Why would illegal immigrants want to sneak in knowing there is guest worker programs?

Question

I know there is a lot of people in here saying that they dont want any illegal immigrants.
But do people in the U.S. know that they dont give out work permits?
A lot of people think its so easy to get a visitor visa, student or worker? But it's really not. And I just want people to know that they do what they have to do to survive.

Answer 1

Why is everybody talking just about Mexicans when it comes to illegal immigrants? There are soooo many other illegals from Europe, Russia even Canada.
Its not that easy to get here - most of people (who are not Mexicans) have gotten visas in their home countries, came here and then being denied in visa extensions and are being left illegal. If they go back home - there is almost no chance to get visa second time to get back here.
Most of illegal immigrants DO pay taxes PLUS they dont get anything out of it - no benefits because they dont have wrights to that. So i would say illegals are actually supporting lazy Americans who sit at home on welfare.

Answer 2

well i really do not see any reason of why they would sneak and risk their lives if they could come legally , to me that would be like suggesting that they would be the only ones which would not take the opportunity which was given to millions before them .... however i am pretty sure than more than one believes they would not and that leaves me with a single thought and that being that they believe that their ancestors were actually smarter than the immigrants of today ... to me they are just showing their true colors but im sure they will still deny to have any racism in them ....

yes yes their ancestors came legally and the undocumented did not , we all know that but we also know that they ( their ancestors ) were given the opportunity to do so unlike the so many who live and work today in the USA , pay taxes and don't even get them back ever .... of course just like in any other group of people not all of them are good so therefor we should stand behind those which are actually helpful and repel those which are not with out justifying them in any way .

about the schools and their cost it is just a matter of looking into the numbers to see how much the undocumented actually contribute to American and how much is their actual cost ....

here something interesting from the Alan Greenspan about them and about the real " cost " ( they actually benefit ) :

Answer 3

Any query requested approximately “our” president is problematic to reply. I am by and large burdened by way of his motivations, they aren't constantly transparent. We have obvious ago that the Republican Party is attempting to damage out of its “historical tuition” mannequin and attraction to minorities. Latin Americans are being closely courted by way of the proper wing for the reason that they proportion many conventional values that the “proper” professes (e.g. devout values, household values, paintings ethic, and so forth.) This could have some thing to do with Bush’s immigration schedule. Also there exist a fact; we want Latin American’s to paintings our farmland, dishwashers, cleansing offerings, and so forth. The simplest wrong way we could be in a position to reap our vegetation is that if we compelled humans to do it. Remember we acquired rid of institutional slavery within the US 2 years after the tip of the Civil War, however our want for affordable exertions persevered. That’s why our commercial base has just about totally disappeared to international. And that opens up yet another factor. Most American residents aren’t inclined to paintings for low wages, no less than no longer adequate people to hold the exertions marketplace healthful. Factories want low paid, part trained people to run the desktop. The nation demands a better unemployment fee and diminish wages, so we will be aggressive on the earth marketplace. Be capable for a few bleak days one day, and it gained’t be the fault of the Latin American. There could also be the defense difficulty. The historical mannequin is they sneak throughout for farm paintings, and so forth. and than return after they get stuck, or consider like going again. But on the grounds that nine-eleven and the brand new American paranoia, we wish to make this other thing respectable so we will experiment who comes over and for the way lengthy. For me, a 3rd of the US was once stolen from them besides, and normally I like Latin Americans. They are difficult running and well lively. And they love and handle their households regardless of overwhelming odds. I am passive in this difficulty, looking with huge eyes and folded hands.

Answer 4

The same reason they are doing it now. they want to work and don't believe that they can get the papers necessary

most illegals caught sneaking in have never even tried to get legal immigration documents.
not because they are lazy but because of a corrupt system in Mexico, Smuggler's propaganda, and a whole system of misinformation, some of it sparked by shortcomings in the immigration system.

and yes some are lazy just not the majority.

Answer 5

Possibly because they would not qualify for a guest worker program. Perhaps they simply have no regard for laws. Perhaps they are not aware of a guest worker program. Perhaps they are too lazy to go thru the process like any law abiding citizen would do. Perhaps they are following what has become a family tradition.

Answer 6

Our schools and hospitals can only take so many and many more from many countries want to come that we can take and still give our own children education and health care. Coming above our limits is taking that from our children.

Answer 7

Then they should do it in their OWN COUNTRIES!!!!!! Why should the people in the USA support people who cross into our country ILLEGALLY, take jobs away from people, increase the welfare rolls in this country AND, cost HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS in medical expenses when they are sick or injured... they are ILLEGAL---they committed a CRIME by sneaking into our country-----make MEXICO a better country so that these people wouldn't HAVE to try to FLEE to our country because the USA is better....
