Immigrants aren't necessarily good or bad.

Just like native born people are not necessarily good or bad.

The left has this hero worship with immigrants.

Yeah and the state already has a lot of issues. Highest poverty rate etc.

A good majority of illegals live in poverty too .

No hero worship, just humans accepting other humans.

Without an amnesty bill from Congress no they won't become citizens.

Get your illegals to dig you out.
Those hurricanes and tornadoes happen way more than earthquakes - - especially in San Diego. We'll take our money and you can worry about our earthquakes.

And the right has this hero worship with sheet wearing crackers. I'm fine with my side - - what about you?

So....good and decent people intentionally break the law. Interesting (they just want a better life doesn't cut it....it is a rationalization.....they know they are breaking the law).

BTW, as I said is correct, not like I said. Like is a comparison word, not a proper substitute for as in that context.

Your first sentence is spot on, and what you wrote in that sentence will happen.....whether people who think our immigration laws should be followed like it or not.

Yes they do sometimes in my opinion. Family comes first(I know that's a hard concept to fathom for some of the selfish pricks that post on here), but if I were in some of their shoes I likely would have chosen to come illegally to the US to make a better life for my kids. Thankfully I have never had to do it.

Lets build the "wall" along the California border.

It can be the sanctuary state for illegals, and the penitentiary state for all criminals. All the dregs of society can be sent there to fend for themselves, run their own economy, and all other affairs as they see fit.

The only thing the rest of the country pays for is maintenance on the wall.
