What would you do if..........??

Question

you lived in mexico and ur watching your kid starve because theres no jobs and u live in a crappy house. if ur wife gets sick how are you going to pay the medical bills??

Would u stay and live like that?? or would u go to the US illegally??

Answer 1

Well i probally would do the same but......

Id assimilate, learn the language some history and so on.

I definitely wouldn't fly a Mexican flag! that's the dirt-hole id be trying to get away from. I also wouldn't take to the streets demanding rights that i wouldn't have earned or deserve!

I wouldn't apply for any kind of social services Yes they exist

for illegals children. i also wouldn't be surprised if i got rounded up and sent back id know that was a possibility since i was breaking the law!

Bottom line id probally be better off doing things the right way ...the LEGAL way!

Answer 2

I wouldn't have children I couldn't afford.

To answer your make believe question, I'd take all that money I'd been saving for a coyote and feed my family in my own country. I wouldn't break the laws of another country.

I have yet to see a "starving" illegal by the way,most are morbidly obese.

Answer 3

If you can't feed them, then don't breed them.

I wouldnt have a kid or a wife or a crappy house.  I have more self respect or pride then to multiply my misery upon innocent others.

Whether it be a family I stupidly create that I can't support...........or the citizens of the USA.

Answer 4

There is a slang. Man has to do what he has to do to protect.

If I were you I will go to the other side of world to do it

Answer 5

Jobs in Mexico average $100 USD or less a week.  My mother in law has been teaching school for almost 35 years and she only makes the equivilant of $500 every 15 days...a person in the U.S. without a HS diploma can make a lot more than that.  The houses are square concrete buildings and the building materials are of low quality so they crumble.  Clothing of any quality here costs more than it does in the U.S.  Food costs less....if you like to eat unclean and bacteria filled food.  To buy the same quality food as you would get in the U.S. it costs roughly the same.  You can't even drink the water from the tap.  Electricity is more expensive, the phone service here is horrible...if it rains it likely won't work and is still more expensive here.  Education standards are less.  And the employment rate is 50%.  There are no jobs...that's why so many people stand in the street and try to wash your windows or sell gum for a peso.  How are you going to support your family with $100 dollars a week even if you don't have children.  I myself couldn't live single on $100 dollars a week!!!!!  If I was born a Mexican in Mexico....I would hop the border without giving it a second's though.  The quality of life here, even for the middle class is horrible.

Even the people with "good jobs and living average" have a very low quality of life.  The poorest people in the United States are like the middle class here.

Answer 6

I would move to another part of mexico, a part that had the employment opportunities that met my financial obligations. According to the PEW research center the vast majority of illegal aliens from mexico were gainfully employed before they decided to violate Americas sovereignty.

Answer 7

Too many of the "catch and release" law breakers suffer from preventable reasons for them being so desperate.  1. Dropped out of school, and have no job skills. 2. They have a criminal record and few honest people hire them.  3.  They want quick under the table cash and will break any laws necessary to maximize their income no matter who gets hurt in the process.

Why should America taxpayers feel sorry for their bad choices?  Why should we encourage them to make more?

Answer 8

I'm sure many illegal aliens have wonderful reasons for being here. Unfortunately when they sneak into the US they're aware what the consequences might be.

It's against the law and America is fed up with it.

Answer 9

So there is nothing else to do but become a criminal? DO NOT attempt to better your status legally, help your country improve, or anything like that! Become a criminal! Why not take up bank robbing or drug dealing? Because the a******s in congress are too soft hearted and headed to put a bite into illegal immigration?

Answer 10

What would I do if..........?? I'd get a job.

Answer 11

I'd apply to international organizations, religious charities, and foreign governments for help if I were beyond means of survival.  There are SO many groups globally that are available for those types of situations.  

Beyond that, I don't see that the U.S. would be that appealing...  grocery costs are going through the roof, health care is in a crisis here, and without insurance its nearly impossible to pay large medical bills.

Answer 12

NO, i would stay!!!  i wont use those weak excuses to justify breaking into another man country.

Answer 13

You need to link this.  You can do a Yahoo search on the economic conditions in Mexico, and you discover things are actually pretty good.  Mexico needs labor very badly, and they are actually importing labor from Guatemala and other Central American Countries.

If you could link your story, it would help a great deal.

Answer 14

I would go the U.S. illegally, work my butt off, keep my mouth shut, and would not march in the streets demanding immigration reform.
