Can you blame Mexicans wanting to come to America build a better life for their family? Yes it's illegal, but wouln't you steal bread to feed your children?
Beside our government, who else is to blame?

Why you would blame our government for the problems with Mexico astounds me. If you want to lay blame, look no further than the rampant corruption that is Mexico. I blame our government for not dealing with the problem of illegals here in our country. Yes, I understand that things are rough in Mexico, but unless we want a similar situation here, we have got to do something to stop them from coming in. It is time to put a stop to the United States subsidizing the country of Mexico via illegal workers. And if Mexico is so bad, why don't the people of Mexico do something to fix the problem instead of fleeing.

I AM Mexican, live in Mexico and lucky to be part of the very small group of "well to do" people here. I love to visit the US (with my tourist visa) and I agree that people shouldn't break the law, but I cant help but sympathize with the people who go to the US to seek a better life for their family. Many people here say that we should be doing something to improve our country, but it's not as easy as it sounds, the government is VERY corrupt and it's almost impossible to infiltrate politics if you are an honest person trying to do something better for the country because all of the corrupt politicians find ways to bring you down. Unfortunately, the only kind of revolution, if there ever is one, it will be led and funded by another political party that is even more corrupt than the one in power now. So we are screwed any way. That is why people who want a better life risk it by going to your country. So in conclusion, THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT IS THE MOST TO BLAME.

This is suppose to be the land of the free...that's one of the motto is it not? I blame the country they come from. Ppl have a problem with immigrants coming here when they are just trying to find a better way to live, but They are forgetting at some point your family migrated here from some where to improve their lives why can't others. How many laws did the founders of this country break? I would steal bread to feed my child if I have too.

We can only blame the Mexican people's government. That and this government.
But I think illegals come from all over there world, last time I checked.

There are over 200 countries that are poorer than Mexico. What do you think this country would look like with a billion people? They have the richest man in the world living there. We fought a revolution to create a great country - if a country isn't worth fighting for it's not worth living in. My ancestors didn't fight and die so the poor mexicans can have a better life.
Blame games don't solve anything.

Yes the government is to blame just as ours is. If any of you who are against illegals, go live in the places they are fleeing from. I know what I am talking about because I have family in Mexico. It's not all like the beach resorts you go to on your vacations, venture out side those walls. Your going to sit there and say it's not the government when they are bought by the drug dealers. They have no middle ground, there are no opportunities like there are here. My sister in law is a doctor and do you think they get paid good money? NO they don't. If you want your child to have a good education you have to pay for private school, but how are you suppose to do that? Not to mention getting food, clothes, shoes, and necessities in the home. Us Americans are very fortunate we were born into such a great country, and we take that for granted. We have become such a selfish country that we have forgotten what this country was founded on. Before too long, no one will want to come to the United States, and all will get what they wanted.

You raise a very good point. I do not blame them for wanting a better life for them and there family but I can not support them breaking the law. I think our government is not to blame but shouldn't it be the blame of their own government that does not assist and support them. Bottom line even if you steal bread to feed your family and you get caught you will be prosecuted it is there fault for breaking the law no matter the reason.

I recently moved from Texas where it is impossible to find decent work, much less a decent wage, big business there have hired the illegals and thus brought a new standard of wage.
Try to rent an apartment for under $500 a month....the illegals live 10-12 in each, hot cotting, working for $7.00 per hour...I blame first Bush for letting them in then I blame big business for employing them...
