These fuckers clearly didn't. And yet you're arguing we're somehow doing something wrong by going after them?

This is a clear-cut case of fraud. I'll have you know I grew up in the southern US, I have many "illegal" friends I grew up with. You know what they did? Worked hard and found their own path. Hell, my "child of immigrants" mother actively denigrates Hispanics and I call her out when she does. Somehow I have a "fuck you, got mine" attitude?

The only fucker here is you, defending the idea that people who pay money to try and get into the US should be punished. Working hard and immigrating illegally are not mutually exclusive - nor does these students illegally coming here harm anyone whose already here.

They paid money to commit a crime. I don't see why we should allow those exhibiting moral turpitude inside our country. They could have found a legal, if not more arduous channel to enter legally. Instead, they are criminals.

If I am a fucker, you are a traitor to the country. Or, you're a foreign agent who needs to stow his opinions on our domestic policies.
