No big deal? Tell you what. I'll break one law by pitching a tent on your front lawn and taking up residence. The police will refuse to remove me. When you ask me to leave, I'll refuse, and for good measure, I'll call you a racist and criticize your wife's cooking. No big deal.

Allowing people into this country "illegally" and now crying over spilled milk should be an offense against American and Mexican people who accepted it into their lives and let it become part of them.

But, because of their financial burden in their home country they are forced to come illegally. Most people would not leave their country, hometown, friends, and sometimes even family just to come and hang out or commit crimes.

Most People don't enter illegaly without paying a couple thousand dollars
I don't know how these people raise the money it takes to pay a smuggler to bring them here, sometimes even more than just a couple (2,000$) thousand $ Then why is it they can't come up with the money to survive in their own country? Do they in fact commit criminal acts in their countries to get these funds? Or do they work to earn it.
Just doe s not make sense to me Why they can't stay home.

when a smuggler is used, it is an investment with an immediate return: instant immigration, with instant opportunity. its like asking why, if someone can afford college, they dont just save the money and live off of that?

Where were you before 9/11? We could have used your help.

However! The Terrorist themselves applied for and received Visas after they already crashed the planes..so I guess they were legal and therefore posed no problem to your keen illegals are terrorists instinct.

Yeah I couldn't agree more, I've told the illegals that only ten can stay on my front yard and five in the back. That's the maximum occupancy level of my property. LOL!

People who steal towels from motel rooms don't hurt anyone--they just want a free towel. Illegal immigrants don't usually physically hurt anybody. They are just immigrants who skip the legal process of entering the country..

ALL of these people, though, are in violation of the law. ALL of them are subject to prosecution.

As you say, Immigration does carry many positives with it---as long as it's legal.
