My mother came from Romiana to escape prostution. She came here in order to have a better life.

I think its somewhat selfish to say that some people don't have the right to live here when its okay for your relatives to come here.

and its not like the US puts alot of money into helping these countries get better at such. They rather go blow up Iraq.
You mean other than the fact that they could come here LEGALLY but decide not to.. hm.... makes sense.
