Again, when your children are hungry, you don't exactly have the luxury of debating "ethical acceptability." For me, illegal immigration is a bit deeper than a simple is it "right" or is it "wrong" equation. I think it would be helpful to get to know actual flesh and blood illegal immigrants, live among them and see what they have to endure. Is Robin Hood the same as the Enron executives who swindled millions? Or, does motive, intent matter? If stealing is stealing is stealing, then Robin Hood and Al Capone are no different.

Robin Hood and Al Capone are different if you want to present your argument from an ethical standpoint. However, if we are talking about the law there is no difference because stealing is stealing. To act as though you're the only one who feels empathy for those born into poverty is absurd. You also act as though hardworking, trustworthy Mexicans are the only people that want to come into this country illegaly. You fail to mention the gangsters and the drug lords that come in, along with terrorists.
