why do people seem to think that anybody who comes to this country is am "immigrant"? If the person is legal, then it is immigration but if the person sneeks in, that is just trespassing or even a worse crime. Why would we want ppl in this country to willingly break the laws?

Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is like calling a burglar an uninvited house guest.

I think that Immigrants should come in the legal way instead of trying to come in the illegal way.
It's just not right! Nice People Have to wait for a year to get in offically, While Illegal Law breaking immigrants just come in for free.
the only good thing about coming in the legal way is that they won't be deported or they wouldn't get a bad job like other illegals.

This country was founded upon the idea of breaking laws and small coups trying to resist the norm. If the declaration of independence was not a hit, all the writers and signers would have been heretics of the age. As for people breaking laws in this country, examples are all around.... look at the jails (are they reducing in population from all the good, law abiding people?), hollywood (such good, legal activities there), politics (do you really want me to go there?), and even the common member of society (note: not the word CITIZEN). How often do you do no more than the posted speed limit? Do you litter? Jaywalk? Everyone is a rule-breaker...it just comes down to the degree.
People who enter this country (not just from the south) are doing so because they see opportunity greater than in their homeland. That should make United Statesians (note: not AMERICAN - that implies north, central, and south) feel proud and help bolster their already too large egos.
Take a look at the history books. This is said to be a melting pot. Where cultures mix together HARMONIOUSLY.
Take the time to really examine the costs of becoming a member of this republican society (note: not DEMOCRACY, but small-r republican) and then you might have a greater appreciation for those who want better but can't afford this country's process to become "legal."
Good luck.

They call it immigration because the people are coming here to work and live. If it was trespassing as you say they would be going back to Mexico.

They migrate in. That's the definition. Whether they do it legally or not, they intend to be immigrants.

the economy is now based on illegal immigration and if they all went back to their countries our economy would crash. you don't see many white men mowing lawns or working at the mc donalds now do you? and futher more people dont need to treat them like vermen. they are people just the same as you and I and they just want to make a better living for their familys. not all countries have luxiourys like america has or wealthier countries and the people who really want the immigrints to go home should go live where the illegal aliens would have to live in their own countries and see if they wouldnt be jumping to get the hell out of there. people are just ignorant.

Do you want to here something that ticks me off? In Mexico, if you are an illegal alien, you get killed by the government. What a bunch of hippocrites. The U.S. should take up that law.

People beak the law a lot here in the US. they drive much faster than the speed limit, run red lights and stop signs and drive after having way too much too drink.
But until they are caught and convicted, we dont call them law breakers. Innocent until PROVEN guilty. American way

What is worse is a majority of Americans are furious about this and neither party does a thing about it.
