Because they want people to put up drywall, mow their lawns, clean their houses. etc. for $10/hour or less with no benefits.

You bet. Why should anyone at that skill level demand more? Have you heard of the minimum wage, comrade?

Yes, of course far too many Americans have been indoctrinated into the PC world but I think there are even more who are pro-illegal because of ethnocentricism on their part.

They can wait legally like every other country. They got families to feed? So do people in the US, Mexico, France, India, China, etc etc. Should we let them all in while we pay for it? How much taxation will you be able to take until you shout "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"
Yes and I have seen this:

This analysis tests the often-made argument that immigrants only do jobs Americans don’t want. If the argument is correct, there should be occupations comprised entirely or almost entirely of immigrants. But Census Bureau data collected from 2005 to 2007, which allow for very detailed analysis, show that even before the recession there were only a tiny number of majority-immigrant occupations.

If you feel that sorry for them, donate as much as you can afford to help the countries they come from. Make it better to stay there.

Remember those that first came here and saw the Statue of liberty, came here legally.

As the saying goes, "you can't reason, with an unreasonable person".
Well that's a good idea. Why not you try that. Or is that an unreasonable thing to ask of you?

This will never, never, never happen. Please get out a copy of the U.S. Constitution and read it. You'll learn some things that will really surprise you!
The constitution is being amended upon each and every decade; there are changes that are made.

Just for the funny of it, try being a foreigner and go through INS seeking legal authorization to come into this country. See how far you can get going through the proper channels?

Ok, then that is what CIR should be about. It should be about improving and expediating the legal process. It shouldn't be about giving amnesty to the millions already here.

How can anyone be pro illegal?


It's easy actually, I've spent a good deal of time in C and S America and loved it, really like the people, I speak the language and enjoy the culture. They are, for the most part, good, hard working human beings who do not expect handouts. They are flocking to this country for the exact same reasons my family did back in the 1680's. How can I reasonably fault them for acting just as my family did, just with better manners. I mean, they are not just taking over land, assuming it is theirs and pushing the locals off, or killing them like our forefathers did.

You had better go back and read the stats again. They are supporting our side of the argument, not the pro-illegal side. CIS is an anti-illegal immigration site.
