Many of the illegal immigrants come to make money so they can send it home to their family, and then someday return to them when they have saved enough. The others are tryng very hard to gain legality. If the US didn't make it so hard in the first place to enter then we wouldn't have the problem of so many illegals now.
I am a US citizen, born and raised here, and I am proud of it - but I am sorry to say, sometimes I am so ashamed of our seeming inability to sympathize with those poorer than ourselves. Should we spend only ten days in their shoes we would be panting at the borders begging to be allowed to come back.
Illegally immigrating is against the law, but most of them don't know any other way. Let's try to help them understand rather than hating them. Only when they see we care will they stop to listen. I am not condoning illegal actions, I just wish we could try to be more helpful. God wants us to help those weaker than ourselves, and Mexico's economy is obviously weaker than

more than hate it is something pretty similar what its being done and that would be blaming them for every single thing those who are against them can find and when i say can find sadly a lot of the time is invent . most of the immigrants come to work , most of them have good morals , most of them would had done it the right way if they had been given the opportunity , yet those who are against them act as if they had nothing but hate for them calling them leaches , saying most of them are criminals escaping the Mexican justice but yet manage to steal the American jobs , i mean c'mon are they thieves or people who want to work and were deprived of so many just so we could live better ??? i believe the second would be the answer clearly and if anyone of those who oppose them were in their situation that anyone would also not be against them .

by the way they are pretty good in making up numbers but never good in bringing up prove about what they claim . here the opposite so u see who brings prof and who doesn't :

http://www.window.state.tx.us/specialrpt/undocumented/6economic.html

Without the undocumented immigrant population, Texas’ work force would decrease by 6.3 percent. This decline is actually somewhat lower than the percentage of the work force actually accounted for by undocumented immigrants, since REMI assumes some additional immigration would occur to replace the workers lost. The most significant economic impact of losing undocumented workers would be a noticeable tightening in labor markets.

This tightening would induce increases in wages, as indicated by a rise in average annual compensation rate. Wage rates would rise by 0.6 percent in the first year and stay above the forecast rate throughout the entire 20-year period.

While pay increases can be viewed as a positive social and economic development, when they rise due to labor shortages they affect economic competitiveness. In this case, it would be expressed as a modest decline in the value of Texas’ exports.

The remaining broad economic measures all point to an initial impact of undocumented immigrants of about 2.5 percent in terms of the value of production and wages in the Texas economy. Eliminating 1.4 million immigrants would have resulted in a 2.3 percent decline in employment, a 2.6 percent decline in personal income and a 2.8 percent decline in disposable personal income in 2005. This change also would generate a 2.1 percent decline in the gross state product (GSP), the broadest measure of the value of all goods and services produced in Texas.

edit about fatgoose comment all i can say is that the USA has as many as 900 know hate groups and than that still would never give ME enough reasons to hate all the Americans .

edit 2 : about Leeane comment all i can say is that with out them actually the IRS would not have a 10 percent surplus or where do they want to pretend that 10 percent came from ???

Uhh excuse me, but no one ever said they have a problem with immigrants. What we said is that we have a problem with ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. What part of illegal immigrant do knuckleheads like yourself not understand? And what part of the word sovereignty do you not understand? You say they are here so they can work and send money to their family. Well guess what? SO ARE LEGAL CITIZENS OF THE U.S.A.!! Why do illegal immigrants get to cut in line and undercut our standard of living? Don't tell me that's not what they do, cause that is exactly what they do. If the legal citizens of the U.S.A. let things continue, it will turn into the CESSPOOL that many parts of Mexico and other areas of the world have become. Maybe illegal immigrant scum should keep their pants zipped next time and learn what condoms, spermicide and prophylaxis is. It is not the U.S.A.'s responsibility to fix their corrupt government's mess. (Mexico or wherever the hell they came from) Our USA government is not following the law, by allowing those that slip through the cracks to stay here. The USA is a democratic republic; meaning that its government has to answer to the demands of its citizens, not the other way around. France is the same way. What's this sob story about Mexico anyway? Mexico is not the meek nondescript land many might think it is. Mexico is one the richest countries in the world that has tons of resources.

Hundreds of thousands(probably millions) have come here from other countries, most have come legally. The majority could not speak any English, some; only a few words. All we are asking of the Mexicans is that they come legally, we are not saying they cannot come, just do it legally! Get a EAD card that allows you to come here to work during the planting & harvest season, make money, then go home for the winter months. Is that too much to ask of these people? I don't think so! We do not hate these people but we must keep the playing field even, for all of those who come illegally, others cannot come legally! We do have quotas for the # of immigrants we allow in from each country.

You are correct in many ways.
Unfortunately, no country can sustain an unlimited influx of immigrants - not even the United States. There are millions of legal immigrants in this country which simply proves that legal entry may be a hurdle, but it certainly is possible.
It is unreasonable to believe that any country can maintain a semblance of order when millions of its occupants are not even documented. We don't even know who they are, where they are or how many there are.
The simple reality is that if this influx of illegal immigrants continues, our public services will soon be overburdened and under funded - and that certainly isn't fair not only to the natural citizens but also to the millions who have entered legally.
No, we shouldn't "hate illegal immigrants" - for we are equally to blame for turning a blind eye and passively allowing them to enter, employing them and providing social services to them.
It has become a very complex issue - complicated by marriages, off spring and dependency on their labor.
There's really no simple answer - obviously, changes in our border security and laws are needed before we can address the millions that are already in the country - let alone the many who continue to enter illegally.

What part of Illegal do you not get? And as far as being sympathetic...see if any other country leads its' soldiers into war for OTHER country's issues at hand and money in the amount that WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES do. I think you may have forgotten...this is not a pity party thrown for other countries who's governments do not have the ability or WANT a democratic society where people have a voice. Oh, by the way...they could be legal if they want through the system. Yeah it might take sometime...but it is the LEGAL way to do it!

Here is an analogy:
There are two people, both starving. One stands on the corner and asks for bread. Many people give. Another breaks in to houses and steals the bread because begging takes too long.

The United States is not the Welfare Department of Mexico (or any other poor country, they are not all from Mexico). We allow in as many LEGAL immigrants as we feel the US can absorb. We are allowed to determine that number.

Illegals cut in line and steal spots from the people that enter legally.

I do not hate them personally but I do however,dislike their conniving ways.They come over here and destroy our job market,overcrowd our schools and emergency rooms,and then play off like they don't know any better.They know exactly what they're doing.I wish their "die-hard" supporters would wake up and smell the cappuchino already.I really dislike the fact that they're cutting in front of the people who are trying to make it to the USA the proper,legal, way.

No,we should not be considered equal because quite simply,we are not. They are criminals who are invading and destroying this country. They are greedy,racists and they leech off of others. Sorry but I will most definitely claim superiority over your precious illegals.
The only shame you should feel is your own.

I wonder how old you are. Not a put down, it's just that as you get older and you have kids you want a certain standard of living , and where and how you live is an important part of what you want for your kids. Anybody jeopardizing that of my or my childrens or family wether through politics, job opportunities, or crime, pisses me off. Why do I have to pay taxes, obey laws, etc? The rules are different for people who haven't even proven themselves trustworthy?.

OK.... I give up. Why do you hate illegal aliens?


Most of us don't hate them... we simply want our laws enforced and obeyed.

I think it's a good thing for most illegal aliens that we don't treat them as their home country treats illegal aliens.

Warm regards,
