Defining Differences....

Firstly, our system is not perfect, but it is in no way comparable to the lack of public services provided by the original countries of asylum seekers.

Secondly, some of these people are running from governments who may potentially kill them (ie hitsquads in brazil and argentina), gang violence, and famine.

Think of the large amount of polish immigrants, irish immigrants, russian immigrants, and african immigrants. These mass immigrations were all due to either famine, war, or unsafe living environments. Many of them were undocumented or had not applied for visas/citizenship. However, they were accepted with open arms. That is why the Statue of Liberty sits on ellis island. This is where many immigrants were processed and welcomed. So, why should we turn them away now? There is no difference between them, and I guarantee someone up your ancestral tree came here as an “illegal” immigrant too.

Go fuck yourself you immoral piece of shit. Hope you sleep well at night by pushing away starving children and there mothers because they dont have the right papers or because “we have enough problems as it is”.
