79. it's my country too, and my laws too, and I don't begrudge anyone...

...struggling to feed their families an opportunity to work in America. I don't care if they're illegal. I piss on any law that denies anyone the right to seek a better life because they are the wrong color, or the wrong ethnicity, or were born on the wrong side of the border. The Constitution notes that human rights are INALIENABLE rights. Borders do not matter when it comes to human rights, and I believe that the right to a decent living is a fundamental human right. It isn't reserved for Americans, not even in America, not if our fundamental principles mean anything.
