Do you care more about your own children or other people's children?

Question

I ask this because, okay, people complain about illegal immigrants using your funds and the kids crowding your schools, but why am I supposed to care about that? I care about making my kids's life better.

Should I say, sorry kids, I am not going to feed you because it is not fair to other kids?

Answer 1

I have no sympathy for you or your family as you put yourself and your family in the predicament by breaking the law. I do not break the law to take care of my kids. I also disagree with a religion that teaches it's followers to have more children than they can possibly take care of. I was reared by a Catholic mother who stopped going to the church because of this. We do follow another teaching from another church that is very much like Catholisism, except for banning it's members from using birth control. I do not believe you should bring children into the world that you cannot provide for without having to ask the government for help. To me that is communism.

Now to add insult to injury, thanks to people whose families who cannot speak English, our children may be forced to learn Spanish here in Texas so they can better communicate with illegal immigrant children. I think this is wrong in so many aspects. I am going to fight this just as I have the amnesty bill. By the way, my grandfather came from Mexico legally.

Answer 2

Of course you shouldn't. You, just like everyone else who has children, are looking out for their welfare first. So if their welfare is better here in the US then I completely understand bringing them here. I would hope that most parents would do what it takes to make their children's lives better, even if it means making the lives of the parents more difficult by living illegally in the US.

Whether or not entering the US is legally or morally correct is a whole other issue which, in my opinion, can and should go both ways.

Oh, and if you are working and paying taxes how are you a burden to everyone else, eh?

Just a thought.

Answer 3

Well feeding your kids isn't the issue. It is more or less taking federal money to feed your kids, and putting them in a public school that American taxpayers pay for. What are you doing as a parent for your children to deserve the benefits of our government and our schools? No one begrudges you for wanting to provide your kids a better life/future, however coming here illegally isn't the correct way to do it. Millions of others have come here the lawful way, and there is no reason that you can't either.

Answer 4

Your question, and your attempt to explain your questionable logic, is simply a microcosm of what is wrong with Mexico.

In the US, people are guided by civic minded self-interest, not tribalism. It does society no good if the freeloaders of the world continually make demands without recompensating society. Maybe your children will be US taxpayers, but they will be paying the way for their children. You will not be paying their way it seems.

Who chose to have kids when they couldn't support them?

I don't support welfare cultures.

I don't feel the US should have to support basket case countries like Mexico either.

You're simply absolving yourself of any responsibility for your actions, which is typical of those who seek to shift blame to others for any hardship or any inconvenience.

This is the same mindset that results in public tolerance of beheadings of police by drug cartels, assassination of reporters to silence their investigations, and indifference to the burden on society, as long as "I get mine".

Then you have the temerity to wonder why illegal aliens aren't very welcome here?

Answer 5

I care about my own kids, who are here LEGALLY, as CITIZENS to go to school HERE. The kids here illegally are taking from that. So, I am for the kids who have parents who are here legally, as citizens, and the education OUR children are getting. I care about more children than my own.
But now illegals want the schools to teach their kids in their language, and do it for free to them. I raised my citizen children speaking the language of this country, and sent them to the schools they are legally supposed to go to.
This has nothing to do with food. Go hunt or fish if you don't want your children to go to sleep hungry. And do it on your own soil, the place you were born. It is what my children and I do, we live where we were born. And we have gone to school here.
I have zilch sympathy for the people who break into this country illegally, just as I would have no sympathy with someone who broke into my own home illegally. All the same thing in my eyes, and I wouldn't give them free benefits to live in my home, nor would I pay to send their children to school. That is the right of MY children.
There are schools in Mexico, aren't there?

Answer 6

Well it's not fair to all the kids not one or the other, but everyone cares about their own of course before anyone else's.
You are here to make your kids life better, that i understand, it doesn't mean you are not breaking our laws.
You are.
If we came to your country and broke your laws we would have to pay, which is what you need to do pay for breaking the law.
Your kids come first anyday of the week i am glad of that but, I don't care about your kids so why do I have to pay for them?
You don't pay for mine.
i didn't have them and you need to be responsible for them and also tell your hispanic bretheren to learn how to speak OUR language, you want the United States to have Spanish everything, well were not spanish anything so learn how to talk .
and what you tell your kids is sorry kids but they don't want us in their country unless we go there legally. That's what a parent does they teach their kids how to be law abiding citizens. whether they listen or not is another story but it's our job as parents to teach them how to NOT break the laws of any country.

Answer 7

Why is a bank robber supposed to care about the teller he shoots? Obviously he's not, that's why he needs to be arrested.

Nations establish a rule of law to protect thier citizens - and, for that matter, legal residents and foreign national visitors - while the impulse to break the law for your own benefit is understandible, especially out of desperation, it is no excuse.

Answer 8

let say it's this way.this children are biologically yours ;so definitely you will do everything possible to meet up their needs.they are yours .what ever happends to them affect you,so be ready. In words other kids were brought to the world by somebody but due to circumstances that may arise and your love is needed ;go ahead and show it
make sure your love towards others does not affect your childdren.to be honest with you it is vice veser

Answer 9

Not every human is so selfish, my mother-in-law was breast feeding her baby and a neighbors while hiding in the cellar for months during WW11.Her poor neighbor was to thin to have any milk for her child.My mom-in-law was thin herself but tried to save another child besides her own. She didn't have enough for her own but helped someone else. Some people see all children as precious,I wonder how many people would of done the same.

Answer 10

see, when you said illegal immigrants using our funds and the kids crowding our schools, it deals directly with our children. we don't want overcrowded schools, we want our children to have a better learning environment. so yea i care more about my childrem, your question doesn't really make sense to me.
