I'm merely stating that when you work hard to do something the right way, seeing somebody get what you got by breaking the law is frustrating. It's human nature.

Those people aren’t “getting what you got” though. They’re getting a life on the run, living scared, trying to stay under the radar. Pretending like they’re getting anything even remotely similar to what legal immigrants get is ignorant and exactly what those that are in support of this bullshit want you to think.

Living on the run because they're breaking the law. Lots of people don't like when people break the law. But I'm just telling you what legal immigrants are likely to think and why they may support the deportation of illegal immigrants.

Certainly is, it must hurt even more when you put in all the effort to do things officially and jump through all the hoops and then they send you to an El Salvador torture camp anyway. Because that is what actually happens. They just slap some bogus charge on you if people complain about it, to make the deportation seem warranted.

I won't argue the merits of the current administration's methods. I haven't actually stated my beliefs. I'm just pointing out some reasoning that legal immigrants will definitely use in their internal calculations on what to support.
