Hey, I edited my comment before I saw that you had responded. I'm actually going to school for Spanish and my dream is to be an immigration lawyer and help people get here, even if they originally came in illegally. Some people are desperate to get out of their bad situations and I believe they deserve a chance at a decent life, so I'm totally not against your opinion. You just won't help the situation by tossing insults at people. Instead, I try to show people kindness. Sometimes you just can't get through to people (lord knows that a lot of my family is racist and homophobic and hate anything other than Catholics and baptists), and it isn't worth your energy, but it just isn't productive to immediately hurl insults. I just wouldn't say anything at all at that point because you can't change their mind anyway, why waste the energy and anger?
