Exactly what I said.

you would follow the laid out legal procedure as it is no matter what poverty, violence you and your family are subjected to? it's the infallible law dammit, right?

Violence is an excuse, poverty isn't.

Yes, you should follow the law. We have borders and we have laws.

Every single person here illegally that is not escaping a civil war should be returned because they are criminals.

poverty and violence often are products of each other. i don't know of a peaceful poverty stricken land. would you agree that it's much harder to pull yourself up by the bootstraps when you are handicapped by corrupt, inept governments?

Corruption and inept governments are not the problem of the American people.

The only people that can fix those problems are the people of that country. That sai yes, I would say it is more difficult. However, I dont see the relevance to making it okay to break our laws.

If poverty and violence excuse the breaking of laws why is it not okay to rob a bank or a grocery store if you are broke or hungry?

The rule of law is the single most important part about our country. We cannot survive if we come up with excuses as to why breaking the law is okay.
