With these responses, and lack of discussion of "backup plans" for said DREAMers, these highly profitable multi-national corporations are saying the same thing.
Where is our collective outrage?
I did not argue a zero-sum game, this is a cooked book. There will always be losers until that is fixed, and this is more redistribution. At least according to my understanding of general trends.
As for the crime, it is the enforcement, not the act. You are arguing for not having a clear code of laws. I am arguing for the opposite, and for the revision of said laws as deemed necessary by the citizens. Without law, we cannot hold individual nor government accountable.
MAPS has a goal of 2021 for prescription.
>MAPS is undertaking a roughly $25 million plan to make MDMA into a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved prescription medicine by 2021.
What was your example again? You keep referring to it, but I can't find it in the comments, which makes i thard to see how your point applies equally.
> I think you're engaging in the typical hacker news out-of-context nit-pickery.
I think you dislike looking at your slippery slope.
>I am not suggesting that illegal immigrants do well because they are criminals. I suggest they do well because they make sensible, long-term choices to build themselves a better future,
At the expense of citizens.
>...and that people who want to do that and are willing to work hard within a society are a benefit to that society.
You are assuming that illegal immigrants will share both qualities, though the actions prove only one half of that.
No crime is a sensible investment, if you get caught.
>The evidence indicates otherwise. Non-criminals typically do better.
So illegal immigrants, criminals if you will, would do worse.
You have taken a crime, and made generalizations about the perpetrators, because at least a percentage of them 'mean well.' Would you at least agree that not every illegal immigrant has a desire to become a contributing part of the county they are entering?
Does this fall under the banner of 'use the internet to help kill people'? Your facetious post and response seem to imply that you had something more specific in mind, or perhaps something by a specific group.
Or do we want to ignore all of the sites facilitating prostitution, human trafficking's BFF?

Illegal immigrants are not citizens.
Or were you talking about the coyotes with US citizenship? Most wouldn't call that civil disobedience.
A skilled thief could be described exactly as you have described an illegal immigrant. Plans ahead, "invests" in their own future, able to "prosper" with minimal assistance from the state. (In fact, assistance is explicitly avoided at times, it would complicate matters...)
Taking this further down the absurdity rabbit-hole, one could even suggest that a non-criminal lacks the necessary traits to succeed - companies should show preferential treatment to criminals, or at least certain types of criminals. (Who decides this? Also, in before white collar criminals.)
A lot could be said about the positive attributes of serial killers, if we want to go hyperbolic.
Microsoft is a large, multi-national corporation. What better way to say "We still support these people" than, where possible, helping to relocate them to an office in their country of origin? Not every country, or city, has a Microsoft office, but Microsoft isn't exclusively in Redmond, either.
This issue should not be simplified to "You have to go back." Even if it were, that would still leave a lot of creative solutions for how Microsoft (and other large, wealthy corporations) could take care of the employees they claim to care so much about, regardless of where they live.
