How an undocumented immigrant from Mexico became a star at Goldman Sachs
An undocumented immigrant? So she was legally in the country, but with paperwork incomplete? Or a refugee?<p>Oh no, they mean illegal immigrant - in this case, someone who violated the law to make more money. Got it.<p>Every time I see the term &quot;undocumented immigrant&quot; I am horrified at how easily people will thoughtlessly toss away the rule of law to serve their own self-indulgent empathy.<p>Mexico today has more GDP&#x2F;capita than New Zealand did in 1990. There&#x27;s no justification for encouraging the human trafficking and dangerous cross-desert trips (often ending in death or rape or robbery) this way. Immigration should be orderly and safe.<p>If someone wants everybody on Earth to have free access to America, they should campaign to make that the law, and face the real consequences. This &quot;let it be illegal but keep the border-jumpers as our empathy pets&quot; stuff is self-indulgent and self-defeating on so many levels. Ugh.
