Applying "illegal" to someone who is in your country without __papers please__, is just so astonishing to me.

Why on earth do you give a shit who lives where in the world? I've immigrated to the US, legally, gone through all the paperwork and expenses. I don't give a fuck if "illegal" immigrants exist.

I will continue to advocate for them and vote for policies that keep them safe.

Illegal immigrants do not have lawful ways to find a job. They will either get abused in one way or another, or they will start looking at illegal activities to survive (ie, drug dealing).

Encouraging illegal immigration - like you are suggesting by enabling them to come to San Francisco - not only is dangerous for the community but it is first and foremost dangerous for those people who come here thinking it's paradise on earth and end up being taken advantage of.

You are irresponsible. There are reasons why there are lawful ways to immigrate, it is not a game.

Maybe then make it legal for them to find a job?
