"I want my mom to stay with me in the U.S.," he told The Associated Press on Monday in between informal meetings with Mexican lawmakers.
Then she shouldn't have sneaked past the U.S. immigration system and broken the law.
I feel no sorrow. My mother was an immigrant. She did it the right way though, lawfully, and we never had any problems.

I am not exactly sure what you're a saying here.... Batman? (I did get the Batman joke)You did deserve it... I am going to assume you where either born in Germany or you later became a German citizen. I am also going to assume that you work and or pay taxes. Therefore, you do deserve the rights/privileges the a German citizenship affords you in your own country.
No country can allow a blatant open door policy, it would wreck havoc on the country's economics. Germany like any other country has laws and rules for non-Germans wanting citizenship and non-Germans need to follow those laws and go through the processes.
It seems you did not.
No, sorry, being born in some place does not equal deserving somethin. I didn't do shit and I live a much better live that some African boy that's dying of hunger. This is why I think everyone should have the same right as I do, which is living and working (if they can find a job) in Germany.
But you did 'do shit.' You paid your taxes, gave back to your community, some in your country even served in the military and maybe died. Why should you, who have sacrificed for the country, be told that you can walk in, after having contributed nothing, and be privvy to all the benefits the country affords to those who have?

I didn't pay taxes. I got all the advantages for twenty years, I even got a good education, I am a ****ing parasite. Unlike immigrants who come here and actually work and would pay taxes.
You don't pay taxes? Are you a minor? If you're in school then your government is making an investment in you. The more education their citizens get the more competitive they will be in the world market and the more money they will make. A person who leaves high school at 18 and joins the workforce is worth less to society than one who stays in school and becomes a doctor at 28, for example.

Yes, I know that. But why do I have more right or deserve it more to have this chances than an immigrant?

Why? Do you know why those walls are even up in the first place? Do you have a solution for the problems created by unchecked immigration?
Because there is no just reason to discriminate against people that want to live somewhere. Why does Immigration have to be fascist as well? I mean we already have laws in place all people have to stick to, why do we need more for people that were not so lucky as to be born in lets say Germany or the US?
Meh. Illegal immigration has both positive and negative effects. According to the New York Times "the estimated seven million or so illegal immigrant workers in the United States are now providing the system with a subsidy of as much as $7 billion a year....Moreover, the money paid by illegal immigrants and their employers is factored into all the Social Security Administration's projections." i.e. paying towards benefits they will likely never receive. They do the jobs that most natural born citizens won't touch with a ten-foot clown pole for dirt wages, below the already historically low minimum wage.

So you see no point in securing our borders? From terrorists, drug traffickers, no one?
Hmm, nope. No. Drugs should be legal anyways. And terrorists. Minor thread. Would probably get better if the policies of some of the western countries wouldn't be as fascist as they are anyways.
