Your sympathy for illegal immigrants is misplaced. It is true that they are usually hard-working, but the fact is that they are not productive members of society. They don't pay taxes, and they are breaking the law just by being here. The only reason a citizen pays taxes is to take advantage of the benefits of living in the country; defense, health care, education, the ability to vote, etc. By providing these things to illegals there is no justification for taxing citizens for the privilege. Without funding those things would not exist!
Illegal aliens are just trying to make their lives better, but so are muggers. The pursuit of happiness is a right given to citizens; if you are not a citizen, you don't get that right.
