Of course, they come for various reasons, that doesn't change the fact they are here illegally. That means they are breaking the law. In fact, they are breaking many laws.
People commit crimes for various reasons. Some people steal out of what they perceive as economic necessity. That doesn't keep it from being theft. That doesn't mean the victim is any less harmed by the theft - regardless of the reason.
The economics of it is some employers want to make money from illegals. They can usually pay them less, but they can also have no responsibility for them. If they get hurt, we foot the bill. They don't have to match taxes, etc.
Since the employer wants them here to make money, they pay the politicians and legal system to allow it to continue and to grow.
The illegals want it because they can make money, no taxes. They can get free education, medication, housing, food.
Their home countries love it - they like all the money that is siphoned off our economy and ends up in theirs.
The drug cartels love it. It gives them not only carriers and distributors, but cover.
The banks love it, they make tons of money from bank transfers as well as the money laundering.
Guess who gets the bill for all this? We, the American citizen and taxpayer does.
Yes, we have plenty of other miscreants - some home grown and some we have imported.
When I see illegals insulting, threatening, demanding from the American people - I loose all compassion. They not only are ungrateful, they have no respect. It's as if we have no right to our own country, property, wages, or life.
Illegal immigration gives cover to drug trafficking, to human trafficking, to terrorism, etc. There is blood on the hands of each and every illegal supporter - no way around that.
I think that Gutierrez was just putting on another show for publicity.
There were several people involved in this meeting trying to get ICE to tell them what their game plan was. Luis was just one of them and yes, he did it for the show to make the news to make sure his "supporters and constituents" knew he was working for them.
