Given the laws regarding deportation and the other potential dangers facing illegal immigrants it makes me wonder how desperate some people must be to risk such things. Sat in our warm cosy little worlds I think it is difficult to imagine the desperation people must feel when faced with a survival level decision. I am pretty sure that, for most at least, it is not financial aspirations but pure desperation that drives them to up sticks and risk everything. Class equality should know no national boundaries and give all the people of the world the same opportunities. I do know it is pie in the sky to even hope for that but true socialism is international and to define socialism as purely in the context of your own nation is national socialism. We all know how that ended...
