'In What Way Am I a Criminal?'

By Alvaro Vargas Llosa
TCS Daily

This is what some say about our immigration problem. Mr. Llosa seems to allow his emotion to overwhelm his good judgment, morality, and sense of justice. He forgets that this issue doesn't only concern the illegal immigrants but all who are affected by them, including national security and the justice system. A thief is a thief whether he is rich or poor. A con artist is a con artist whether he is wealthy or destitute. The appropriate solution is not to make a hero out of him because of what he might have gone through to become one.
