Did they own a travel agency?

I loved that show!

The whole chase scene on episode 1, with Fleetwood Mac's Tusk, is still one of my favourite things ever.

We call them "migrants." A person can't be illegal.

Did you read the article? They weren't migrants, they were spies.

I'm ok with people sneaking in to make money. I'm ok with people sneaking in to escape bad situations.

Don't pretend that spies aren't committing a crime in the country where they are spying.

Ultimately, spies are trying to make money too. Some spies have families to feed, although that is often discouraged.

That's ridiculous.

The spy's actual activities are criminal. They didn't come into the country to get a job working construction or to get an education or escape criminal activities at home. They came into the country to specifically violate the laws of the country.

If a hitman comes into a country to assassinate someone, it doesn't matter if they're doing it for money. They should be held accountable for the crimes they commit in the country.

Nah they are "illegal migrants". There are places you can go and some you can't and that applies to everyone. There's a wide gap between "compassion" and "free for all anything goes".
