With or without..?

I presume you meant with or without stowaway!

One can only sympathise with someone desperate enough to risk death to escape a country which has poverty, corruption, disease, neglect or slavery as a future.
Unfortunately, those of us who worry about a few dollars rise or fall in the price of barrels of crude oil affecting our bank balances are not without guilt, as some of the worse excesses of cruelty are found in the oil-producing regions.
So I think it a bit hypocritical to express concern over one man, when oil-rich nations corruptly kill thousands each year with our conivance.
