My mexican neighbors are good people and have touched my heart many times.

I also see blatant disregard and disrespect for our laws, our customs, our country and our people. I know we have plenty of Americans who also fit the bill, but amnesty is rewarding bad behavior and it's been proven to not work.

I believe both sides would be better off if we had tighter borders, enforced laws and better, more open, immigration policies.

Illegal alien, invaders, illegal food stamp army.

There's 30-38 MILLION illegal aliens here clolonizing my country and blatantly destroying the American way of life and I'm supposed to worry about offending them?

If it's uncomfortable for them here they can do the right thing and go back home.

We support them, for goodness sakes! They bite the hand that feeds them, so I am not worried about offending them, either. They ought to be grateful to the American people who, as in NO other country, let them come in and get our services for FREE. What a deal they're getting!

There are no such things as roads, people dry their clothes outside, they live in shacks, an two car American garage is considered a big home, thousands of orpahns, numerous prostitutes, people live in tents, a ton of disabilities among all people. Many kids are orphans because their parents spend the day scavenging through the city's dump looking for food. Now, there are rich Mexican people in Tijuana and other parts of Mexico, but 50% of this country is in total poverty. People come here for money and a better life, it's not the U.S. problem mass illegal immigration comes into our country. But if you take a little trip to the third world, you will understand completely why people say goodbye Mexico, Hello USA.
Let there be Light, let there be Truth, Mexico's not that bad, most people who immigrate, do so because the veil of ignorance blinds their single eye.

What you described, exists in any country, Mexico too for sure, but is this Mexico? or is this poverty that can be seen even in America? I've seen places like that in San Francisco for example, maybe they have roads, but they smell like urine, have lots of people trying to sell you drugs, prostitutes, homeless, scary! is this America? Heck no, is not Mexico either, besides those who immigrate, usually don't live in those conditions.

What is the real reason behind illegal immigration?

Mexico isn't that bad at all. It is great, I go there with American friends all the time and they love it!

Actually I think many Mexican Citizens are sympathetic to Americans. My wife and I were in Esenada in July and many Mexican people were talking about immigration and were really apologizing to Americans there that they have to deal with illegals.
