The problem is... some of us are ungrateful for our freedom. So we feel no issues with denying it to someone else.

Chris, you act as if there's not a single person in America that faces the same problems as those in Mexico or any other country do. We have people losing homes they've lived in all their lives due to the falling economy, yet they aren't selling off their daughters to make ends meet.
I have a friend who lived in the same house for 20 years, her husband not only had his own business but also worked another job, she drove a Lincoln, and life was grand...except that his job as a surveyor was pretty much brought to a halt when the economy started failing. They not only lost their house, but their car and his business barely is surviving. Now they are renting.....something they've not done in the 23 years they've been married.
However, their 22 year old daughter hasn't once had to go sell herself to pay the bills. Their 18 year old son isn't dealing drugs because they feel he has no choice if they want to eat.
We trust that God takes care of us as He does the sparrow, but He can't take care of the Mexicans unless they come to America illegally? That's not denying someone freedom. If they want to come, come, but do it legally. It's no different than in any other country.
