   There are many countries where it is very difficult to immigrate to, Australia comes to mind, but the US is not one of them if you have any real secondary education background at all.  The reason that the illegal immigration debate exists is because the tech sector and California / SanFran in particular (but also Seattle and NYC to a lesser degree) like cheap labour they do not have to pay the state-mandated minimum wage to, and because the state does not hold these companies accountable for employing people illegally.  The illegal immigrants make a convinent wedge topic, a bullseye for the disaffected working class the same businesses whom are so skeevy can use as a shield for criticism.

      You should not be able to work in a country while not following it's employment laws and criminal code.  You should not be able to remain in a country if you have entered illegally.  You should not be allowed back into a country if you were extradited.
      
      None of these should be controversial statements.  All of these should result in sanctions.  None of them did, in the case of the assailant in that murder trial.

         The fact that social justice advocates are actively defending a convicted felon whom is a foreign national that has illegally entered the country several times is basically why I have absolutely no respect for American "social justice"

            A woman is dead because of your politics, I hope you can find peace with the fact that said blood is on the hands of each and every one of you that enabled that to happen.

         @maiyannah I think that national borders and obsessions with observing their sanctity is bogus and originates with the nation state. The "fortress Europe" mentality results in the human rights abuses of Yarl's Wood and the needless deaths of thousands of people in the Mediterranean sea. On a more familiar street level belief in borders also results in arbitrary discrimination and bigotry, and is comprehensively exploited by capitalists to avoid paying employees properly.
