    “In his country” suggests he’s an immigrant. This means he too, is an immigrant right? How does he resolve this hypocrisy?

    Duh, because he’s one of the good immigrants.

      To be fair, there are two different kinds of immigration: legal and illegal. Some (not all, but some) immigrants who came via the proper legal channels resent those who didn’t, and of those who feel that way, some feel that way for selfish “screw you, I got mine” reasons and others feel that way for genuine reasons, such as the fact that supporting illegal immigration is, to a certain extent, supporting the human trafficking and drug trafficking that goes hand-in-hand with it. Borders do serve a purpose and believing that illegal immigration should be curtailed isn’t necessarily a hypocritical position for an immigrant.

      HOWEVER, that isn’t to say that ICE is the answer.
