If I can find I job and work everyday without calling in sick, and do my best at the task at hand, pay taxes that I cannot collect, cannot afford to be sick or go to the hospital and yes send my hard earned monies back home to support a family. Where do you find it to be of bad taste to be here undocumented. Illegal is a word reserved for those that CHOSE not to work and live off society like most AMERICANS.

Do you understand the concept of legality? If you break the law you are a criminal, you just haven't been convicted yet. Also do you work for less then the minimum wage?

Yes, it bothers me only for the reason that you are probably working for minimum or less than wage. And the truth is even though you personally do not take any handouts from our government there are plenty of illegals who do and are good at scamming the system. I've worked in the medical field long enough to see this happening and the money that is just forked over to support these people everyday when they aren't even legally supposed to be here. They are hard workers of course. Many with 2, 3 jobs but thinking economically about this problem it is devastating for our country, particularly the middle class but great for the rich. Pretty much everything we have overcome in history to abolish slavery is coming back again in a new people who don't mind this sort of lifestyle but I am a born American and I do.

Hey. Let me put it this way. You are a trader to your own country. I would stay in America no matter how hard it gets. I have no desire to run to some other country to make a few bucks. Figure out how to make your own country change to the point you won't want to leave it. I think you are a trader to your own country no matter how bad it may be. I envy no worker. I have my own work to deal with and I am not looking to see how big a piece of pie someone else has. Especially an illegal bum that has a lowly job and thinks he/she has something. I see the jobs illegals take. Americans don't want those demeaning jobs. We want education and jobs where we can exploit traders from other countries let them have some crummy job and let them think they have something then ship them off when they get caught. I am Hispanic and my grandmother came here legally and worked hard and became a citizen within the parameters of the law. I notice the illegals here treat American born Hispanics like crap and act like snobs after sneaking across the border in the dark like rats invading a kitchen. Or like a roach that needs squashed. The trend is changing and illegals are becoming a thing of the past. Your days are numbered believe me. We don't need crooks we need legal immigrants that are honest not sneaky lawbreaking illegals. Go back and make your country something don't destroy ours. Build yours up don't tear ours down. Be what you are don't be a trader to what you are supposed to be in your own country. A person that doesn't know what country they belong to are useless to everyone. You have a resentment against American workers but we built the world and took it out of ignorance and you do not represent anything but lawless disrespect for a country you take your measly pay from. What an unappreciative low life. Put our country down and look where you run to. You can never be an American so why are you here? Because you are a lawless crook greaser. Go back to your pathetic homeland and tell everyone how bad America is. We could care less what you think here. You are nothing and are useless, uneducated, non-talented, a lawbreaker, a snob and a burden on any country even your own. That is why you are here. We tolerate you. You don't tolerate us. You have your greasy hand out when you take our money don't you? We lose better jobs to India where they have at least some real skills in light of their hardships. You have no skills and have a job that people in India would give to an untouchable.

The fact is that most illegals don't pay taxes. Another thing that is unfair is thousands upon thousands of people come to this country and do so the legal way, spending many years going through the system to become a citizen and assimilated themselves into the culture. A good portion of illegals don't assimilate into the culture like generations of immigrants before them. This is causing huge enclaves of mexican and other cultures who refuse to become "Americans." You can find in such things as having to "press 2 for spanish" or looking at goods that are printed in English as well as Spanish. I know I'm focusing on Mexicans but that's just because they are the bulk of the problem. Every generation before came to this country and assimilated into the culture that makes America great. It seems Mexicans are trying to force their culture on America, not the other way around. Yes, it's true that one of the things that makes the U.S. a great country is the wide variety of culture. The problem is that Mexicans are not assimilating their culture into the American culture, they are creating enclaves which is not what past generation have done. Anyway, I might have gone off topic but the short answer is I don't agree with illegals working in the U.S. Unless they are documented and here legally I think it's bad for our country :-).

Like most AMERICANS?
Hey Bucko!
Americans are hard workers, for whom most obey the laws of our country and strive to improve it.
Many of our countrymen/countrywomen serve our armed forces to protect others in other countrys whose own governments won't.
We started a program called NAFTA that allows our own business to move to other countrys in order to offer employment to those countrymen which is now causing a loss of jobs here in America.
The question that bugs me the most, is why don't the illegals stay in their own country and WORK together to improve their society, like our countrymen did some 400 years ago?
Frankly, our society recognizes that everyone takes their turn in line, it's polite and respectfull.
You like others, don't want to take your turn, you want to jump to the front of the line and the hell with those who act appropriately!
Go home, and come to this country properly, take your turn and earn our respect!

You are wrong on 2 counts.
Most Americans do not chose not to work. Many you refer to are children, the elderly and the totally disabled! Many are Veterans of wars that are disabled physically or mentally!
Whether someone wants to work has no bearing as to your, or their, legal status! And being here is not in bad taste, it just violates civil law!
Why don't you become documented rather that put those that hire you at-risk of criminal charges? I am sure they are aware of your status though!
