1)Spend $10,000 to hire underwater welders to fix the leak in the hull of the ship.

2) Spend the $10,000 to accommodate the 80 people that smuggled their way on the ship with a room.

If the 80 people were the ones doing all the work preparing food and providing services to the other passengers, it would be a little foolish to throw them off the boat.

Your analogy doesn't work mostly because illegal immigrants don't just collect government benefits. They work, and work hard.

It's also hard to make that case that the ship is sinking, although I know that conservatives want to claim both that the US is in decline AND that the DOW is at an all time high because of Trump.

If those 80 were the only ones who knew how to weld underwater, and no one who was supposed to be on the ship could do it, then it's not really a choice. You have to let them stay, because otherwise everyone dies.



That's the situation in the U.S. The legal population is not able to keep our farms running well. Without illegals, the food rots before it can be harvested. Either we let them stay and "fix the leak" or it doesn't get fixed -- because no one else can do it.

Wow, that is one awful attempt at a false comparison, but I'd like to think that I'd spend that money to ensure that everyone on the ship was safe and taken care of, regardless of how they got aboard. Even if they smuggled their way onto the ship "with a room", whatever the flying f*** you imagine that means.

Probably hire a lawyer so I can sue the company for sending out a broken ship

Well, I wouldn't throw the 80 people overboard to drown, because I'm not a sociopath. I know that much.

last time I cruised I spent my time in a suite with 2 baths, kitchen, living room, bedroom and outside hot tub and 30-foot balcony. It happened to cost 10,000 for a week. It was fabulous

Fix the ship of course. No sense in having a nice room if you drown in it.

were, not was. Learn basic grammar so you don't look so stupid. Only a stupid person would think that 80 people could fit in one room.

Send S.O.S. to ask for assistance and evacuate the ship, as according to international sea laws, every vessel in reach is REQUIRED to come to help and save as many lives as possible. I'd rather sink the ship than let anyone drown. If someone can weld it, the better, but first things first.

you forgot Option #3.

KEEP the money as reparations for , for .............."something", and demand that some one else handle the other issues, with their time and money,

...........and then complain that the $10K wasn't enough for them and also at how the other issues were handled.
