When you are ready to take illegal aliens into your house, pay their insurance, and support them in various monetary and non-monetary ways until they are fully self-supporting citizens who are in no way subsidized by the government, then you will have credibility in my eyes. (This includes no Section 8 housing, food stamps, etc.)

When you are ready to go to the border, and let one or more illegal aliens into your car, and into your house, and into your lives, and support them financially, then your opposition of the minutemen will make sense.

Otherwise, you are just blowing smoke. You are saying. "Let anyone into this country, but I'm not going to deal with it. Someone else should deal with it."

Maybe you will say you are dealing with the needs of illegal aliens by making donations of time or money to organizations aiding illegal aliens.

But that's not really dealing with the total needs of illegal aliens. That's paying lip service. You aren't taking full responsibility for helping these people cross the border. You're just making feel-good donations.

Instead, I want to see you take real, direct complete responsibility for illegal aliens you are struggling to allow into this country.

There is a saying: With ham and eggs,the chicken made a donation, but the pig has made a COMMITMENT.

Going down to the border for quick adventure facing off the minutemen is not solving the problem of supporting the illegal aliens. It is simply a case of your going to the border for a romantic jolt of energy that makes you feel noble, but then not having to take responsibility for the repercussions. Actually, it is a form of escapism.

Are you courageous enough to acknowledge the sense of what I am saying? I am guessing that you aren't yet able to be so honest with yourself.
