Hypothetically speaking (B/c amnesty won't ever happen) What do they plan on doing to improve their living conditions, etc? Do they plan on continuing to live off tax paid services? (I'll quit paying taxes if it happens) Just how are illegals planning on acquiring their "Aztlan" fairyland?

Dee - There are emaciated people in Ethiopia who would love to come to the USA 'to get a better life and feed their truly starving, dying family'. But they will not be allowed here unless they can get in LEGALLY. I have yet to see an illegal alien come across the Mexico border looking like they are 'starving'. The USA cannot import poverty from all over the world. Those people must be helped in THEIR country, not brought HERE. You honestly need to watch this video, it will give you a clear picture as to where the USA is headed. Do YOU want our future generations to live in a country worse than L.A. is today? What do you think California will be like in 30 years? Wake up, the USA is headed for financial and social RUIN, if WE don't stop it NOW!

I never saw anything in the Reconquista plan about 'improving' anything. Just about 'taking' it.

Well it's kinda hard to build your Shangri La when you have so few resources that you feel compelled to risk death or imprisonment to go somewhere you think is better.
It's also hard to develop and improve an area once you get there that you can only get a minimum wage job, are automatically judged and hated before you even get the chance to present yourself as a good person (or bad) and once again find yourself lacking in resources.
You know, I'm opposed to opening the gates and letting a bunch of non-nationals (of ANY ethnicity) in and think we need to deport any that come here illegally or by using deception...and those that slip under the radar and remain here undetected for years then finally get caught, I think we need to lock them away for a long time, but in this situation you have to think that each of those people are human beings.
There's mothers that don't want their children to starve, fathers that want to work (and work hard they do!), young people that want an opportunity to do something better than what their lives in other countries dictate...and each one is an individual.
Sometimes I see Americans treat immigrants (even legal ones) with such contempt and disdain that it makes me wonder if those folks even know that people coming here to escape so many different things is the foundation this nation was built on. America is one big melting pot and each and every one of us living here today can trace our ancestry to someone, somewhere jumping off of a boat onto the shores of this country at some point.
Individually, each of these illegals (and legal ones holding visas or work permits) is a human being. They feel emotion, they love, hate, feel fear, happiness, they cry they wait for life to get better and that is exactly why they come here....they're tired of waiting.
I'm sure if given the chance they would build a decent community because that's why they're here. Granted, I'm sure there's some that have conflicting goals...or even none at all but there's one of those in every crowd...even among Americans and our communities.
As Americans we're just going to have to get used to people wanting to make a better life for themselves, their children and families.
Our ancestors did.

Most illegals were poor and powerless in their country of origin, so there was little they could do there to improve conditions there. I'm not saying I support illegal immigration, but it's not helpful to expect that people who can barely support themselves will be "movers and shakers." Also, the number of illegals who have aspirations for creating an "Aztian" fairyland has to be miniscule. Most of the illegals have the same aspirations that all of our previous illegal aliens (which include Italians, Jews, Irish, and countless other Europeans) had when they immigrated: to build a better life for themselves and their children.

Illegals are all about themselves not what they can do for others if that was the case they would have respect of the laws of others.

What about you? What have you done to improve the U.S.? Just because your a native born american doesn't count you out of doing your part so that you can play hypocrite and point at other human beings who are just trying to survive.
