stays and who goes. Your ancestors illegally started wars with the natives and stole their lands. Now here you are comfortable trying to pick who can stay. Hypocrite. Why didnt your ancestors fix their crappy country?? Why didnt they assimilate when they came? Dont be so dense.
Steph you have points that are logical. But the world is not that black and white.
You refer to immigrant like they are coming to do harm, when they just want jobs, prosperity, like anyone else. And you can't accurately imagine the difficulty these people embrace, risking their lives, to be here and work for you. Ignoring the problem or closing the borders wont work. My family came to the US legally, but "technically" was illegal in certain moments. Yet they are both doctors, not criminals.
I totally agree with you, no one should be able to come in illegally and use S.S. it is a crime. Let the law take care of that. Just don't hate, it is not healthy.
why are the whites always tryin to justify all there invasions - like if it wasn't us it would of been somebody else, yeah right usa,austrilia, new zealand, africa, india, hong kong different places similar story all invaded by the white man. Hong Kong now that was dirty these cunts started the opium war, drug pedlin cunts if anyone would of invaded these pricks they would of been crying to the heavens just like the WC 86 hand of God and thats was only a footie game.
Hey steph first of all totally agree with you there is a big migration problem in britain. Also i really really really i cant even state how badly wish i lived in the US i really want that US citizenship my grandmothers farther was american however she did not live with him does this give me a better oppourtunity to enter the US?
contradiction - she states that if you arrive in america illegally then you are breaking the law then she goes on the state the land was purchased "treaty of guadalupe hidalgo" now this was a coalition between two invading parties and not the natives. Her opinion is the 1st law you break is entering this land is doing it illegally - now then should all the europeans be deported??? Because like it or not you did enter this land illegally!
@verse0001 I agree with what You said about the true owners of this land.We cant go back harmonious time so wouldnt You agree the USA is trying to bring all itsLEGAL citizens a great life the 21cetury?
Leave your front door open for anyone to walk in? yes its a wise thing to do, I am assuming you are comparing it to our Borders! Its wise because who ever walks in, is walking in to cook, clean, baby sit, and mow your lawn since your fat ass is to heavy and lazy to do it.
States with the most illegal trespassing also have high lvl's of job-related ID theft. In AZ, 33% of all ID theft is job-related (as opposed to ID theft motivated only by profit). 27% in TX; 23% in NM; 22% in CO; 20% in CA; & 16% in NV. 8 of the 10 states with the highest % of illegal aliens in their total population are among the top 10 states in ID theft (AZ, CA, FL, TX, NV, NY, GA, & CO).

The same reason why every great Empire has failed to do, and doing so has caused it's own inevitable downfall...
why do you make it seam that every hispanic person is going around using fake ssn and make a video of how many kids are brought in to this country by there parents many of this kids have been in hear since they were 2 and you say that they should learn the culture i am sorry what culture white people have no culture but you see most of this kids are more American then mexican and why should they have to be taken back to mexico they should be given a chance to show that they can be something.

European governments face the same problem... what would happen is that minimum wages on menial jobs no US or European citizen will do would increase dramatically to attract them. That is exactly what they do not want to happen.
There are ways for them to come here legally. That is the only way they should be allowed. We have to live by the damn laws of this land and anyone else who wants to live here have to also.
I agree with you. While we call ourselves the land of opportunity there is very little opportunity here. Although compared to other countries we could be doing a lot worse. That being said when we make it an absolute gauntlet to become a legal citizen I'm not surprised that people take extreme measures to buck the system to survive.
I believe we were very sympathetic to her.We allowed her to return home with her son with out serving a prison sentence for the 5 crimes that she committed.
as a person trying to legally survive the immigration process here in the UK this especially hits home. It's very complicated(and expensive) for me to stay in england. However if I spoke no english, worked illegally, had several children and relatives with me I would be taken care of - medical expenses, legal expenses, etc.... same thing all over Europe.
I wonder if anyone knows that a MAJOR Catholic organization (think discount thrift store) that makes MILLIONS of dollars a year hires ILLEGALS. I just wonder. There is so beneath the surface of all the religion to family to immigration to politic time-bomb.
The hospital did the right thing....Not only was she an legal here she was running multipe scams with ID`s the social security cards...not only was she an illegal she was being crimanal here to boot...
Employers are damn if they do and damned if they don`t anymore...if the run SS numbers that`s dicrimnation if they don`t there in trouble for hiring illegals...
I believe that although we say that we want our borders to be strong we dont mean it. This country run's on illegal cheap labor. I am only able to screen SSI # after I hire. Which I think is crap. It cost me money, uniforms, insurance all to lose the employee after I verify the SSI #. I at times have to go through 30 employees to get one. If I check a SSI # before hire I can be charged with discrimination. Ugh sore spot.
My family came here legally from rome. They worked hard and suffered tremendously. BUT, part of that hard work was connected to being a citizen. We aren't allowed to move to other countries without jobs, so why should it be different in the US? Great video, again.
There are lots and lots of laws. Most of us break some kind of law every day. I think illegal entry should be made a misdemeanor with a small fine and that all who are living here and working, thereby contributing to our society, which they live in, should be fast tracked for citizenship if they want to become citizens. Those who only want to work but not become permanent residents should be given some king of work permits.
What we are doing, catching and deporting are ridiculous. Immigration does not cause deterioration. Stupid laws do. We depend on immigration and it is becoming more important since the last generation born here did not even produce replacement population.
I disagree with you.1/4 of the illegals who cross the border are criminals before ever stepping foot on US soil.Their education is so poor that they drain our resources by getting us to educate them.
"1/4 of the illegals who cross the border are criminals before ever stepping foot on US soil"
Site some proof of that contention Steph, otherwise it just looks like jingoism on your part...I agree that felons should be deported, but this case, I'm not so sure.
In Los Angeles, for example, dozens of members of a ruthless Salvadoran prison gang have sneaked back into town after having been deported for such crimes as murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and drug trafficking. Police officers know who they are and know that their mere presence in the country is a felony. Yet should a cop arrest an illegal gangbanger for felonious reentry, it is he who will be treated as a criminal, for violating the LAPD's rule against enforcing immigration law.
the sheer political power of immigrant lobbies, a power so irresistible that police officials shrink from even mentioning the illegal-alien crime wave. "We can't even talk about it," says a frustrated LAPD captain. "People are afraid of a backlash from Hispanics." Another LAPD commander in a predominantly Hispanic, gang-infested district sighs: "I would get a firestorm of criticism if I talked about [enforcing the immigration law against illegals]."
It's more like putting a sign on the front lawn advertising that those doors are open & that everything inside is free.
They KNOW the borders are poorly guarded. They know that there are always jobs that people are willing to give them. They KNOW they'll recieve decent healthcare if they get sick.
Beef up border patrols. Take away the perks. Zero tolerance.
Steph, as usual, you bring up many enlightened and appropriate ideas. Yes the U.S.A did purchase the West/Southwest with the Treaty of Guadalupe and Gadsden Purchase, but the fact of the matter is there were people here before. The people the USA bought the land from were mainly Spaniards (real Spanish, not central american spanish). This can go hand in hand w/ the Louisiana Purchase. Technically we paid, but we stole.
if someone is illegally in a country and get caught they should just be deported to their home country, end of story. that's how it is here. i don't understand america's soft line on the whole issue.
i totally agree with your views and that is exactly how it is here. it is just common sense really.
My doors have deadbolts on them. And they're always locked. On golf courses here in Fla, we use a LOT of Hispanic labor. They're the only people who want to work. But we also have a huge number of illegal immigrants. With every application I get, the very FIRST thing I do is log into the Social Security website and verify their SSN. If it's bogus, I report them. I don't care who they are or how many kids they have. Sorry, but if you're in my country, you'd damn well better be here legally.
I can name off 10 people who are legal citizens who would have loved the job that this woman was trying to get as a illegal. You would be surprised what US citizens will do to put food on the table..
I have no doubt about that, Steph. We're flooded with them here, as you are in Texas, and yes, they're taking jobs from local residents. But we use a lot of "common labor" maintaining golf courses, and Hispanics are often the ONLY applicants we get. I'd give locals priority any day, if they applied.
I leave my backdoor, not only open but ajar, for my cats to go in and out during the morning while I have my coffee.. afterwards it gets locked - as the front door 'always' is!!
Steph, Please don't tell me you are insinuating that you agree with with the wall (fence) that is being built to protect our border. To me that is fanaticism.
nope... I think a wall is a waste of time and money...mine was here when I purchased the house.
What I am really want to say is,Pull our people out of Iraq,brig them home to really help the people and OUR people by kicking the shit out of the cartel in Mexico so the people can have a up right government...!
They exist to protect a way of life. It may be a way of life that is unfair in the context of human equality, but it is a way of life born from the bones of your predecessors and my predecessors...and apparently some old white guys' wallets.
First I agree with your video. Second I agree with your comment.
America is a country born on the dreams of the people who founded it. America's neighbours didn't help the country gain independence (although Canada did absorb a lot of Loyalists) and if a person isn't decendent of those first Americans or immigrated in a way those first Americans deemed fit, then why do they have the right to that freedom earned through the sacrifice of the American people?
My doors are way closed because bugs will come in :D I hate bugs! Become a citizen, it's the right thing to do if you want to be here. Then you can have the same rights as everyone else :D yay.
Don't Ask Don't Tell! so as long as you don't get caught we wont see you! It's just sets it up for more Laws to be broken. Turning a blind eye does no good! DEPORTING MOTHERS IS NOT THE ANSWER!
how about deporting a illegal person who broke the US laws 5 times?
What does it say about the USA when we permit people to break our laws jut because they are mother?If I had broken the law in this manor I would be in a federal Prison!
no lock the doors your asking for your throat to be slit.hell no!because my neighbors smoke crack and my parents had friends left there door unlocked and they got shot and they slit there throats.yur the queen lesbian not gina sorry you are
I totally agree. I'm in Texas as well, and I hear people talking about illegal immigration on TV, but they live in Michigan and Kentucky. They're hardly affected by illegal immigration but somehow they're given free reign to speak about it on TV? (I hate to joke about this.. but.. you ALMOST sounded like GWB when he said "If you enter this country illegally, you're breaking the law." It's a silly statement, but why can't people understand it???)
Because that's an oversimplification. They aren't God given laws, they are man made laws instigated by a ruling elite who benefit from them. Period. Why don't you ask yourself about the consequences to the Mexican people, who are your neighbors, about the affect of our government's economic policies on them? We reach into their country, drive their people off their lands and then wonder why they're flooding in. You want to fix this, you're gonna need to bring it back to your own government.
Understanding the problem is the people's first responsibility. The solution isn't in stamping back impoverished individuals desperate to improve their lives. The solution is in recognizing what it is that has caused their desperation. I can't personally consider the movements of human beings across artificial boundaries a 'problem' but if you do, you'll want look at why it happens instead of that it happens.
Her country is not mine.This is a fight that the Mexican people must take charge of.I would fully support any military help that the Mexican government requested in order to improve their countries position.
But I will not stand here and permit these people to take and take.
Her country is affected by yours. You can't act as if the economic policies coming out of the United States bare no relationship to the waves of displaced and now migrating people, looking for work. US trade and immigration policy are part of a single system. We Americans are lied to about our role in the world. It isn't as altruistic as we are led to believe.
This is nonsense..... The reason they come her is to TAKE and send it home,to Mexico.
The majority do not come to the USA to become apart of it,just TAKE part of it!
Their country is ran by incapable people.That would be their problem and I would suggest all the Mexicans who came from Mexico to unite and take back their country.We know there are enough of them here in the USA to do it!
That's all good and well, but you can't tell me that every state has the same percentage of illegals. Southern border states have MORE of an issue with illegal immigrants... whose children are born here (and are therefore legal)... and end up in gangs and sell their lives to crime because they grow up in poor neighborhoods. It's just not AS much of an issue in northern or central states.
That is true, so far here in Northern Mexico - formerly known as Southern California, non Mexicans are far outnumbered. Up north it is just starting, but since their culture still encourages large families and ours has learned the folly of that, it won't be long. Some do grow up to be in gangs, some grow up to be mayor of Los Angeles or Governor of New Mexico. Since I'm out of work - again - I'm a little bitter. I better go study my spanish lessons so I can get a job.
Part of that reason that illegal aliens [are]in every state is because of corporate recruiting for blue collar [unskilled] labor. It's true. One example is the meat packing industry. These used to be high-paying jobs but companies like Tyson and others started to actually work with companies that imported illegals to staff ther slaughterhouses.
I agree, it will deteriorate, USA it´s a bit like Europe wich is a aglomerate of "small countries" too, USA has a diverse system of laws in a lot of states and thats harder to make it stronger wich in my Opinion in EU countries are more "balanced".
Still... all over the world the laws of emigration need a urgent change in the near future, no one likes to "leave the door open to anyone just cause freedom is a aquired asset" all them suffered from beeing that open.
Hmmm, amazing how my dad did everything the right way... even was here without speaking English... hmm.. He even lived in Montreal for 5 yrs and learn French while there while he waited to come in...
It used to be iligal for homosexuals to enter your country. About 2 decades ago my previous Dr. (a lesbian) was denied entry to your country - she was going to the Michigan Women's Music Festival.
I must admit I vacationed in your country illegally (when it was illegal).
By the way - I leave my door unlocked. I feel that it would trap me in and I chose not to live in a fear based culture.
P.S. do you know anyone who lied to an employer about being queer?
It was over 20 years ago. They also used to have discriminatory laws about people with HIV visiting the U.S.
I have not kept the old newspapers. The denial to cross into the U.S. happened to my former Doctor at the bluewater bridge between Sarnia and Michigan. Feel free to look it up.
I can see how it may be hard to imagine now. At one time there were also sodomy laws in the U.S. that made gay sex illegal.
Hopefully someday it will be hard to imagine that same sex marriage didn't exist.
Sodomy laws I know about. They were common in many parts of the world & not just for gays.
20 yrs ago, HIV was different.
My dad was unable to emigrate directly into the US because, in the early 50's, there were quotas on Southern Europeans. I'm not saying it didn't happen, just want more information. Sometimes, also, things happen because of the fault of people & not laws. There was a time when homosexuality was not taboo (in ancient Greece for one). Thanks for the info. I will look into it.
It's analogous because the immigration laws have much to do with racial discrimination. You should side with women before your government. After all your government is highly criminal according to international law.
Steph - please read my comment in context. The statement on sodomy was part of a larger discussion with LilCav.
It used to be illegal for queer people to go to the U.S. as tourists. I was never an illegal immigrant but I was an illegal tourist once. Does that make me a criminal in your eyes?
Ones sexuality has nothing to do with crossing the border illegally...
These are two very different subject all together.She broke laws by stepping foot on US soil with out going through the proper channels.Then she proceeded to willing purchase illegal SS numbers and US citizenship
papers.
I have no idea what she did in her bed and do not care. :o)
At one time sexuality had lots to do with crossing the border illegally - there were Canadians not allowed to vacation in your country simply because they were homos. This is no longer the case - I'm just stating that I was in your country illegally too. But not many people would consider it wrong now - opinions re laws change over time as society progresses. This woman and I broke different laws - and i had no intention of staying - I'm just saying our views of laws depend on time and place.
Back in the day we could leave our doors open and not worry about anything, but now there is so much corruption with some of the people in the world
She should have been deported and really if the government did more to prevent illegal entry into this country then that wouldn't be a problem. But they always come back, and when they do they should lock their ass up here, because it costs so much money on the tax payers part to deport these illegal entering ass people.
I see your point Steph. I think a fair and well rounded immigratation policy is a good thing for any country. Seeing as my country and yours are nations made up of immigrants essentially;(aside from the Aborginal Peoples)there are has to be a way for them to continue to be so. You are right laws are laws but I always think of besides the criminal element...you have to be pretty desperate to leave your own country and break laws to get into another. :)
Steph Unfortunately you as a european settler anchor baby, have no room to say who stays and who goes. Your ancestors illegally started wars with the natives and stole their lands. Now here you are comfortable trying to pick who can stay. Hypocrite. Why didnt your ancestors fix their crappy country?? Why didnt they assimilate when they came? Dont be so dense.

There are ways for them to come here legally. That is the only way they should be allowed. We have to live by the damn laws of this land and anyone else who wants to live here have to also.

My point was that people come here illegally and expect to reap the same benefits as those law-abiding immigrants worked to earn.
StephStance 3 years ago
I agree with you. While we call ourselves the land of opportunity there is very little opportunity here. Although compared to other countries we could be doing a lot worse. That being said when we make it an absolute gauntlet to become a legal citizen I'm not surprised that people take extreme measures to buck the system to survive.

as a person trying to legally survive the immigration process here in the UK this especially hits home. It's very complicated(and expensive) for me to stay in england. However if I spoke no english, worked illegally, had several children and relatives with me I would be taken care of - medical expenses, legal expenses, etc.... same thing all over Europe.

I believe that although we say that we want our borders to be strong we dont mean it. This country run's on illegal cheap labor. I am only able to screen SSI # after I hire. Which I think is crap. It cost me money, uniforms, insurance all to lose the employee after I verify the SSI #. I at times have to go through 30 employees to get one. If I check a SSI # before hire I can be charged with discrimination. Ugh sore spot.

For some reason if you are from Mexico the Laws do not apply! It is ridiculous
StephStance 3 years ago
There are lots and lots of laws. Most of us break some kind of law every day. I think illegal entry should be made a misdemeanor with a small fine and that all who are living here and working, thereby contributing to our society, which they live in, should be fast tracked for citizenship if they want to become citizens. Those who only want to work but not become permanent residents should be given some king of work permits.

What we are doing, catching and deporting are ridiculous. Immigration does not cause deterioration. Stupid laws do. We depend on immigration and it is becoming more important since the last generation born here did not even produce replacement population.

"1/4 of the illegals who cross the border are criminals before ever stepping foot on US soil"
Site some proof of that contention Steph, otherwise it just looks like jingoism on your part...I agree that felons should be deported, but this case, I'm not so sure.
broadjumper1 3 years ago
In Los Angeles, for example, dozens of members of a ruthless Salvadoran prison gang have sneaked back into town after having been deported for such crimes as murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and drug trafficking. Police officers know who they are and know that their mere presence in the country is a felony. Yet should a cop arrest an illegal gangbanger for felonious reentry, it is he who will be treated as a criminal, for violating the LAPD's rule against enforcing immigration law.
StephStance 3 years ago
the sheer political power of immigrant lobbies, a power so irresistible that police officials shrink from even mentioning the illegal-alien crime wave. "We can't even talk about it," says a frustrated LAPD captain. "People are afraid of a backlash from Hispanics." Another LAPD commander in a predominantly Hispanic, gang-infested district sighs: "I would get a firestorm of criticism if I talked about [enforcing the immigration law against illegals]."

Not only is the woman illegal, she's a thief.
Good riddance.
It's not simply a matter of open doors.
It's more like putting a sign on the front lawn advertising that those doors are open & that everything inside is free.
They KNOW the borders are poorly guarded. They know that there are always jobs that people are willing to give them. They KNOW they'll recieve decent healthcare if they get sick.
Beef up border patrols. Take away the perks. Zero tolerance.
It's the only way.

Steph, as usual, you bring up many enlightened and appropriate ideas. Yes the U.S.A did purchase the West/Southwest with the Treaty of Guadalupe and Gadsden Purchase, but the fact of the matter is there were people here before. The people the USA bought the land from were mainly Spaniards (real Spanish, not central american spanish). This can go hand in hand w/ the Louisiana Purchase. Technically we paid, but we stole.
Back to point, I will say lock yo' doors, idiots.

My doors have deadbolts on them. And they're always locked. On golf courses here in Fla, we use a LOT of Hispanic labor. They're the only people who want to work. But we also have a huge number of illegal immigrants. With every application I get, the very FIRST thing I do is log into the Social Security website and verify their SSN. If it's bogus, I report them. I don't care who they are or how many kids they have. Sorry, but if you're in my country, you'd damn well better be here legally.

I have no doubt about that, Steph. We're flooded with them here, as you are in Texas, and yes, they're taking jobs from local residents. But we use a lot of "common labor" maintaining golf courses, and Hispanics are often the ONLY applicants we get. I'd give locals priority any day, if they applied.

America is a country born on the dreams of the people who founded it. America's neighbours didn't help the country gain independence (although Canada did absorb a lot of Loyalists) and if a person isn't decendent of those first Americans or immigrated in a way those first Americans deemed fit, then why do they have the right to that freedom earned through the sacrifice of the American people?

Because that's an oversimplification. They aren't God given laws, they are man made laws instigated by a ruling elite who benefit from them. Period. Why don't you ask yourself about the consequences to the Mexican people, who are your neighbors, about the affect of our government's economic policies on them? We reach into their country, drive their people off their lands and then wonder why they're flooding in. You want to fix this, you're gonna need to bring it back to your own government.

Understanding the problem is the people's first responsibility. The solution isn't in stamping back impoverished individuals desperate to improve their lives. The solution is in recognizing what it is that has caused their desperation. I can't personally consider the movements of human beings across artificial boundaries a 'problem' but if you do, you'll want look at why it happens instead of that it happens.

Her country is affected by yours. You can't act as if the economic policies coming out of the United States bare no relationship to the waves of displaced and now migrating people, looking for work. US trade and immigration policy are part of a single system. We Americans are lied to about our role in the world. It isn't as altruistic as we are led to believe.

This is nonsense..... The reason they come her is to TAKE and send it home,to Mexico.

Excuse me, but there are now illegal aliens in every state. 10 years ago, that was not the case but now it is quite common in all states.
thizizliz 3 years ago
That's all good and well, but you can't tell me that every state has the same percentage of illegals. Southern border states have MORE of an issue with illegal immigrants... whose children are born here (and are therefore legal)... and end up in gangs and sell their lives to crime because they grow up in poor neighborhoods. It's just not AS much of an issue in northern or central states.
starlight8353 3 years ago
That is true, so far here in Northern Mexico - formerly known as Southern California, non Mexicans are far outnumbered. Up north it is just starting, but since their culture still encourages large families and ours has learned the folly of that, it won't be long. Some do grow up to be in gangs, some grow up to be mayor of Los Angeles or Governor of New Mexico. Since I'm out of work - again - I'm a little bitter. I better go study my spanish lessons so I can get a job.
thizizliz 3 years ago
Part of that reason that illegal aliens [are]in every state is because of corporate recruiting for blue collar [unskilled] labor. It's true. One example is the meat packing industry. These used to be high-paying jobs but companies like Tyson and others started to actually work with companies that imported illegals to staff ther slaughterhouses.

I agree, it will deteriorate, USA it´s a bit like Europe wich is a aglomerate of "small countries" too, USA has a diverse system of laws in a lot of states and thats harder to make it stronger wich in my Opinion in EU countries are more "balanced".
Still... all over the world the laws of emigration need a urgent change in the near future, no one likes to "leave the door open to anyone just cause freedom is a aquired asset" all them suffered from beeing that open.

I'm a 45 year old gay Canadian.
It used to be iligal for homosexuals to enter your country. About 2 decades ago my previous Dr. (a lesbian) was denied entry to your country - she was going to the Michigan Women's Music Festival.
I must admit I vacationed in your country illegally (when it was illegal).
By the way - I leave my door unlocked. I feel that it would trap me in and I chose not to live in a fear based culture.
P.S. do you know anyone who lied to an employer about being queer?
cavejourney 3 years ago
Can you substantiate that claim? I have extensive knowledge of immigrant laws and have never heard of that.
LilCav68 3 years ago
It was over 20 years ago. They also used to have discriminatory laws about people with HIV visiting the U.S.
I have not kept the old newspapers. The denial to cross into the U.S. happened to my former Doctor at the bluewater bridge between Sarnia and Michigan. Feel free to look it up.
I can see how it may be hard to imagine now. At one time there were also sodomy laws in the U.S. that made gay sex illegal.
Hopefully someday it will be hard to imagine that same sex marriage didn't exist.
cavejourney 3 years ago
Sodomy laws I know about. They were common in many parts of the world & not just for gays.
20 yrs ago, HIV was different.
My dad was unable to emigrate directly into the US because, in the early 50's, there were quotas on Southern Europeans. I'm not saying it didn't happen, just want more information. Sometimes, also, things happen because of the fault of people & not laws. There was a time when homosexuality was not taboo (in ancient Greece for one). Thanks for the info. I will look into it.
LilCav68 3 years ago
There are still sodomy laws.... but this has nothing to do with illegal immigration.
StephStance 3 years ago
It's analogous because the immigration laws have much to do with racial discrimination. You should side with women before your government. After all your government is highly criminal according to international law.
bendymind 3 years ago
Steph - please read my comment in context. The statement on sodomy was part of a larger discussion with LilCav.
It used to be illegal for queer people to go to the U.S. as tourists. I was never an illegal immigrant but I was an illegal tourist once. Does that make me a criminal in your eyes?

Ones sexuality has nothing to do with crossing the border illegally...
These are two very different subject all together.She broke laws by stepping foot on US soil with out going through the proper channels.Then she proceeded to willing purchase illegal SS numbers and US citizenship
papers.
I have no idea what she did in her bed and do not care. :o)
StephStance 3 years ago
At one time sexuality had lots to do with crossing the border illegally - there were Canadians not allowed to vacation in your country simply because they were homos. This is no longer the case - I'm just stating that I was in your country illegally too. But not many people would consider it wrong now - opinions re laws change over time as society progresses. This woman and I broke different laws - and i had no intention of staying - I'm just saying our views of laws depend on time and place.

You are right laws are laws but I always think of besides the criminal element...you have to be pretty desperate to leave your own country and break laws to get into another. :)
