Mexicans love to whine on and on about how horrendous their country is -- when they aren't chanting "viva mexico" but they are doing absolutely nothing to improve their own country. They're quick to protest and have big marches here in the USA demanding this and that right they feel they deserve for breaking the laws here but do they ever consider marching for their rights back home? Doing something for their people? No, it's just much too easy to come here and start demanding everything.
Absolutely! But, that took courage, something obviously lacking in illegals.

No WIC offices, no Section 8 government handouts.

It's very very easy to come here illegally, there is no expectation that the immigration laws will be enforced, their own government encourages them to come illegally to the USA, they are called heroes if they do so. There is almost no downside at all and at the same time the rewards are very very great.

Come here illegally and start demanding your rights, and sure enough, you will have even the presidents insisting you be moved to the front of the line, ahead of all those law abiding types that tried to come the legal way.
Yep, especially now that Obama is giving a de facto amnesty to those illegals that haven't been convicted of a felony. Just more incentive for them to come here.

Stop speaking for every human. No, I don't think most humans would sneak into another country illegally unless they were in fear for their lives. Most coming here illegally today are here for economic gain at the expense of the American taxpayer but you're ok with that?

But I am not from "ANOTHER country"...

An eyeroll with accusations that I am lying? It is exactly as I have stated it. In one incident I knew it was against the express approval of the U.S. Department of State (they would probably agree with it now, in light of current events), but my Commanding Officer conducted a small meeting to dismiss that hindrance to the completion of our mission (there were no opposing opinions brought up among us), and we went in.

And that was a country we weren't even formally at war with...

No, there isn't a "valid visa" for the occasion, and if captured while illegally within a country, there could have been an end result of imprisonment or death...

It is a little bit more edgy to be illegally present in a country than what you have said...

Be Honest ! ! !

Of course, it's a no-brainer question. If you're desperate enough to survive, you will do just about anything.

MOST illegal aliens in the US AREN'T from countries where people are actually starving.
There are people starving in every nation on earth, including in the US. Just because we don't tend to notice does not mean they don't exist.

I still believe in doing right, not what is wrong and breaking the law to do it.

And how many parents and children because of illegals, are separated, and then they do face the music. The impact on their children, is not fair to them at all.

Then they demand certain rights, don't think so and it is not right.
You didn't answer honestly, just like most others didn't. Stepping up on the moral soapbox is a position you can have when you aren't desperate, and the question was clearly phrased in which you would be.

Mexico's other enemy: Obesity rates triple in last 3 decades - CNN

They come here for one reason and one reason only: they want more money. Why should we let them violate our immigration laws? Mexico would be a far better nation if more Mexicans would improve Mexico and make demands on Mexican officials instead of demanding the right to invade America and make demands on our citizens.
Mexico would be far better if Americans stopped consuming drugs. Or stopped making asinine assumptions about a country and people they clearly have no real-world experience with.

But the first thing someone starving should do is not start having babies and have one right after another.

Cranking out babies and then insisting they're starving so you must be allowed to break whatever law is stupid.
So someone can't be starving or homeless without a family? Why do you assume that the only reason they have these issues is because they were too irresponsible to stop having children? Talk about ignorant.
