I remember there are Mexican American politicians in the US who's whole response to their platform against illegal immigration was literally that they're closing the door on people behind them (jumping the border). Understandably there will be people like that, but that they'd get elected and can espouse such beliefs shows that there are people out there with seriously messed up values.
- collyw 9y agoDid these people get in legally or illegally? If they played by the rules I can understand them, being annoyed at people that don't.
- chrischen 9y agoI think it was the Daily Show or something like that. They specifically highlighted that the guy got in illegally. This isn't the guy they highlighted (person was a man), but similar: https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2011/0913/Susana-Martinez-Can-a-Latina-governor-be-anti-illegal-immigration https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/2011/0913/Susana-Martinez-Can-... That being said, nothing wrong with being against illegal immigration. It's illegal for a reason. But being a beneficiary of it and not being understanding of it takes a certain type of skill.
