I don't feel sorry for American criminals who break the law and get hurt by doing so either. They did it to themselves. Desperate actions? No, most of them are liars and cheats that are coming here to take jobs, taxes and resources from Americans. Are American families less important whom actually have a right to be in this country?

You don't hate anyone? Who is being disingenuous now?

Were they doing anything illegally?
Actually an awful lot but I won't ruin it for you. Read the book!

I don't need to read the book to know that they weren't illegal aliens.

In Canada (after all the Klondike is in Canada) or the U.S.? Also, Skagway was notorious for outlawry. That was jumping off point to the least -bad way to get to the Klondike.

Either way, it was/is wrong to enter a country illegally yesterday or today!

I don't think you have a clue what Jesus' "exact message" was when you attribute a statement to him that was made by St. Augustine, and then later, Gandhi.

He certainly did say to follow the Ten Commandments. No lying stealing, coveting thy neighbor, etc. of which all illegals are guilty of. He also said to obey the laws of the land.

I wasn't here when Jesus spoke but I do know that rewarding bad behavior only encourages more. Personal responsibility is something decent people understand.

Precisely. Anyone who truly understands and respects this very basic precept could not in good conscience support illegal immigration. In fact, I do not think we should call it "immigration" at all. It is more akin to a pestilence like a swarm of locusts. It is more akin to an epidemic. It has no true resemblance to "immigration" at all.

The illegals carry this mindset with them once they are here, and from their arrival in this manner onward follows all the troubles and woes of the pestilence, of the epidemic. They have infested and infected pretty much every city and town in every state in the U.S. to a degree that is mind boggling! I saw very clearly in the 1970s where we were headed.

We have become too accustomed to them "blending in" in too many parts of the country---something Californians never did to the same extent as the rest of the country. If they were not in the Form of homo sapiens but rats instead, and you saw them amongst us in that Form, how could you feel anything other than horrified? You would not have to debate what should be done. It would be bloody SELF EVIDENT without much thought at all. Just think how many illegals, or thought of in another Form as rats, are around you each day in every possible venue from your neighbourhoods to your children's schools, parks, hospitals, shops, restaurants, and any place else you can think of.

I can no longer visit the park that was a part of my life for decades due to what is there now. I have not been to Neimans in at least 10 years now. The last time I was there, I was both STUNNED and horrified to see these people in there each adult with 5 or more loud, badly behaved kids not more than a year or two apart in age! All of them were totally inappropriately dressed and behaving as though they owned the place, as though the peace, comfort, and convenience of other shoppers as well as the staff were something totally alien to them. That is because it IS alien to them. They have no respect for decorum. They do not even have a passing acquaintance with decorum. Why would anyone think they would understand or respect decorum if they do not have respect for the LAW?! It is like this EVERYWHERE YOU GO NOW. Moreover, the greediest of businesses attempt to capitalise on this fact. These lowlife businesses do not care about either the illegals or the rest of us. They are only interested in the money in the pockets of their "prey."

The fact is that what the illegals and their supporters are doing is the same sort of damage that rats would do. This is a plague. They are destroying the U.S. We are LIVING the Fall and Decline of the United States, folks. Make no mistake about it. It may take another 50 years before everyone is finally willing to ADMIT it, but that is what is happening. By then it will be too late. Personally, I think it is already too late.
