>I am all for following the law, but I would break the law of another country if it would allow me to find a better job and make enough money to raise my family's standard of living.

I would not. Breaking the law- especially of a country I'm hoping will take me in and treat me as one of its own- is not made okay just because it makes things easier for me. That's an extremely selfish and entitled sort of attitude, and we have far to many people in this country already who think they can do as they please, law or not, if it suits them.

I am, of course, lucky enough that I doubt I'll ever find myself in such a situation, but I'd like to think that if I saw a neighboring country where the standard of living was much better I would work hard to get there through the proper channels or work hard to change conditions in my own country.
