It was their choice to come to this country illegally. It is their choice to send money home. The burden of feeding families alien to this country falls on their country of origin, not on citizens of the USA.
Everybody who wants to support an illegal alien's family should voluntarily send them money. Please don't send them MY money.
I have little doubt that if I grew-up in the conditions those folks face I would do the same as they do -- come to the USA for a job. Acknowledging their circumstances doesn't require that I embrace their solution. Nor does deporting them mean I am contemptuous of them.
There are hard choices in life. Few Americans are aware of them.
