Do you personally know an illegal immigrant and/or their family? (Hiring a guy for a day doesn't count!). Ask a Question

Cesar Millan - the famous "Dog Whisperer" arrived in the US as an illegal. I can't say I'm personally acquainted with him, but I've taken more than once piece of advice from the guy. (lol)

After reading the question, I thought for 1 second and voted 'no'.

Then I thought another second and realised I should have voted 'yes' ...

What this question means I believe is "how can you judge someone you don't know." Pardon me if I'm wrong. Unfortunately I'm not judging the consequences of their presence in this country based on their personality or the sadness of their circumstances. I'm against their coming in illegally and the bad things that follow. I can feel compassion for them and understand why they would be tempted to run from Mexico but that doesn't mean I have to pay for the consequences of Mexico's bad economy and government. For me anyway, they are only welcome if they come in in a controlled fashion and legally.

The question is unbiased. It doesn't mean anything, it is asking for information. Had I meant it to mean anything, I would have given it biased answers...;-)
