Well, this would be my answer if an illegal asked me why I am against illegal immigration.
The crime rate when up by your cherished gangs.
Your unlicensed, uninsured drivers started killing our citizens
You ruined our neighborhoods by moving in, parking your old skeletons of cars, throwing garbage and empty beer cans all over the sidewalks where our children use to play.
When you ruined our quiet enjoyment of our homes, by playing your ranchero music so loud that the whole block can hear it. And when asked to turn it down you swore at my wife.
It started when you refuse to enter our country here legally, and cause me, my family to work extra hours to pay our taxes to support you.
It started when we saw that you were receiving free medical care, when we are not able to get it because we cannot earn enough money to pay for it.
It started when we see that you stand in line in front of us at Safeway, purchase food with federal funds that I paid for, but I cannot afford all the food you are getting for free.
It started when you stand outside the Home Depot, and work for 8 dollars an hour, while my neighbor who is a contractor, has to pay for insurance, employee taxes, social security, health plans, city permits, and you just take the cash and cut his business out of the picture.
It started when my child get substandard education because the schools allocate money because you are too lazy to learn the language that is in this country.
It started when I have to press one, to speak to someone that I cannot understand.
It started when you got drunk, and ran over a family and killed them, when you were without a license, insurance and then you ran back to your country.
It started when my children started getting exposed to diseases that were no longer active in the US, but came back with you.

i am against illegal aliens not against immigration
immigration is the path a law abiding person takes to achieve citizen status it is a privilege not a right.
we do not allow criminals and anyone with infectious diseases
those are a few of the reasons we have laws.
illegal aliens is the correct legal term used by immigration lawyers and officials to describe someone that has broken the laws of this nation to enter without permission and stay for whatever reason they may have.
they have committed a crime and must be deported and through attrition we can achieve this .
i don't care what nation they are from regardless of their status or position , weather or not they have family here and a house and a job .
they have broken the laws of this nation and should be deported and if they follow the rules and apply from their home nation maybe they can come back . or take their family back with them . no other country is as lax as America nor does any country allow the numbers of immigrants as we do .
too many have taken advantage and the line is drawn in the sand and we are standing up and demanding laws to be obeyed that is why we have this great nation because we have laws for the people not laws for lawless people that refuse to obey them . the end of leniency has arrived
we have been stepped on too many times

The key word is illegal. Those who come here illegally defy the very essence of our nation. This is a government by the people, for the people. We made laws and they should be followed by those who come here respectfully to experience our great nation. If they don't come here legally, I consider them the enemy.
Theodore Roosevelt, 'Federal Textbook on Citizenship Training', published in 1931...
In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one soul [sic] loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.

Its illegal.
Im not oversimplifying but I think the economic arguments are hypocritical. Saying that illegal immigrants have a cost on services and government benefits is disingenuous. Then it would follow that if it could be shown that illegal immigrants are a net benifit to our economy, then it would be perfectly alright.
However allowing people to work here without being properly documented is sanctioning their exploitation along with penalizing the people that actually try to immigrate to this country by going through the proper channels.

criminal immigration is the approach the place people seeking to go into the US save on with immigration regulations and observe for visas, and so on. to go into the rustic. unlawful immigration happens while people sneak in like thieves in the night, as in chinese language welded into the steel holds of field ships that run aground on long island and Mexicans sneaking around the southern border devoid of regard to the regulation. And stable grief, birds do not immigrate, they migrate, it somewhat is traveling with the seasons. Mexicans could as a consequence be greater suited stated as unlawful migrants.

Illegal is ILLEGAL. I get super p-offed when I go and apply for a job and the position has been given to an illegal immigrant. The employers should also be punished for hire-ring illegals.

“ILLEGAL” is a relative social term. Not like Murder, Theft or Fraud, that speak for themselves. Illegal is broad so that it can be stigmatized and thrown to anyone “society” sees fit. May I remind you that without ILLEGAL activity, lots of Americans would still be N1GG3RS.
“We have more then enough evidence to prove that they are harmful yet people still support them”- a common argument
-DEHUMANIZE: To deprive of human qualities such as individuality, compassion, or civility: slaves who had been dehumanized by their abysmal condition.
-By stamping words such as ILLEGAL and comparisons to inanimate objects you are in fact DEHUMANIZING human beings. It’s a war tactic that can be used to spread racist propaganda.

My take? I think illegal aliens steal the potential for immigration from others all around the world. For every illegal who sneaks across the border, another legal alien has to be denied. It's not fair to those who are willing to be law abiding.
There are many reasons why illegal aliens are dangerous for our country: they aren't screened for disease, they aren't background checked for crimes, they don't follow the law, they aren't prepared to assimilate, they are undereducated, they create a subclass/underclass, they undercut wages, they use up infrastructure and tax dollars to which they don't contribute and are not entitled...and so on and so on.
