If a illegal immigrant entered to a country illegally, he or she needs to fix his or her legal situation, adapt to a new culture, speak the language and respect the rules and regulations of the new country, the reason usa and other countries is not opening the borders is because a lot of bad behaviour people mixed with good people enter crossing the border illegally and good people enter here but do not adapt to the culture and do not contribute to the progress of the nation (or prefers only to live with helps of the government), please tell your friends and relatives this.

I came to El Paso to learn English and my family trusted a Hispanic family to host me in their house. I can not lie to you, it was a nightmare, thet treated me horrible and made sure to tell me every day to go back to Mex because I will never make it here. My family reported them and changed me to a "white" family... These people supported me, supported my dreams and goals. I graduated from UTEP as a Mechanical Engineer and now I am working in the aerospace industry. At the end it hurts that hispanics were the ones who hurted me the most, and the saying of "the worst enemy of a Mexican, is another Mexican" is true

It’s not a Mexican it’s a white Hispanic that is coconut 🥥 😂💀

I'm sorry this happened to you. My dad is from Guadalajara and my mom from El Salvador. I would never treat an immigrant that way. I just happened to have been born in CA doesn't make me better than anyone. Glad you found a supportive family.

I am a DACA Holder however these past 2 years I've been dealing with covid. And didn't apply for my Daca. I have never had this issue before, but this time I waited to get my DACA for 2 years. And out of the know where the government says that people who waited for too long to apply are not eligible. I'm looking for a civil rights attorney who can help me Sue the judge appointed by Trump in Texas who approve the band without informing the DACA recipients!!!!

What pisses me off with this left vs right take on immigration is that it's exceedingly rare to find anyone talking about WHY illegal immigration seems to be the only option for millions of people. What about the lives of so many in Haiti, Central and South America is so irreconcilably difficult that they choose to leave everything they know and risk their lives to come to the US?? If more people (media outlets) took an honest look at the history of those countries, I think we would have a more objective discussion on (il)legal immigration in the US.

[@sircharlesmormont9300]

The first time I heard about this idea, it came from my parents. They said that Democrats wanted more immigration so that the incoming immigrants would vote for them. They said "we're losing our country." I found it very confusing. I said, "so... if they're going to vote, then they're going to become citizens, right?" They said yes. I was like, "How is that any different from what has always happened? People immigrate, become citizens, and then vote for representatives and ballot measures. We're a nation of immigrants. That's just Americans voting!" They seemed to think it was different, somehow, and I never did a clear answer as to how.

[@neal.karn-jones]

We can't take care of the people that are here already. Not everyone comes here to be American and be part of our culture either. Some have other motives that will definitely change the country if we absorb them too fast. Slow is fine. Fast will destroy us.

Let me explain how. If there are 100 people that vote in an election then each person has 1% of the vote. If you let another hundred in each person's vote is now half .05% of the previous value. It's simple math. They have less say. Someone pointed out my math was wrong. And it was. Half of 1% is .5% and not .05% as I typed.
