Illegal Immigration- Yes or No?

Today in human geography class, we talked more about immigration, surprised? Immigrants come into the United States looking for sanctuary, job opportunities, family reunification, or just a better life. The view from Northern Mexico is we should show more empathy towards the illegal immigrants. The view from Southern Mexico agrees with the United States. We both don't think we should show as much empathy for the illegals because Southern Mexico has the same problem. Guatemalans are crossing the border into Southern Mexico in search for a better life style. The United States is split in half by believing if we should show empathy or not. It really doesn't seem like anyone is stuck in the middle. You either want illegal immigrants or you don't. That's the U.S. problem. In class we also talked about sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities are cities where illegal immigrants can be safe and not have ICE capture them as easily.
