No Mr. Weitz the lifes of illegal immigrants is a walk in the park compared to what the Pilgrims endured.

They either worked and lived or died, here were no welfare payments for having babies, free food, or free housing. If they couldn't afford a place to live they didn't have one, if they couldn't afford or find food, they starved.

This is no more than limosine liberals in Hollywood trying to shape national sentiment through film propaganda. . Since they are a huge source of money for the current administration and its policies, this is not surprising.
