Most people who migrate to the US Illegally are doing it for survival purposes. This is something, of course, that most of us US Born citizens cannot relate to.

Its difficult for me to understand certain opinions and viewpoints toward this subject, but I have to remind myself that all of our viewpoints/opinions are based on a combination of knowledge and experience. Until you are put in a survival situation, you cannot be sure of what you might do. Many illegal immigrants come here to feed their families and aren't breaking any laws at all.<br><br>Many people come here to work and seek a better life, some come here to obtain an education, some may come here to deal drugs, some may come here smuggling people into the US, and some may even come here to simply be unproductive criminals.<br><br>In my opinion, Napolitano does have to have some kind of plan or strategy for battling immigration issues. A comment was made about "catering to people who break the law." We are far from catering to people who break the law. I know many families who are separated due to are strict laws. There are people who are brought to the US very young. They know nothing about Mexican life. They know English as we do, they received an education here in the US, and they've simply been raised as a US Citizen, and many are taking the stance to send people like this back "HOME." "Home" for people in these situations is the US. They know nothing about the Mexican life and how to live it.

On that note, just because it's not called the Gestapo doesn't mean the TSA isn't the foundation of a similar organization.
