69. Some do, but certainly not all
Some come to escape oppression, be it from society, their government, or family. Some to work, for how ever long, then go home, some for other reasons.

But, we can agree that by denying them employment, the net result will be to starve them out? Oh, they may not die from that starvation, they may leave before it gets to that point, but that is the end goal, right?

I'm looking at the 'then, what' aspects. Shouldn't those be considered? It's easy to throw out suggestions (nothing personal, I see a lot listed that can't pass the 'and then what' test), but shouldn't we look past the initial feel good statement to the ramifications of them? :shrug:

Perhaps a crack down on landlords who rent to people crossing the border in an unlawful manner? No work, no place to stay if/when they would get here..... :hi:

FWIW, I don't have the answer, never claimed to, but I see more questions arising from answers, and that only makes me ask more questions.

'Every question answered leads to seven other questions. Therefore, the gathering of knowledge merely increases the awareness of how much more there is to still know' :smoke:
