They're actually illegal alien invaders. How 'bout we call what them what they are. They are entering illegally. All the freaking time. They are not migrants, nor are they immigrants.
They are calling them "migrants" to hide the FACT that they are illegal aliens. "Migrants" makes it seem like a nice visit by people from another country. The true migrants in the U.S. are the farm workers who get seasonal visas to work crops in various parts of the country, but are supposed to go back each year (but I wonder how many never go back), and presumably return the following year, or perhaps at a different time of year in a different part of the country.
There are distinctions though. A migrant is someone who moves from one place to another usually for work. Following work, even in the same country would include migrants. An immigrant is a person who goes through a legal process to live in a new country. "Illegal immigrant" doesn't really make sense, since they are not going through a legal process in order to live in a new country. Hence: illegal invaders.
I feel your pain. We have many from South America and Mexico where I live. I find them personally to be lovely people, but that aside they are here illegally. As someone with immigrant close relatives, it frankly angers me that so many are "jumping the line", with the blessing of our so-called governments. BTW, they're treated quite well where I am.
Not sure that home is "hell". I think many are coming for economic advantage, and they send a boatload of money back home. These are, for the most part, not refugees from war torn countries.
You're not wrong but it doesn't give them a pass to just break the rules.
I'm in Taiwan right now and people here sign up for the visa lottery system on the off chance that they'll "win" and they can one day go to America. It takes years and luck for most of them to follow the legal process.
Or you can just waltz on in like you own the place.
You know, when homeless people just barge into your house and eat your food because their life sucks and they're hungry you're happy to just let them do it, right?
I think I'd respond better to a knock on the door.
I think much of the attraction of the U.S. is generated through American movies that they watch, producing a lust for material possessions (same as the commercials and TV shows and movies do to a large percentage of the population here), and a general mis-representation of life in the U.S.
