They could watch their family die. I support Mexicans to come up here for work in order to help their families.

I agree with you Will, absolutely. I think the immigration laws need some reform. But like I said before, it's an issue of legality.
Um, I'm not sure why you are only referring to Mexico. I think all peoples deserve a shot at living the US dream so long as they follow the rules. ALL of my immigrant friends, Mexicans included (yes it can be done) did it the legal way. Half of my family (the half not born here) did it the legal way even if it did take 15 years. 15 years, but we still followed the rules.
Part of the issue is about special treatment. It seems like they, the illegals from south of the border are always crying about wanting special treatment, to cut the line. The rest of us immigrated legally, why can't they? Are you (not you, you but the collective you) saying that they are too stupid or incapable to do it the legal way and need "special help"?
If there's something wrong with the law then change the law.
