Feel free to go there yourself, Eddie.
I would if you heard me complaining about how much better it was than the US. If illegal immigrants don’t like it here they need to go back to the third world shitholes they came from instead of bitching about how we need to be more accomodating.

It is just like drugs, drugs dealers exist because drogadicts do. If Illegal workers permitted being underpaid the employers will always take advantage of it. Today the resolution is taken by the government to take advantage of their relatives’ votes in the elections. Their lives will be the same, if they do not decide to fight for their rights. They will not do it because they are afraid to deported. so is the never ended story. Who was the first the egg or the ken?

Unfortunatly, the “Shithole” he is from is so poor because of the United States. Haiti is the country with the most United States intervention in the 20th century. If you read the history, it’s gruesome. I think we should show these people some compassion, at the very least. People seem to have this need to direct their anger at the suffering, rather than help them. I really don’t understand that.
