An illegal immigrant assisted a boy involved in an accident with his mother. The mother later died. I'm glad that he had the human compassion to help, and the story DOES serve as a reminder not to demonize all illegal immigrants. To my mind, "demonizing" is when you paint someone as being all bad or evil for some reason or another. I would like to think that most people who argue that the government should do something about illegal immigration are NOT "anti-Mexican" per se. Maybe they don't want their culture eroded. Maybe they don't want an influx of people without health checks from a place where TB is rampant. Maybe they're just plain old concerned with border safety or American economics. But I don't think most people "demonize" illegal immigrants.
However, I disagree with the notion that they are all not criminal. You know, because it's a crime to come in the country illegally. That makes it a *criminal* activity, and "one who commits crimes" ought to be considered a criminal. (WOW, I went through four whole years of college, so I can make these logical deductions!!)
