> If someone said to me "hey, we can go make a lot more money, but we have an decent chance of being raped, kidnapped, robbed, or murdered", and I'd say, nah, I'll stay here. Do you think people immigrate illegally just for extra spending money? All of those horrible things can also happen to them at home. They choose to risk everything for the hope of a decent life for themselves and their families. If you're against illegal immigration, fine, but don't fool yourself that anyone is motivated by concern for the poor immigrants. If you really want to undercut the cartels and give immigrants a better life, make more opportunities for them to immigrate legally and become productive Americans.
