angelaR, no it is not my intention, I am just trying to find out why some people are upset by that.

good point DAR. I am just tired of hearing people say that they are mad because so-and-so illegal Mexican was driving a nicer car, or dressed their kids nicer than they can.

No, because money ain't everything in life.

No it doesn't upset me. I'm happy for them. I know exactly what your talking about. Some people say they hurt the economy. Some say they help it they just trying to get a pork chop. Whats wrong with that I seen a lot of Mexican immigrants with nice cloths and a nice truck. They work hard. They don't have a lot of opportunities in Mexico so they come here. I hear a lot of people talking mess about them what are they suppose to do it's illegal for them to posses firearms and the ones who do have weapons are the government, police and drug dealers and most fall within the same category.

Yes, Mostly because they aren't putting money into our system. I have to pay Social Security taxes and Federal Tax. I think that the countries where the illegals are coming from should be better able to support it's own people so they won't want to escape. The Mexican people sending money back to their families. This money sent home is greater than the money generated by most of the industries in Mexico.

First of all, WE live in America. AMERICA this whole nation was built up on lies. The very people that live here are the ancestors of either poor migrants from Europe or forced slaves of some sort, so don't go giving up any anger over anything thats done here. The very money you all have in your pocket states that this is not OUR country to begin with. So I am not hatin on someone else getting their bread and feeding their families. CHILL OUT! At least some people other than the so-called majority are getting paid!

The person who should be upset is the US citizen, who despite all the opportunities (educational, higher standard of living, language, cultural knowledge) available to an individual born in this country, still falls short in comparison to an individual who comes here with access to none of those opportunities, and still outperforms the native-born person.
An illegal alien earning more money than a native US citizen just shows one that excellence is not any particular culture's birthright. And that is the real problem of America: Citizens thinking they are entitled to a particular station in life merely because they are born, and not due to any measure of exertion on their part.
Those who have every reason to excel, don't. And, those who have no reason to excel, do.
It's the human spirit and its scarcity or abundance, can be found in any society, in any race, in any culture. Good for them!

First of all, they should not even be allowed to work American jobs!!!!!Most of them if not all illegals do not pay taxes!!!!!I have not seen an illegal make more $$$ than me!!! The jobs I work on I guarantee you I am more qualified than an illegal that has NO EDUCATION!!!!! Yes, I would be pissed off and have run them off of jobs before because for one they are illegal, they don't have education and background, they do a piss poor job, and I am union 100% in ironwork and I have worked hard to get the pay I have!!!! I am not gonna stand by and let an illegal take my job away because they will work for less and no benefits!!!

I don't know any illegals who do make more. The only thing that would be upsetting is that they don't pay federal taxes. I wish they would try and get employed where I work, but criminals would never take the chance. I think they would fear the fingerprinting part...

No way, I feel proud and happy of their industrioness and inventiveness. I know a few of them that have created construction work businesses and specialized in areas that let them win more than 150 grand a year, they are providing a great service to the community, creating jobs and generating tax revenue.
