when the chips are down, and you dont have a job, cant feed your family... yeah, you would. just to be clear here, im not saying that we should just let everyone in, im not saying that it makes it ok... im just saying that i can totally understand why it happens... because if the situations were reversed, we'd be doing the exact same thing. wow. i guess this is the most telling right here... yeah, why would i ever empathize with any other member of the human race that isnt american... i guess im just not the typical selfish, me-first, american, and can actually feel empathy for people... i mean they are only human. we all are. there is some pervasive attitude that if you arent american, then you are a lesser people, and its complete bullshit.
