I feel for illegals, I really do, and honestly I'm not 100% when it comes to this topic, but...
they're here illegaly.
And the U.S. is suppose to be a country of immigrants.
It is quite unfair how the last wave of immigrants have closed the door on the new wave, when they should be sympathetic.
All immigrants got here one way through paying for their fees here and/or taking tests on Ellis Island (For example). Now correct me if I'm wrong I don't recall a period in time where people could just walk in here without paying compensation of sorts and become a legal U.S citizen.
But like I said earlier, I understand your point.
The biggest misunderstanding that people have about gaining citizenship is that you just ask for citizenship test and they give it to you. Now a days it is not that simple and allot harder than it use to be and crossing illegally is their only hope of feeding their families.
Really the sad truth is that the U.S. immigration system is horrible
But at least you have an open mind
I can see why people would cross illegally. Just watching the show Border Wars and listening to all of the stories that captured immigrants tell is just so sad. There was this one lady that had come all the way from Brazil and spent $3000 to get to the border, only to be caught. She said that now her house would be foreclosed since she was under a tremendous debt and couldn't pay any of it. Would I try to cross if I was in that situation? Heck yeah, but despite it, it is still creating a huge problem for legal Americans because all of these third-class immigrants are flooding our economy, and taking our jobs. Our jobs should be reserved ONLY for Americans, not for other people. Whether it's sad or not, it is still creating a huge problem for us. I blame the governments more than anything for putting their people through this.
