Kinda unkind to imply immigrants are not civilized.
Illegal immigrants are by definition knowingly breaking a law, a rather uncivilized act. Kayakers or border hoppers, regardless of country of origin, are not behaving in a civilized way.
- signed, a legal immigrant
breaking a law is not an uncivilized act. Everyone breaks laws all the time
I am also a legal immigrant, and it was kinda easy being one because of the luck of being born in a particular set of circumstances. If someone is crossing a border because they are failing to feed their family without it, that's a highly civilized act. Please don't demonize people just because they life has been harder than you understand.
Sorry, where do people cross borders due to starvation? Not the US, certainly.
