This all well and good until you actually meet some of these people. It completely changed my belief system. I was hardnosed about illegals until I started doing intakes at my church social outreach in a Long Island suburb. People are hungry and without warm clothing. Some manage to get rooms or apartments, often without gas or electric. And no bedding. They have papers from Homeland security. It is heartbreaking. I do what I can for each of them because they are my fellow human beings.
What about our vets living homeless with an insanely high suicide rate...who's helping them? What about the children in America that are going to bed hungry at night and living in squalor, who's helping them?
There are already plenty of American citizens who need help that aren't getting it. I'm not sure how adding millions of people coming here ILLEGALLY to the pile helps anything.
So the people you are helping left a place where they either had something or already had nothing only to come here, have nothing, and be a burden on our already failed social services programs?
