Would you break the law to feed your starving children?

Great question. "Would you break the law to feed your starving children?".

My answer is yes.

I just read your additional comments. I hope that you'll continue to move forward in a positive way. Take care.

Let's see.... Who forced you to have the kids...
Why ask some other person to support your kids ??
Weren't you smart enought to use birth control methods ??
I bet you still are playing around and not taking any birth control pills etc..
You blame your childern..How about an education... Course the children might have caused you not to continue your education..

Well, I would also like to make sure that my children have the money from THEIR government to have decent schools, properly funded government programs to assist them if they need it, and for them not to have to pay for someone else that isn't paying into the system, but using the benefits. I have NO problem with anyone coming into this country, just so long as they follow the proper channels and do it the legal way. No ride is free - they need to pay for the programs they use by paying income tax (that is for the benefit of all you yahoos that state illegal immigrants pay taxes when they buy things).

I agree 100% People are so lucky they don't have to deal with this..but others do and we should help them instead of complaining..

Especially if no one stopped me! If my Government starved my family my brothers and I would over throw the government!

First of all, people have the wrong idea about poverty in Mexico. Poverty is a question of priorities and how poverty is measured in certain countries. The money and time invested in religious celebrations is enormous, Mexico has more holidays than any other country in the world. People do have very little, but to save all year long for a rural 3-day celebration for some saint that was invented to substitute pre-colonial pagan gods, is not what would be called poverty. The culture has maintained Mexico in poverty,
and to get a better picture about Mexico, try reading the Nobel Prize in Literature, Octavio Paz.
The statistics show, that most illegals were employed before leaving the country, there are other motives other than starvation, some are also to evade the Mexican law. Look right now, the Miners Union Leader has fled to Canada evading the Mexican law for his possible responsability in the death of miners. Instead of facing the law, he chose to flee, and don't tell me it is because of starvation. And there are many cases, that don't go public. Not all 12 million are because of starvation. You are just giving an example you can't prove.

If I broke the law, I would expect to suffer the consequences if caught.

Here in the United States, since schools are funded by property taxes, primarily, some schools are better than others. If someone sneaks their child into a better school, pretending to live in that district and using fraudulent documentation, they may get away with it for a while. As soon as they are found out, however, they are booted out, mid year or not.

I wouldn't have children that I couldn't afford to feed.

I'd say you need to get a d@mn backbone and grow a f--king garden, raise some chickens and pigs, to feed your family!! Keep your legs together and don't have any more mouths to feed if you can't feed the ones you have!! THE HARD WORKING AMERICANS BUILT THE USA BY WORKING IN FIELDS WITH MULES, DRAWING WATER FROM WELLS OR SPRINGS, RAISING ANIMALS, GARDENS, WORKING TILL THEIR FINGERS BLED!! WHY CAN'T 'BEANERS' BUILD THEIR COUNTRY THE SAME WAY?? OH!! They must be FU-KING LAZY!!

Do you think for one minute an American would be excused for stealing food from a store to feed his family? HELL NO!! ILLEGAL is ILLEGAL!!

Nuke Lefties

I would do anything to protect my children. That doesn't mean that society must accept my actions! Get legal, learn English, assimilate or get the hell out of my country.

WHERE IS THE MALICIOUSNESS, WHERE IS THE WICKEDNESS IN MY ACTIONS

Nobody Ever Said What You Did Was Wicked Or Malicious
What You Did Was Against The Law
And When You Get Caught Breaking The Law You Pay For It

We Are Told That We have to try to empathize with those
that are simply trying to make a living
for themselves and their families.
We need to be understanding and humane
when dealing with a population
That finds itself in a situation
where it must break our laws
to better their own situations.

Well, then what about the poor young man
who grows up in the inner city?
All that he knows is the drug culture.
He has no marketable skills
as a result of an education system that has failed him.
(OVERCROWDED SCHOOLS)
He spends every day immersed in a culture
of drugs and violence,
to the point that that is the only life that he knows.
He finds himself with a family to support
and no way to support it.
The only alternative for him is to resort to breaking our laws.
He must deal drugs(FOR INSTANCE) just to get by.

Shouldn't we take a "humane" and "comprehensive" approach
to dealing with this type of criminal, as well?
After all, he is only breaking our laws
because he feels that he must do so in order to make a living.
He wouldnâ€™t be able to sell drugs
if there wasn't such a huge market
for his poison in the United States.
Individuals that turn to dealing drugs
are many times just as desperate as those
that brave unbelievable conditions
to enter this country ILLEGALLY.
In fact, I would argue that a drug dealer braves
even MORE Real and Serious Dangers than
ILLEGAL Immigrants who canâ€™t seem to take the basic steps
to enter this country LEGALLY.

ILLEGAL ALIENS in America are here only because
they are GUILTY of CRIMINAL VIOLATION
of our FEDERAL LAWS, Jumping our borders
and living in a shadowy underground economy.
They are morally culpable for shoving aside
those who adhere to the law and enter
these United States in orderly and Legal Fashion.
Since when do criminals and cheaters receive
pride of place for the blessings of liberty,
over those honestly, earnestly and faithfully
seeking to become American citizens?

President Bush has called for a reasonable and civil debate
over the issues of border security and immigration reform.
But the American people understand
there can be no responsible immigration reform
UNTIL OUR BORDERS ARE SECURE.
â€œGuest workerâ€ amnesty programs
ARE NOT a part of border security.
Amnesty is not the answer.
To grant amnesty to these trespassers is to say
"You crossed our borders ILLEGALLY,
You BROKE OUR LAWS
and now we are REWARDING you with U.S. Citizenship --
Congratulations!"

This is unacceptable.

....I'm not reading all that..

But... that's why you not have kids when you don't have money..

See, when your not financially stable, having kids is the most irresponsible thing you could do...

Hope you've learned a valuable lesson in common sense..

--Rob

no one here

So, you have aided starving children in other countries, have you now? Or are you pretending to be something you are not? Be truthful now, man or woman.

akablackbetty

why have children if you cant feed them? if you cant feed them, dont breed them.

hexa

I have never seen one starving Mexican coming over the border even the women look pretty healthy, I have yet to see a wafer thin Mexican on the news or in the papers. I have not seen any that look like concentration camp victims, so I don't believe they are starving in Mexico and if they were, where is the Mexican government why would they let their people starve, where are all those humanitarian Mexicans that are standing by and letting their people starve shame on them.

Sashie

Presume you're talking about illegal Mexicans, since you're talking about hopping across the border .... well, Mexico is the 13th riches country in the world ... plenty of money there to spread a bit of happiness ... last times I checked there were plenty of jobs in Tijuana ... I'm sure the same is true for other cities too .... and if you insist of having a bevvy of children you can't support, I suggest you tie a knot on it ....

Hadenough

There has not been one case of starvation from the illegals who came here--not one report from any hospital. Nor did anyone hold a gun to them to come.
It wasn't survival but money-let sticks to the facts! They traded what few values they might have had for money.

sealRborders

NO,i would NOT!!!! I would NOT be having kids that i could not care for!!!! I would NOT expect "somone ELSE" to feed and clothe them!!! If you were REALLY thinking about your kids in the first place, you would not be HAVING them, if you couldn't care for them properly!!! Show some responsibility!!!

Is it a CRIME to sneak into the country?? YES!!!
IS it a CRIME to STEAL someone else's i.d.??? YES!!!!
Is it a CRIME to be draining our welfare system??? It SHOULD BE, for those of you who are NOT entitled to it!!!

newsgirlinos2

BUT......Would you plant a garden and tend it? Bring the water for 2 miles on your back to water it???? Looks like you would rather take the easy way out at the expense of others.

Nice can of worms got opened here.

Basically America is sick of all the begging. My parents came out of the Great Dust Bowl....immigrants in their own country. Turned away from towns as vagrants and gypsies. Finally, they made their way to Washington State and spent years picking fruit and working the fields, saving every penny for the promise of a better life. After many years my mom and dad opened a tiny rural grocery store and worked 18 hours a day, 7 days a week. Us kids worked in the store from age 6 or so. And as a family, we built a better life. That is what it means to be an American.

If you want a better life then use your hands to work not to beg for handouts.

I wouldn't think twice about it.

You are a retard! You shouldn't ask questions that just make you look like a dumb a$$!!

Sorry to offend you my friend, but sometimes the truth hurts. Maybe if mexicans kept their damn pants on they wouldn't have a bunch of little snot nosed brats running around. If they can't feed themselves why reproduce?? You may think I am harsh, but hello!! Take a look outside the box.
