Shoot, as long as they work and provide a decent service, how much better could that be than these entitlement folks who are indeed citizens but expect to live off the fruits of the labor of others without lifting a finger themselves...

Thinking out loud here (and wondering why some of you are so pissed off). I'd like for them to be at least legal also... but then again I'd be for ending entitlement programs for those who can work but refuse to...

Yes, they are working.
No, they are not paying taxes.
Yes, some illegals are also criminals in their own country.
They are here ILLEGALLY.....What part of ILLEGAL don't you get?
I don't mind if they come here but do it LEGALLY. My great-grandparents didn't hop over any fences to get here!

At a cost of 68 billion dollars a year to the taxpayers of this country, I consider that an enormous issue.
Also consider the majority population of our prisons are illegals.
And, 240,000 sex crimes committed on our citizens by over 1 million sex offenders who are here illegally.
I consider it an issue of great proportion and something needs to be done to stop it.

If they waited so long (their whole lives), to come here, to US, surely they can wait an additional couple of months or so to make it legal. And if they want to give their families better lives, they shouldn't endanger them by illegally crossing the border.
