You are the one who needs to do some research. Privilege is the sum of all those things you don't even notice. The fact that education is valued, and cheap, that food, housing and medical care and a basic living is guaranteed, allowing even the poorest to access that education. Then there's the employability of a person who doesn't even realise why they're so confident (because everyone always assumes the best of you).

Typical American thinking that life comes down to ready cash and nothing else.

Well, the operative word is illegal.

Whatever the cost, it will be well worth it, considering how many billions illegals cost us on an annual basis. Besides, not everybody who is sneaking across the border is coming to work. Many are coming to do us harm.

A $25 billion wall, whose maintenance cost would exceed that in 7 years? Mexicans are the least of our problems if we're pissing away that much money.

Where are those numbers coming from? They seem quite high...

Anyway, it would be hilarious if, to build this wall, you need to hire "illegals" because otherwise, the cost would be prohibitive.

Who does our immigration laws apply to. Does it only apply to middle class and above.

Have you ever see the Mexican South Wall that the US helped paid for?

Well, it depends. If you immigrated from Copenhagen with your family as an adult to become a University professor, I don't think that you should have any animosity toward someone who came to the USA illegally to escape poverty/violence/starvation/natural disaster/abuse/political torture, etc.

Most of the people who complain about illegal immigrants would do the same thing if they went through what some people around the world go through every day.

Many? What is your definition for "many?"

Really?

Most of the illegal immigrants that I know of are Europeans who come to the USA to work and provide a living for their families back home. I also know several South Americans and Mexicans who escaped poverty and have built good respectable lives in the USA.
