22. It's sad that so many spout off the 'law' as if laws cannot be
bad, and do not think of the toll on human beings, on people. It's as if they are talking about a commodity.

I am really sorry about your son's friends, it IS heartless to do what we are doing to many of these people.

There are humane solutions to the problem of immigration. Maybe we could start by discontinuing support for governments that are corrupt who drive their people to desperation. And start recognizing that the immigration problem escalated after NAFTA went into effect and start taking some responsibility for the role the U.S. has played in the lack of jobs in Mexico and other poor countries. Countries whose resources we USE without thinking.

We are like spoiled brats. We have ours, even if we took it without benefit to those who owned it, and that's all that matters to some people. No thought goes into these statements 'it's the LAW'. It just seems to make people feel good to pass judgement on others less fortunate.
