i suspect you know nothing about being a foreigner who is poverty stricken.  these people risked their lives to try to "make it" and they knew what they were doing was illegal and risky.  But, that maybe the only hope they had.  Problem is, it is illegal.  No difference than drug dealers..  I am sure it's humbling to follow a drug dealer around too.  But, that is illegal and risky also.  If drug dealer gets killed by other dealers or police, i have no sympathy there either.
