Most people who come here illegally, especially from Mexico, are just looking to survive, looking to make a few bucks and support their families. Who can argue with that?
That said, the history of America shows that, time and again, the people with the big bucks make money and keep power by keeping the guy one rung up from the bottom of the ladder fighting with the guy standing on the ground below him, to keep his place.
You can rant about the law all you want, but if American business didn't want the illegals here for low-wage work, they wouldn't be here at all. Want to keep illegals out of the country? Set up a system where business has to verify the ID of every hire against an automated national database, or face heavy fines or even jail terms. That'd do it. Do you see anybody proposing this? No way. Instead, Bush and company want to find ways to legally import "illegals" for short times for their labor, then ship them back home.
If you don't want illegals here in large numbers, you know who to blame. And it's not the illegals themselves.
