I don't think most people understand what all is involved in coming here, that not everyone can just get in a plane or bus or something and just magically end up in America or Germany or wherever.

Even as someone in favor of allowing everyone equal access and opportunity, I greatly misunderstood the dangers of coming here and how complex the process of coming into the country legally is.

Some people can be shitty people, but many just aren't informed of the facts. If you just take everyone as a bad person from the start, we just fight. We can calmly share facts and stories of what is really going on, and hopefully people will be receptive and their opinions can change. I feel most people are lied to about immigration or just uninformed all together.
