How can illegal aliens prove they are on a path to legalize their immigration status?

[Brother Hesekiel 2,236]

People starting their 'path to citizenship' by swimming the border and living by forged documents are automatically people of bad character who are banned from citizenship anyway. So they can never be on a path to citizenship.

Bad character. Okay.

How about politicians who send hundred thousands Americans straight into the hell of Iraq or Afghanistan to die, in order to serve their masters, the corporate war lords?

Is that good moral character?

How about corporations who have sent tens of millions (maybe over a hundred million) jobs overseas to China, India, Bangladesh, and thus have created the alarming rate of unemployed in the U.S.?

Is that good moral character?

How about Walls Street's kings, who have played the market and created the whole sub-prime mortgage industry which is responsible for millions, tens of millions of Americans to lose their homes?

Is that good moral character?

This is not a black-and-white world. As somebody who studied "morals" (Ethics, actually) let me tell you that even morals depend on the viewers' perspective. What's more immoral: crossing a border without permission to feed one's children, or letting one's children starve to death in order to prevent crossing border without authorization. If you have time, one day, read's Immanual Kant's Categorical Imperative. It's easy to throw stones, for any of us, but sometimes trying to view an issue from either a distance or from the opposite view can be a revelation.

Listen, I'm not pro illegal immigration, not even by a long shot, but I understand that not everybody who came here from Mexico without a visa is a human ####### roach that should be trampled to death for the immorality of trying to escape hell in exchange for a better life that is actually hell compared to how "we" live.

illegal immigrant. Key words there. If a citizen murders someone, he's a murderer. If someone comes into this country illegally they are an illegal and therefore a criminal.
