No it is not a good thing. It undermines the people that are trying to get here legally. Do you know how many hoops you have to jump through and how much money you have to pay to get permanent residency here. To do all of that and see other people just walk into the country and get the same things that you had to work so hard for just isn't right.
Also, this immigrating here illegally does not mean that they are from Mexico. There are plenty of illegal immigrants from other countries too. The same rules should apply to them.

Illegal immigrants are bad for the country. Despite all of the talk that they do jobs that others don't want, the truth is they are severly harming the economy. This is done through the lowering of the pay system, non-payment of taxes, draining of money from the "welfare" system including medical systems, and additional costs such as judicial/prison and insurance.
Legal immigrants are good for the country. They work within the economy of the country.

No I don't think it's right. My brother is a border guard defending our border. Most people say that all these people are trying to get a better life well, that is crazy! If you are trying to get a better life then you should come into this country legally. If you come in illegally most of the time you will get caught eventually so there goes your better life. Plus, all these people are taking the jobs that people in America need desperately there are not many jobs anymore for the legal people living here. I think it is terrible when people come into this country illegally.

Yes it is wrong to come to the US unrightfully. First of all, I don't mind anyone that comes to the US to make a better life for them and their families. The thing is that it is only right that everyone that comes here to the US should be legal. It's not fair to the american citizens and it not fair for those that are already here and legal. Our tax dollars and federal government aid is what the american people contribute to everyday and money we work hard for to support people who are here illegally.

Do they pay taxes???
NO they don't.
Do they get benefits?
YES they do!
Where do benefits come from?
THE TAXES that hard working legal immigrants and citizens pay!
SO they don't contribute any money, but they take the money we put in!
I would say they are slowly but steadily ripping us off!
I know things are bad in their country and all.....but other countries have it worse!!!! Trust me.....go research the killing of Coptic Christan's in the middle east or Asia. You don't see tons of them coming and running like cowards!

I am pretty sure some (not all) illegal immigrants commit crimes......do we need this extra crime? NO, we sure don't!
So that's another extra burden we carry form them!
Conclusion: How can illegal immigrants be good? They are BAD!!
only good for the employer.....and since he/she is low enough to hire illegal immigrants he/she most likely isn't paying taxes either.
This makes me sick!

Depends on you viewpoint. If you are rich or a business, you want illegal aliens since you can pay them less.
If you are looking for a job in an area that illegal aliens compete for then you are out of luck. This is one of the reasons Blacks and poor white have been migrating from heavily Hispanic areas. They cannot find jobs.

I think it's OK unless they come here to ruin out country, steal, murder, etc. If they are good people I don't care if they live here legally or not.
