I am as guilty as the next guy, probably more so, of being a very outspoken advocate for immigration, but against illegal immigration. I received an email from my mother today, and it only included this site. No note or anything. So I HAD to see what it was she so obviously wanted me to see. I went, and read every word, and realized that after all of my posturing, and all of my financial losses due to the illegal immigration problem (And we're speaking well over 6 figures here, people), I am still one of the most priveledged people on the face of the Earth, and anyone lucky enough to read this post, can probably join me in rejoicing in that fact. I wish to change no one's opinion. I only wish you to go to this site, read this, and take a second to thank your God that you were able to do so, and maybe come away just a little humbled from the experience. Those in here that know me, know I don't humble easily.
Semper Fidelis

Yes, I agree, we do have more than a lot of people in this world, however, we are not the world here in the USA. We are not divided in the same way as the statistics this website show. Also, if we had not fought for our rights and freedoms, if we had let criminals go un-punished, if we allowed lawlessness, anarchy would rule and we would be like some of the third world countries this website speaks of. We cannot change the world. We can only maintain what we have worked, struggled, labored and fought for. We can only protect what we have. Many third world countries are poor to our standards, yet they have been that way for millions of years, they will survive, as they always have. Their mortality rate has always been worse than ours, we can't change that. All things can never be equal. There will always be levels and classes of people. No two things are exactly alike. There will always be somebody richer, poorer, blacker, whiter, taller, shorter, prettier, stronger, weaker, healthier, smarter, dumber, wittier, sadder, happier and braver. When the line gets close there will always be something there to break the tie. Someone will be the top person, but he will be alone.

Most Americans will never see six figures, and live as impoverished citizens with no hope. So, if you are so blessed, please by all means help your fellow man, just make sure he is not conning you. Like the criminals trying to call themselves immigrants in America. Most immigrants that come here through the proper process, come from nations that little to no wealth, and abuse their citizens in ways like what we see in Iraq. This is not the case for the illegals of this country that are in mass majority Mexicans.
The crimes these immigrants suffer through at the hands of their own countries is horrible, yet they still migrate here legally. It is not money that they come for. It is the voice they have will have in the country they choose to live in. Mexico one of the largest offenders of illegals is the world's third richest nation. I've been told by the illegals that just because their country is rich doesn't mean the people are. Sounds like the same arguement Americans have been saying for about forty years now. If you want to help a real immigrant, not some criminal trying to hide under the skirts of immigrants, then please by all means do so. But, first you should now that out of the 20 mil illegals in our country, only 3% come from truly impoverished countries. The rest come from Mexico, and the Mexican economy is in better shape than the American economy. Why? Because our country is supporting millions of their criminals..

i really do wish us as people on Gods beautiful earth could change things if we as a whole would do what God told us to do none of us would have anything to need or want for but the truth is we are in a struggle for survival here and its our country that is under attack from a country just across our borders and if we dont stand up and defend our borders there wont be an america left to have these freedoms we have in this country

Interesting site of statistics, but I don't really see how it applies to illegal aliens, especially in this age of terrorism. Our sovereign borders are one of the things that allows us to continue to be blessed and to be the greatest country in the world. Immigration? Sure. Illegal Aliens? No way.

We can all learn something about most every subject that can affect the way we see the world,,, you have a good mother, and apparently she wants what is best for you,, to open your eyes a little wider and see the world as the "big picture",, not just a narrow viewpoint,, I am impressed with your ability to see, not just with your eyes, but your heart as well.

So what is your point? That we Americans are blessed, I already know that and that's why I prefer legal immigration because I want to keep it that way.
