I mean how many of you that are posting questions or answers regarding illegal aliens really feel you have a good understanding about the situation? Do you understand the culture the society in which they come? Or do you just vent your frustrations on everyone?

By your line of reasoning, people in Maine would be the most anti-illegal since they wouldn't know any illegals personally. But it's people in the West and South that see the illegals up close, and we are the ones who suffer from illegal immigration the most. The border states are hopping mad, and we have intimate knowledge of illegals.
As for understanding their "society", we couldn't care less since it's obviously so dysfunctional that it must ship its trash over the border. We judge illegals by their behavior, not their "society".

I live in Texas.
Analysis of the latest Census data indicates Texas’s illegal immigrant population is costing the state’s taxpayers more than $4.7 billion per year for education, medical care and incarceration. Even if the estimated tax contributions of illegal immigrant workers are subtracted, net outlays still amount to more than $3.7 billion per year. The annual fiscal burden amounts to about $725 per Texas household headed by a native-born resident.
Now - ask me why I should give a damn about people who are coming here illegally and making ME pay for them, when I'm trying hard enough to make ends meet for myself and my family.
From estephania: "They are very proud of their country(as I think we should all be proud of the country in which we are from) but aren't afraid to talk about the faults of their country as well. "
If they're so proud of their country, then why are they so eager to LEAVE it???

I live in a sanctuary city.
How about you? Do you live in an area that has had to face the consequences of illegal immigration? What is the culture of an illegal immigrant? You are picking a certain group, I am talking about the group as a whole... My city has many different groups of illegal aliens, which culture would you like to discuss?
We have the highest cost per capita per child educational system in the US now since becoming a sanctuary city, we have overcrowding in schools that were meant for citizens which are now packed with the children of illegals, we used to be the highest per capita income in the US.... not any more. Our largest hospital is asking for federal help to keep the emergency room doors open due to losses.

On a day to day basis at the factory I work at. I understand the situation really well and they need to understand our culture not the other way around.

I deal with legal and illegals everyday because of where I live...
My son is half hispanic, so his relatives on his dad's side talk about their view's on the situation
I also had a boyfriend from central america that is a legal resident that used to talk about the political situation..
Besides how I am affected financially and mentally by this situation, I also keep abreast of the politics on both sides regardless of my political party...

Judging by the verbs in use, I think most if not all are either: real racists, frustated, angry, white trash with dial-up, or a combination of all (or perhaps I have missed something).

I am surrounded by them so I have no choice but to interact with them at times. I have personally had bad experiences with them and i've never seen such racism. We used to have a day labor not far from me in a shopping area and everytime I walked by they would say things in spanish and grab their crotch. I also had one steal my car battery,one tried to break into my home and another one blew dirt and sand into my sons eyes(only about 9 months old at the time) with a leafblower on purpose. I've had quite enough interaction thank you very much and now I want them gone.

No one on here understands the "culture and society" of all the countries that the illegal aliens from over 100 countries that were deported last year. Nor do you. Nor does it matter.
What matters is they broke our immigration laws coming here and they are ILLEGALLY here.
Every person from every country has their own excuse. It matters not. There is but one way to immigrate here. LEGALLY. Period.

The issue becomes a problem when they want to change our laws, according to their way of thinking, and that's why I live in the States and not anywhere else, because I agree with (good or bad) our system.
