Because a great deal of effort is expended in trying to make thier crime acceptable. Without the extraordinary efforts of both political parties, numerous race-based groups, the governments of Mexico and other countries that export people here, cheap-labor-hungry big business, and a variety of other special interest, there would be no controversy.
Even with all the artificially-generated 'controversey' the majority of Americans oppose illegal immigration.

Because they are here ILLEGALLY. They suck money out of this country in the form of wages, free healthcare and welfare. They won't assimilate. And just today in the city I live, a vanload of 6 illegals killed a pedestrian. They are stealing jobs and comitting crimes.

This was the best answer chosen on a similar question by John S. Makes for some deep thinking if our Congress would just bite the bullet & do the necessary. Unfortunately, there are too many loans out to illegal aliens residing in the U.S. If they were to be sent home, the financed vehicles would disappear along with those being stolen & then houses would probably be trashed on their way out.
