All immigrants are disliked by their predecessors. Newly arrived people tend to work harder for less money. Small business loves cheap labor. Big business which outsource see it as a threat, they are loosing the low labor edge that keeps their profits high.
The Argentinian walking across the New Mexico desert to get a job in a chicken plant in Alabama is really no different than your great whatever hopping a boat out of wherever your people came from 20 or so years ago.All immigrants are disliked by their predecessors.

Illegal is anything considered outside of the law. Some laws are wrong. Like prohibiton, they start with good intent, but sometimes the results are worse for the law. Same with slavery, dueling and indentured servitude. Well, the former is still in use by the US gov with military personnel who have been discharged but recalled for the oil wars.
Some of the illegals stay here part time and save their money to take home b4 returning in a cycle. Some send all their money home to support family. If you have a strong currency and jobs unfulfilled, someone out there will take their shot at the same dream your ancestors took many years ago.
The american dream: to be able to raise your social class by being successful in your trade and dealings. In a capitalistic democracy, wealth determines ones class. Wealth can be obtained easier here than anywhere else in the world.
A strong curency here means a meager wage in this country converted to pesos equalls a very good living.

I don't think anyone, except maybe the businesses that hire them, actually support illegal aliens. We just don't understand why y'all are so worked up about it. It seems pretty clear to us that farming, ranching, and the restaurant industry would be in deep trouble without the cheap labor provided by immigrants. And these unskilled laborers cannot get visas to enter the US legally. That was outlawed years ago. So how is farmer Brown going to get his apples picked without them? Even with this relatively cheap labor, he's having a real tough time competing with chinese imported apples. Send all the illegals home, and he'll be out of business. And pretty soon we'll be stuck with apples picked green in China months ago.
The total percentage of foreign-born people in the US today is LOWER than it was 100 years ago. And most of those 100 years ago would not be able to enter legally under today's laws.
What's the solution? Change the law, to allow legal immigration by unskilled laborers. I don't hear many politicians pushing that.

To me, illegal means against the law but not necessarily morally wrong.
I never know what to think about crossing borders. The first white man in America didn't hold a green card so it's a case of what power reigns at what time. Here I am, English and patiently waiting to get into Canada the 'legal' way whilst there are plenty of 'illegal' immigrants living and working where I want to be... not fair? Not right? But life, eh?

Some people cannot accept the law for the law. If your here and not a citizen or have papers, then your here illegally. If you think it's no big deal, go to a foreign country without papers. If you survive their prison, you will be happy to be back home.

No, you're not talking to yourself, but you certainly are misstating the problem. The problem is NOT the illegal aliens. The problem IS the mega-corporations that benefit from their labor. Note that every time Slimesucker George Bush or any of his scumsucking Administration rant on about illegal immigration, they carefully AVOID naming the real criminals -those same corporations and CEOs. They rant against the immigrants themselves who don't have the money to pay for their own defense and to buy off prosecutors.
You don't have to learn to speak Spanish to order a taco at a private restaurant - who is holding a gun to your pointy head and forcing you to patronize that restaurant? Ya know, the rest of the world considers it the height of civilized behavior to know several languages. You barely know one, and you wanna preach at ME about foreign languages? Hey, at least I can speak the languages of my ancestors - German and Gaelic - as well as the bastardized English spoken here. Whatssa matter you - you ashamed of your ancestors? Can't learn to talk the way they did? Or are you just too fat and lazy?

I know what you mean. I hate it when people do things illegal, just marching into someone else's country and then making a mess of it. Get a UN resolution, and become LEGAL. That kind of thing.

Yes, all that and more and to the tune of $ 30 Billion plus dollars a year of our money in education, social services as so on.

to me it means something which is against the law. When the law is broke some type of punishment must be presented.
