Your ad hominem is useless against me.

Iâ(TM)m Mexican. Iâ(TM)m from Chiapas, the poorest state in Mexico, next to Guatemala. Which by the way is also affected by illegal immigration.

Are you claiming to be from Central America? Letâ(TM)s debate then, honestly, for all Americans to see your deception.

Bring it on.

Not only the travel thousands of miles. They cross two or three countries which are fine enough to protect them, as they have in the past. They also pay thousands of dollars to a smuggler. And all that to break the law in the country of their choosing.

Make no mistake. These are not desperate people. They are people taking advantage of YOUR weakness.

There are so many things wrong with your post:

* you assume they have nowhere to go inside their own country
* also assume there’s nowhere to go in the next two or three countries the go through
* you assume all illegal aliens are people fleeing from gang violence when actually those illegal aliens include gang members!
* the law doesn’t get suspended just because you feel bad
* the US or any other country has no capacity to receive anyone that feels threatened. That’s why there are rules around asylum and refuge.

If you don’t see something it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It also doesn’t mean others are conspiracy theorists.

Illegal immigration is wrong in so many ways. It is indefensible. Make no mistake: illegal aliens are no decent people. Decent people do not sneak into other countries, avoiding authorities.

Illegal aliens are not asylum seekers or refugees. Do not conflate them.

Java was successful not because of its object system but because it was C-like and free of charge at a time when Smalltalk was very expensive. C++ is a mess, I doubt its SIMULA inspired object system had anything to do with its success. Python was only the sane alternative to Perl.

Ruby and Objective-C are the closest to Smalltalk and are very successful because of that.

I don't understand how you can extrapolate that to say that Smalltalk's object system failed. Even more so when the OP's idea of ruling the world is not limited to how successful a language is due to its object system, but how influential it has been the last 30+ years.

We are still catching up with the past.

P. S. By the way, Java was so slow at the beginning that Sun Microsystems acquired Strongtalk (a statically typed Smalltalk) and the result of that was the HotSpot VM.
