I like your presumption that I'm saying things which I'm not. But obviously some of Mexico is filth and starvation if Mexicans are willing to go to the US to be second-class citizens with barely even basic human rights just to eat.

They are not free to steal from other people if they can get jobs, no. And apparently they can get jobs in the US and survive on them.

I'd also appreciate it if you could dig up some numbers on % of GNP that the US and various other first-world countries spend. Percentage spent matters more to me than amount spent.

What I like is your opinion that what the EU and Denmark do about UN payments and so forth make whatever the US does A-OK. "Someone else did it, so it's okay for us to!" is not a valid argument. As you say yourself, it's entirely besides the point and apparently nothing but a pointless attack on Denmark and Europe in general.

And no, we cannot magically make their life as good as ours, but what we CAN do is to stop exploiting them and destabilizing their countries so that they'll actually have a chance of improving. You should, maybe, stop making assumptions about my viewpoints and thoughts when I haven't stated them.

I also never said you were not allowed to kick out ones found living there illegally, however that is not the solution to a greater problem. The greater problem is that they are, essentially, being invited there by your businesses even though your state is trying to kick them out. The people exacerbating the problem are not the Mexicans themselves, it's the businessmen and certain politicians. Hate them, fine them, penalize them, and you're closer to solving your problem than any big wall and amount of KOS orders will get you.

We have our illegal immigrants, too, but we must be doing something right because considering how much Americans complain about Mexican illegal workers, you've got a much bigger problem than us. Maybe you should look at how we do it, there's more to it than just closing our borders and hoping they'll go away.

EDIT: Short version, I'm not saying the illegal immigrants are not, to some extent, causing problems, but that you're looking too much at curing the symptoms and ignoring some of the causes which are right at home among your own God-fearing Americans.
