Choice Theory

I’m babysitting today for the kids of a friend who has been illegally in the country for 15 years. The entire time I’ve known her I’ve begged her to get legalized. Or to go home. But it is all part of a bizarre relationship she has with the father of her children. Like for a very large percentage of illegal immigrants, it would have been the greatest mercy and the most wonderful thing if somebody had sent her back home to Canada when she first started on this illegal journey. She’s now 34, completely dependent on this absolute douche of her boyfriend who owns her like a slave master. The moment she misbehaves, he’ll shop her out to ICE and find a newer version of her to cook and clean for him. And he’ll keep the kids, of course.

People’s brains are infected with choice theory and they honestly think that every illegal in the country is benefitting from being here.
