Chris you and have been here for a good few years now, and you are correct I recall your stance on this some while back. I can understand why the practice of illeagal immigration may be a no no to you, well sort of, but help me to understand the reasoning behind it.
Is it the leagality of the situation? The avoidance of payinging into the sociaety that you move into? Would you say that allowing free movment of all peoples where they will and obediacne to the law of whatever land you find yourself in may change your stance?
