Immigration

Im in my second year of learning spanish and the other day we started something intresting. We started a unit on illegal immigration. Im not really sure how i feel and where i stand on this issiue. I was brought up to love everyone, and if i was living in mexico or somewhere else, you can bet your butt i would be coming to america. I also hate seeing cases where buisness's are raided by ice officers and parents are arrested and deported while there kids sit at home for days before someone comes to help. But theres also the future cop side of me, that knows the crime rates are higher with illegals. And i have first hand knowledge of how when they are arrested, they can't pay for a lawyer...and the great system that we have where we will appoint you a lawyer if you cant afford one makes sure that american tax's pays for them a lawyer. I dont think americans should have to pay for anyone but themselves to get them out of jail, not even our fellow americans. And we can't refuse them the right to medical care, who do you think pays for this?


Like i said, im not sure how i feel, do you have any thoughts?
