Unfortunately people don't understand this simple fact and wish that they did it "legally." What they don't know is that the only ones who can enter that way are rich people.

.... blah blah blah. I'm so sick of the sob stories, they really are getting old and they are completely lacking in any kind of practical logic to begin with.
Do you think illegal aliens from Mexico are the only people on this earth who have problems? Do you think American citizens don't have to get up and go to work every day? Or have to worry about getting laid off? Or have to raise their kids and provide for their protection and well being?
And does this mean everyone on earth who has it tougher than us should come on over here?
This p.i.s.s.e.s me off so bad because it's all happening simply because a bunch of power-hungry politicians want 12 million dependents who will vote for them. Those politicians don't give a damn about the people who voted them into office, and trusted them, and are the ones really suffering because of the illegal invasion. And they all got their's, that's all that really matters to them right?

Yes, it is so bad. First, the United States of America is a country where we honor laws. When we find people who break our laws, we punish them according to the laws as fairly as we can.
We have a law that says, everyone must enter this country legally. They broke this law. The law says you must have a permit, be a resident, or a citizen to accept employment. They broke this law, too.
Our services are funded by taxes. We all pay taxes. We, the able-bodied citizens have the responsibility to work and pay taxes so we can supply our folks with services they need. Those who come here illegally do not pay taxes, other than sales taxes.
Now, all that aside....
I believe many of us were somewhat of accepting of the fact we have (quite a few) pepole residing here illegally and accepting jobs that many of us weren't willing to do. Many of us turned blind eyes to some of these activities.
What many of us are having hard time accepting is that those people who are here illegally are demanding services, demanding citizenship, demanding social services, demanding we learn their language, demanding we respect their way of life while they blatantly ignore ours, declearing their rights to be here, and stating they are not criminals. (wait a second.... broke the law to come in to the country.... that's not a crime?)
Tell me you do see something wrong with this picture....

First, let me ask you if it bothers you that Illegal imigrants do not pay taxes, however contribute to the crowding of public schools, the over crowding of prisons, and are permitted to utilize certain welfare benefits, which again, you paid taxes for?
My family travelled here from Italy and were very very poor. They kept their heritage, but integrated into U.S. society, learned english, and did it all legally. They worked and made a better life for themselves and didn't whine or complain or march on the government because things were hard on them. THEY DID IT ALL LEGALLY.
Most of these illegals can to, BUT CHOOSE NOT TO. The first thing they did was disrespect the American people and broke our laws and enjoy the privelages of American society (laws, convenience, healthcare, etc.) without contributing their fair share to society.

The situation has gotten so out of hand,that yes it is. I understand the poverty and the suffering but we have poor and homeless in the USA that need our help.

yeah yeah all the "proud americans" ***** about illegal immigrants, but the only difference between them and the undocumented workers is a place of birth.
