Do you like illegal immigrants

This is a huge problem where I live in California and I don't know.. it is bad but then again I am sure a lot of us risked a lot to be in CA too. We're all immigrants at one point or another unless you're Indian.. native American people. so.. I don't know what to think -__-

If they want to be here, they should go here through the proper channels. I understand why they would want to come here to get away from a better life. However, there are no excuses for not following something. Not to mention they are taking jobs away from people who are here, including immigrants who went through the proper channel. Because business owners can get them for cheap and threaten to call services on them, if they step one foot out of line. It might sound mean, but that's what's going on. People who come here the right way, I have no problem, welcome to the country. People who do not come here, I feel no sympathy for you should you get caught. Therefore, you have to come through the proper channels. Otherwise you have no right to be in this country and to also raise up the taxes to pay for someone who should not be here.

As a Canadian who winters in The Rio Grande Valley of South Texas USA, I have no axe to grind. But I know what I see, and Its almost inhuman. The RGV here in South Texas is a fertile Garden-land in a desert. The Rio Grande River forms the border with Mexico, and irrigates 75000 acres of vegetables and citrus fruit. Harvesting these diverse crops is an ongoing drudge of hand work that is difficult and exhausting. Its a job that white Americans won't do. Mexican immigrants (usually illegal) swim the treacherous waters of the Rio Grande, at the risk of their lives to work from daylight till dark, 7 days a week, month after month, for less than half the legal minimum wage. Without the illegals 75000 acres of garden crops would rot in the ground!

I believe so to, we need to focus on illegal immigration as a key factor in our society,because it's the U.S. citizens who suffer. The tax rates are high enough already and i don't believe we should have to pay more taxes to support the illegal immagrants.
