I know dozens of immigrants from all over the world, and none have the hatred for those wanting to be in the U.S. that you do. You think those immigrants would want to shut-down immigration before they get the chance to move their relatives over here?

And so the legality of those immigrants is not the issue.
Legal immigrants are allowed to bring their relatives here.
And so, the illegals suck attitude morphs into a more general anti immigration viewpoint.

Most moved their immediate families over here when they got their visa's. Many were on Student Visa's (particularly those from Africa and the Middle-east), and a few were on sponsored Visa's from extended family. Only 2 were came here illegally, and both were from Mexico. My friend from Haiti told me he would have been here illegally except for the amnesty that was issued a few weeks before the boat he traveled on left, and my Cuban friends (who still have immediate family in Cuba) who are here due to the automatic amnesty they are afforded.
They don't like illegal immigration, but they understand the desire to get to America since they love this country so much. They sure don't want people to die trying to reach our shores, nor would they advocate shooting them as they came across the border.
