agree with you point rugg, illegals are not good for economy(don't you think they do not want the benefits of being a legal, such as state security ?), however, this is a deeper problem....Those hard workers for low profit want a better life, this should be fought in their country of origin , not in in the foreign country itself.
many of them are trapped in american dream that and go to US, but many of them don't know that when they come they'll be hostage of their employer,and their coyote, i think pretty much of us here know what those immigrants pass trough, they many times live in poor condtion and can't blame any authority , otherwise they'll be hunted by the law enforcement.
they're more kind of a hostage compelled to slavery than troublemaker itself., and making hate comments about them is just terrible.
Besides, who hires a illegal immigrant service ? certainly aren't other immigrants, many of them are native, am i wrong?
here in Brazil we have a big problem with Chinese and Bolivian who are kept slaves in our biggest city...hard to see any of the employer being punished here, how it work in US?
hate the smugglers and the employers , not the people who unfortunatelly go there try a better life in their rich cousin country.
The sad news is that the news i receive here from US are not the better ones away of the hypocrisy , they're treated like criminals only for living,sent to jail and finally deported, treated like crap, if their suffering crossing the damn desert isn't enought.
