Everyone is getting so close to the correct answer to the correct problem with all of this illegal immigration stuff. I'll explain the problem and solution.
The problem - people say, is that people with different ideas from our own can come into a given government and vote to change the rules. The solution then is that illegal immigration is bad.
The true problem is that there is a given government where you can vote to control other people at all. Do away with that and you did away with the problem. Then anyone can live anywhere they like so long as they do so without violating the will of others (not murdering, stealing, raping, or defrauding.)
Governments are and have always been the actual problem. This isn't complicated.
Look, you can live next door to me so long as you bought my neighbors house with their consent. If you try to attack me or my family in any way, I will defend myself. If you think my not believing in Allah is bad and you want to kill me, I will kill you in self defense. If you think it is bad but won't attack me and my family, we can coexist.
The problem is that if you can come here and usurp an already evil and corrupt system (all governments are this) and use that system to create a law saying that I should be killed because I do not believe in Allah, thus sending government thugs to my home to carry out that deed, that is a massive problem and the culprit is not only you for being evil, but the government for existing in a state in which an evil person can contribute to an evil act of such magnitude, through the hand of the state.
This isn't complicated.
I am only going to respond to you once and I will only address the food issue because there's other stuff I want to do with my evening than debate with someone so clearly firm in a position.
Are you familiar with the founding if the FDA in America? Its a very interesting story and if you're open minded enough I'd highly suggest you read The Poison Squad. Before the FDA was created businesses were adulterating their food products with dangerous substances (something that has happened throughout history) in order to make more money. One example is they were adding formaldehyde to milk so it could sit on the shelf longer without smelling spoiled.
Businesses don't care about producing a good product, they care about making more money and they will do that in every way they possibly can regardless of how many people it hurts or kills. You may say that "then those businesses will go out of business" but what if every possible option is doing it? What if you can't tell just from using it? (Good example is asbestos in talc powder). Regulations save lives.
I'm not trying to say governments are perfect but at least we, as citizens, get more of a say in what it does than we do with any company. That goes 10x for mega corporations who own entire supply lines or industries. I understand you have a problem with government corruption, as everyone should, but to pretend that corporate corruption isn't just as bad if not worse is fooling yourself.

Inchoate ideas, articulated incoherently. Yet implying the inclusion of an incessant ideology.
Just because I didn't type out a 30 page dissertation does not mean my ideas are inchoate. You sound like quite a pompous and arrogant person.
