Do you support illegal immigration?

If so i am curious if you support it enough to that you would take some illegal immigrants into your own household and let them live there with you?
People who say they support it, normally like putting on this act that they care so much so i am curious just how much you care..

Also those who constantly go on about seperating children from their parents when it comes to those who enter the country illegally, do you care so much when people in your country break the law and get a prison sentance and can not stay with their children? never see any one protest rights for prisoners and not to seperate their families..

just a thought. i know some people are going to get their panties in a twist over this as it always happens when these questions pop up but maybe instead of getting all angry about the law, you should get annoyed about those who break it and not act as though they deserve handouts for doing so

Interesting question, at least asking something, it wasnt an illegal immigrant but an exchange student from the same country. One thing I can promise you they offered a different imprint on me, I was 13, and I liked that of them. I don't have big ideas, in distortion, what others are after is expressing themselves and happiness. If you are uncomfortable with accepting new cultures in your life, you have the perfect government.

@SW-User I think learning and experiencing other cultures is a good thing. Not when it breaks the law though

@PlumBerries The obvious question comes, won't be unique to Canada, we broke our Indigenous communities, and if that statement of yours even rung true in a way there would be something as Indigenous law.

@PlumBerries Again, asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants. You are not asking a pertinent question. The problem is with asylum seekers who have the right under international law to request asylum. These are not for the most part Mexicans, they are from Guatamala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. War torn nations where their lives and those of their children, are in danger

@wildbill83 And there is many different poets.. some discouraged by how North America treated them, looking for something else. Here's a celebrated one

@NodandaWinkI am not talking about asylum seekers, I am talking about people who enter the country illegally. I am sure they would love a place to stay and rest up. Would you be willing to take some in yourself?

@PlumBerries I would be. I only have a one bedroom apartment so it takes a lot to make that happen. I respond the way I do in a way, as what is going on in the States seems to have reflection here in Canada. Which is absurd, we are one of the countries which doesn't actually doesn't almost an international boundary outside America. Almost an island.

But I in the same way, if they were seeking to finding respite or care from where they were would want to welcome them.

"war torn nation"

We were once a war torn nation (the civil war), so we built a better country with blood, sweat, and tears...

we didn't run away to another country and demand free handouts.

It's ironic really. People complain about the USA on a daily basis, claiming us to be a bunch of greedy, arrogant, immoral, warmongers... yet, there's no shortage of people trying to get into our country (much more so than any other country on Earth)

Maybe people should spend more effort on fixing their own country rather than slandering ours... 🤔

@PlumBerries The vast majority of illegal immigrants to Oz, simply arrive on tourist visas and dissapear into various support networks many never even apply for any sort of immigration status. At one stage numbers arriving by air were around 95%.

@KiwiBird that is interesting, I didn't know that
