In short, poor, uneducated immigrants without family in the US have virtually no chance of getting in legally.

Yes, this is true. I'm sure several billion people worldwide, with or without high-level skills and education, would like to immigrate to the U.S. if they could.

I still don't know what you mean by the U.S. immigration system being an impossibility. Are you suggesting the U.S. let everyone enter and stay because they want to live in the U.S.?

You know the difference between legal and illegal immigration or should I break it down for you?
You know darn well that there is a significant anti-immigrant of any kind sentiment among many Americans.

It doesn't help when those immigrants come to the United States illegally and are from the uneducated, lower classes of their countries.

I have family members and acquaintances who do support illegal migration. I think many people do but won't outright admit it.

Whenever I ask the question "Do you condone illegal migration?" on CD, those who oppose it straightforwardly say "No." Those who I suspect condone it equivocate, obfuscate, or refuse to answer. It's funny to see how they don't have the guts to stand up for their belief and give a straightforward "Yes."

At any rate, I always get an answer, even if it's not direct.

You better read it again. Especially Secition 1.

SCOTUS held that in United States v. Wong Kim Ark in 1898 under the Fourteenth Amendment, a man born within the United States to Chinese citizens who have a permanent domicile and residence in the United States and are carrying out business in the United States—and whose parents were not employed in a diplomatic or other official capacity by a foreign power—was a citizen of the United States.

This Canadian has finished this USA Civics Class for today. Now go enjoy the rest of it and drive like you know us.

Of course there is. It exists in every country on earth. Why would you think otherwise?

The biggest violators are those who pay human smugglers thousands of dollars to cross our border illegally. They also send back thousands in remittances. Yet they qualify for free health care. How is that remotely fair.
