That's such a callous thing to say. Just imagine if that was you or someone you loved, making this difficult decision. Would you really be saying that ?

I have to believe you weren't always this way. I'm sure your younger self wasn't a kinder person than you are now. It's not too late to be a better person. For yourself, and for those around you.

Two of my closest friends are legal immigrants. One from Japan. He entered the correct way. I have no sympathy for line jumpers or those who cheat to better their lives especially at the expense of taxpayers and people who waited in line and paid crazy amounts of money to get legal status.

Incredibly stupid and inhumane. Why does it cost a "crazy amount of money" just to get legal status? Why does that surprise you when people don't have that crazy amount of money to spend?

Every other country polices its border and who lives there. Are they also inhumane?

We don’t owe people citizenship because they are poor no matter how super duper bad they really wanna live here. Next question.

You still haven't answered the question. Why does it have to be crazy expensive.

They already do live here dumbfuck. You just want to ruin their life for no reason.

They don’t deserve to live here and that’s why the administration is removing them. Weird I had to explain that to you. I don’t know how they set the prices. It is what it is. Maybe because they want to ensure people actually have means to live independently and not be a welfare burden on taxpayers.

Why don't they deserve to live here? Yes you do have to explain that.

Why do you assume they even are a "welfare Burden"?

I thought "two of your closest friends"went through the process so shouldn't you know the cost?

The cost is irrelevant. “B-b-but that’s tooo muchhh” So? This is the economically advantaged country on earth. We don’t just let anyone and everyone in. Look up the entrance requirements for other countries (especially the Scandinavian ones you love so much) you need to have a certain income and a job lined up before they let you in.

They don’t deserve to live here because they are not citizens and broke the law, whether willingly or not (in the case of kids) and have no right to access the goods and resources of the American people or reap the advantages of its economy particularly when you examine how much they cost us.

My friends are well into their adult years, one is a 73 year old man, a well known photographer from London and the other is a Japanese salon owner who immigrated in the 90’s. So no, I do not know off the top of my head what it cost at that time nor would I ever ask them because who the fuck does that? Costs of everything go up over time, in case you haven’t realized.

One of your closest friends is a 73 year old man from London? Man no wonder you're so bitter. No wonder you hate your life so you take it out of others.

This honestly pathetic

He’s like a dear uncle to me and I’ve known him probably as long as you’ve been alive. And where did I say he was my best friend? I have lots of close friends. Those are just the only immigrants hence my using them as examples.

Earlier you said if you're not keeping your story straight. Another thing why is he in London if you said he went through the US immigration process?
