I think that it's ironic that a lot of (maybe most?) illegal immigrants are self-selecting for the kind of perseverance, risk taking, and work ethic that we think of as being the American character. These are people that are willing to take on huge risks and work multiple low-wage jobs to give their kids an opportunity to succeed. You'd think we'd try to capitalize on that.
I agree that there is some difference between those who "follow the rules" and those who don't, but I don't necessarily think that it is what some are portraying here. Far more illegal immigrants are willing to worker harder for a little opportunity than are looking for a free ride in a rich country.
