Imigration

[DuncanONeil]

I was including "illegals" as net providers of benefits ... some are undoubtedly criminals - traffikers, thieves, killers, rapists and so on, others are poor, desperate people looking for a safer, better life. And I suspect that, even among the "illegals" they are the greater part.

Some are criminals?? What part of the term illegals eludes you? That in and of itself makes you criminal!

That is EXACTLY the kind of thinking I deplore

You mean the kind of think that protects others from parasites. Like the coyotes that charge exorbitant fees to move them across the border, maybe, and treat them as less than human. After all, what are coyotes? Aren't they SCAVENGERS?
