I get your point, and that's not what I meant. I've been to about half of your United States in my 64 years, and not once, outside of LEOs and at a range, have I seen firearms casually carried around. In Honduras, yes. So...lotta guns, lotta bad people with guns. No comparison to American society.

My being the son of an illegal is secondary. What is important is for the OP to examine what the circumstances are that have led people to leave their homes in the first place. And why it might be out of their hands to do anything about them. I've been to Honduras. Lotta guns.

I suppose it's not like the rest of us have fo start from scratch eh ? I was 19 when I left home to make a life for myself, without anyone's help. So what then makes your plight better than mine? The amount of media you will get vs me because your father was an illegal immigrant as you stated. Dont get me started on the hand outs galore for those who do immigrate legally, still putting everyone else forward but their own natural born citizens here in this country. That doesnt mean anything about colour either, if you were born here, good luck getting anything from the government but if you immigrated here, well you're in luck buddy heres a free education paid for by me among other things.
What does a lotta guns have to do with it.
The problem is more likely a lotta bad people.

I don't know about you, but that doesn't look like women and children to me, that sure does look like a lot, and I mean a lot of able bodied (young) men!

Why "can live next to me" ?
Why not "can live with me in my house with my own family" ?
Oh I know... That would be inconvenient...

Because America is worth it and we have plenty of room and that's what we do, that's why.
Somebody posted a bunch of information and articles that were researched on Honduran news and social media sites, and the word is a lot of these "migrants" are running from the law. They are criminals and some are wanted by Honduran authorities. It's impossible to know for sure without names and a lot of these people headed this way have ZERO documentation.
