    At a human level, I would be doing the same as them. I hate the heat. I like clean drinking water, and relative safety. I like surviving.

    I can’t really hold a grudge on people doing what they have evolved to do. To put up boarders is futile, and usually counterproductive. We are all people.

    I’m not political scientist, it just doesn’t sit right with me to deny basic shit over origin. My opinion is largely meaningless, I know.

    But I think we have much bigger problems, and the influx of people from climate torn regions will keep increasing. As a country, we used these places to get a leg up, no wonder people want to come here.

        Tbf, there’s already places here that are nearly inhabitable. I’d imagine, overtime, people would naturally fall into what’s more comfortable over time, and we can try to live better lives by not making such a mess of things in the future. Big ask for people. I dont know the answers, I just know what I can live with.

          So what can ‘you live with’? Ruining the standard of living for the 330 million people already here?

            I haven’t personally been negatively affected. In fact, the little experience I have had in my personal life with illegal immigrants has been enriching. I worked with a guy who was just the sweetest man, with 3 kids and a wife. He worked hard and I had love for him. That’s all.

            Illegal immigrants haven’t done anything against you. If anything, they’ve picked a ton of your food on farms and built a lot of your houses and stuff for cheap.
