But people have this belief that somehow the illegal immigrants are coming over just to cause us problems. They are not. These aren't people wanting to bring down the U.S., these are people wanting a better life and risking everything for that. Those with reasoned opposition to illegal immigration, many of whom are represented here today, do not share the belief expressed in the fist sentence of yours quoted above.
On the other hand, your second sentence is patently false. While they may not intentionally desire to cause problems, they indeed do cause problems; not the least of which is the $300 Billion sent to Mexico (Mexico's claim) last year, making expatriate investment Mexico's 2nd largest source of income. Additionally, crime among young hispanics is approaching traditional black-on-black numbers and the financial burden placed on hospitals in border states/counties is horrendous.

I didn't say they "don't cause", I said they "don't want to cause". Big difference. Many believe that these illegals "want" to cause us problems. They don't. The problems exist, but not because of the illegals intent.
