Yes, risk vs. reward. That's the basis for most unlawful behavior.

Does a "God-fearing person" willfully ignore His Ten Commandments? Do you think God condones liars, cheats, and thieves? I think not. You really should leave God out of this discussion.

LOL @ how serious this place is.

It was a hypothetical question, calm down.

Illegal immigration IS a very serious problem in this country. Calm down? A person can't address your post without being accused of some kind of irrational emotionalism?

It's a hypothetical question...

Reality =/= Hypothetical

Hypothetically, we're millionaires!

Well, The Lord's Prayer is to God, and does ask for Him to not lead us into temptation...

Haha... then clearly you haven't read many threads here, as I've read those very words myself from certain members.

Nope, never said that... but considering the incessant rambling and inability to stay on topic, I'd go with "yes" in terms of HOW you've handled this topic. The actual replies to the actual OP, however, are perfectly reasonable and rational for the most part.

If you don't like this board you might find one of those lefty, advocate for illegal alien boards more to your liking.
No thanks! It's not really a subject I often discuss, nor care to discuss with a bunch of other "lefties." Do you even know my political persuasion, or my actual stance on illegal immigration? You might know the former from my postings on P&OC, but I can't ever recall mentioning the latter here. Hmmmm.

You are correct about my not liking this board (sub-forum), which is why I only pop in when a subject on the landing page catches my attention... and it doesn't take long for me to remember why I stayed away in the first place! Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment, although it has been fun messing around with you guys on this one - amazing how I can say nothing of substance, and still get such detailed/personal and angry responses. LOL

Default Absolutely.

I would likely buy into the "American Dream" that is so intensely marketed, and try to get in to give my family a better life. You bet. I don't blame the immigrants for seeking a better life.

Now if we can just find a way to get these damn Conservatives OUT of the country. Immigrants can take their place.

gizmo980: you can blame illegal aliens for making ALL people speaking Spanish suspect. Just like if MOST illegal aliens were Gaelic speaking Irish, I'd be watching my back. It is what it is.

Then be ready to pay the piper if caught. Either by gangs trying to extort money from you since going to the cops is no option or by being deported and losing everything. I don't know about you but I sure as hell wouldn't wanna be living in the shadows.
