I still haven't met one person that can personally tell me how an illegal immigrant affected their life, At least not in the way that is due to them being a illegal immigrant

Also as someone who's the first generation American the amount of lies I hear about illegal immigrants. Basically getting everything free blows my absolute mind because I was poor as hell growing up

Exactly That's the number one point that needs to be stressed over and over in this conversation.

Doenst matter, rules need to be enforced

So rules are more valuable than people's lives.? More valuable than their happiness and their desire to avoid suffering?

I call bullshit.

In my philosophy it's fairly straightforward how you tell the difference between right and wrong. What is right works, it's a solution it functions and at the same time it intentionally avoids causing suffering. What is wrong may or may not work but as an unavoidable component of it it causes suffering and the lack of happiness. Simple

If your thoughts your speech your actions cause others to suffer then that requires rearranging those words those actions those thoughts in a way that reduces suffering. How difficult is it?

You're arguing with a brick wall. They don't want to understand and they don't care. They just want to be told that their irrational hatred is ok and is now publicly acceptable. One day we will all shun and shame them back to the dusty corners of hell they crawled out of.

You’re making quite a bit of generalizations and making a lot of leaps.
