Would you break the law to feed your starving children?

Question

Breaking the law is no good thing, everyone knows. but if my children asked me for food, and i didnt have money or the nike sweatshop wouldnt hire me, i would hop the fence and cross the border 2 no questions asked, and i would get deported, SO I WOULD DO IT AGAIN FOR MY KIDS.

WHERE IS THE MALICIOUSNESS, WHERE IS THE WICKENESS IN MY ACTIONS, should i be treated like a plague for trying to feed my children.

i appreciate the name calling, thanx
and just to add, i am not here illegally, i was born here, i am 19 and i plan to join the army, it is my duty as a US citizen.

oh yea and ive never been to mexico, but i can tell you about el salvador, if you ask me.

Yes i have lived in el salvador and seen the hunger. I have seen my family eat 2 tortillas the entire day. and they work 10 hours a damn day.

GO TO EL SALVADOR, but live their life for a month... we'll see.

WAR TORN EL SALVADOR,
not having kids is a good idea, but how does that answer my question when those kids are already here?

a law is a law, but sometimes harsh times call for desperate measures.

"take the easy way out"
my mom cleaned toilets, worked the factory
also known as sweatshops in Downtown LA. all back breaking labor, for 20 years here in LA. Yup the easy way out...
i know i want to clean toilets when i grow up.

who said anything about supporting my kids, my family never asked for welfare, they asked for a toilet to clean, its just reality, they asked for a job, they could not find a job in el salvador, so they came here TO GET A JOB.
i think you should know by now that an education is not free here, its like that in el salvador but 50 times worse.

i just talk from what i see, i been to tj, and i have lived in el salvador, and its no book is going to explain what i have seen with my own eyes, and the people i have lived around,

not to mention my parents lived during the salvadorean war, and the hardships they went through after that.

i dont blame the minutemen, but dont come telling me this book said this this book said that, get out there and see, maybe youll feel something.

as you can see my question is would you break the law, not is there a law...

i come from illegal immigrants, that became legal despite, the fury of many, who didnt want them here, now we are US citizen, we are law abiding, i have a brother, and 3 cousins in the marines, fighting along side other races, in iraq.
i plan to follow in there footsteps, because i love this country i was born here. MALICIOUS ME>

Answer 1

Great question. "Would you break the law to feed your starving children?".

My answer is yes.

I just read your additional comments. I hope that you'll continue to move forward in a positive way. Take care.

Answer 2

First of all, people have the wrong idea about poverty in Mexico. Poverty is a question of priorities and how poverty is measured in certain countries. The money and time invested in religious celebrations is enormous, Mexico has more holidays than any other country in the world. People do have very little, but to save all year long for a rural 3-day celebration for some saint that was invented to substitute pre-colonial pagan gods, is not what would be called poverty. The culture has maintained Mexico in poverty,
and to get a better picture about Mexico, try reading the Nobel Prize in Literature, Octavio Paz.
The statistics show, that most illegals were employed before leaving the country, there are other motives other than starvation, some are also to evade the Mexican law. Look right now, the Miners Union Leader has fled to Canada evading the Mexican law for his possible responsability in the death of miners. Instead of facing the law, he chose to flee, and don't tell me it is because of starvation. And there are many cases, that don't go public. Not all 12 million are because of starvation. You are just giving an example you can't prove.

Answer 3

No; they simply use this for an excuse and to make a declare within the title of humanity. Why no longer seem to their possess govt? Instead of short of holiday our legislation as an excuse to assert hunger. America isn't dependable for each alien available in the market. Why is the whole international short of holiday ou legislation and no longer upholding their possess legislation and are living inside them. But responsible America for his or her circumstances..That is simply too so much. ..That is what that is rather pronouncing. If we don't have any legislation, then now we have civil wars, revolutions, anarchy, tyranny and the whole lot else that any person can believe of. Why are not able to these types of ravenous men and women or men and women short of to paintings PUT THE BLAME ON THE ENTIRE WORLD.?? The solutions may also be most effective as clever because the query.

Answer 4

BUT......Would you plant a garden and tend it? Bring the water for 2 miles on your back to water it???? Looks like you would rather take the easy way out at the expense of others.

Nice can of worms got opened here.

Basically America is sick of all the begging. My parents came out of the Great Dust Bowl....immigrants in their own country. Turned away from towns as vagrants and gypsies. Finally, they made their way to Washington State and spent years picking fruit and working the fields, saving every penny for the promise of a better life. After many years my mom and dad opened a tiny rural grocery store and worked 18 hours a day, 7 days a week. Us kids worked in the store from age 6 or so. And as a family, we built a better life. That is what it means to be an American.

If you want a better life then use your hands to work not to beg for handouts.

Answer 5

Well, I would also like to make sure that my children have the money from THEIR government to have decent schools, properly funded government programs to assist them if they need it, and for them not to have to pay for someone else that isn't paying into the system, but using the benefits. I have NO problem with anyone coming into this country, just so long as they follow the proper channels and do it the legal way. No ride is free - they need to pay for the programs they use by paying income tax (that is for the benefit of all you yahoos that state illegal immigrants pay taxes when they buy things).

Answer 6

If I broke the law, I would expect to suffer the consequences if caught.

Here in the United States, since schools are funded by property taxes, primarily, some schools are better than others. If someone sneaks their child into a better school, pretending to live in that district and using fraudulent documentation, they may get away with it for a while. As soon as they are found out, however, they are booted out, mid year or not.

Answer 7

I have never seen one starving Mexican coming over the border even the women look pretty healthy, I have yet to see a wafer thin Mexican on the news or in the papers. I have not seen any that look like concentration camp victims, so I don't believe they are starving in Mexico and if they were, where is the Mexican government why would they let their people starve, where are all those humanitarian Mexicans that are standing by and letting their people starve shame on them.

Answer 8

Presume you're talking about illegal Mexicans, since you're talking about hopping across the border .... well, Mexico is the 13th riches country in the world ... plenty of money there to spread a bit of happiness ... last times I checked there were plenty of jobs in Tijuana ... I'm sure the same is true for other cities too .... and if you insist of having a bevvy of children you can't support, I suggest you tie a knot on it ....

Answer 9

You are a retard! You shouldn't ask questions that just make you look like a dumb a$$!!

Sorry to offend you my friend, but sometimes the truth hurts. Maybe if mexicans kept their damn pants on they wouldn't have a bunch of little snot nosed brats running around. If they can't feed themselves why reproduce?? You may think I am harsh, but hello!! Take a look outside the box.

Answer 10

WHERE IS THE MALICIOUSNESS, WHERE IS THE WICKEDNESS IN MY ACTIONS

Nobody Ever Said What You Did Was Wicked Or Malicious
What You Did Was Against The Law
And When You Get Caught Breaking The Law You Pay For It

We Are Told That We have to try to empathize with those
that are simply trying to make a living
for themselves and their families.
We need to be understanding and humane
when dealing with a population
That finds itself in a situation
where it must break our laws
to better their own situations.

Well, then what about the poor young man
who grows up in the inner city?
All that he knows is the drug culture.
He has no marketable skills
as a result of an education system that has failed him.
(OVERCROWDED SCHOOLS)
He spends every day immersed in a culture
of drugs and violence,
to the point that that is the only life that he knows.
He finds himself with a family to support
and no way to support it.
The only alternative for him is to resort to breaking our laws.
He must deal drugs(FOR INSTANCE) just to get by.

Shouldn't we take a "humane" and "comprehensive" approach
to dealing with this type of criminal, as well?
After all, he is only breaking our laws
because he feels that he must do so in order to make a living.
He wouldn’t be able to sell drugs
if there wasn't such a huge market
for his poison in the United States.
Individuals that turn to dealing drugs
are many times just as desperate as those
that brave unbelievable conditions
to enter this country ILLEGALLY.
In fact, I would argue that a drug dealer braves
even MORE Real and Serious Dangers than
ILLEGAL Immigrants who can’t seem to take the basic steps
to enter this country LEGALLY.

ILLEGAL ALIENS in America are here only because
they are GUILTY of CRIMINAL VIOLATION
of our FEDERAL LAWS, Jumping our borders
and living in a shadowy underground economy.
They are morally culpable for shoving aside
those who adhere to the law and enter
these United States in orderly and Legal Fashion.
Since when do criminals and cheaters receive
pride of place for the blessings of liberty,
over those honestly, earnestly and faithfully
seeking to become American citizens?

President Bush has called for a reasonable and civil debate
over the issues of border security and immigration reform.
But the American people understand
there can be no responsible immigration reform
UNTIL OUR BORDERS ARE SECURE.
“Guest worker” amnesty programs
ARE NOT a part of border security.
Amnesty is not the answer.
To grant amnesty to these trespassers is to say
"You crossed our borders ILLEGALLY,
You BROKE OUR LAWS
and now we are REWARDING you with U.S. Citizenship --
Congratulations!"

This is unacceptable.

Answer 11

Let's see.... Who forced you to have the kids...
Why ask some other person to support your kids ??
Weren't you smart enought to use birth control methods ??
I bet you still are playing around and not taking any birth control pills etc..
You blame your childern..How about an education... Course the children might have caused you not to continue your education..
