Does that entitle you to immigrate there anyways? That is my question.

And are the citizens of that country just supposed to welcome you with open arms? Probably not.

You guys need to start looking at things from the other perspective.
The biggest complaint with Trump's rhetoric is that he's fear mongering that illegals are coming to kill your children, when they aren't any more violent than US citizens. Most of them are hard working, and they're in America out of desperation. You know, pulling themselves up by their bootstraps.

And just throwing them all out isn't the answer because there aren't enough Americans willing to do the crap jobs, like picking lettuce.

If they're in the country to commit crime, or leech off the system, by all means boot them out. But a mass deportation just doesn't work, and the wall is absurdly wasteful, whether they can get Mexico to pay, or not. There needs to be nuance, which is something Trump can't comprehend.
