Again, if they came here LEGALLY and I was looking down upon them I'm in agreement with you. I don't understand how someone could do that. But to not have disdain for those who came illegally, sorry, not in my backyard, you can open your home to them.

I think what dc_dux is getting at is that you have your liberty, your country to back you up, your home, and your family. Illegal immigrants usually only have a family, and they work damn hard to earn the other things on that list, just as you have.
And for the record, no, I do not get ANYTHING for free. My parents paid the price to come here illegally (including selling everything they owned...it's not as easy as some seem to think), after they applied legally and nothing was done. They work hard and pay taxes, as they have always done. When they got the opportunity they both got naturalized, and my mother became a US citizen. I paid taxes the moment I started working and I continue to pay taxes. I've not been given ANYTHING for free since the day I was born.
You see, we aren't that much different after all.
