Excellentn point and I whole-heartedly agree.

I would much rather have these people as citizens. People that will work to support their families, accept the lower wages and work to improve themselves and their lot in life, rather than many "Americans" who believe that society "owes" them a living.

I used to work in a union environment (I was non-union) and it was unbelievable how much people wanted "handed" to them because they "deserved it" rather than worked for it.

In defense of the natives - the last census showed that immigrants are more than twice as likely to be recieving public assistence as the native born. Recent studies have shown the average illegal immigrant family receives $7k more in benefits than they pay in taxes. As many as a quarter of the inmates in federal prisons are illegal.

I have to wonder... has it become too much to ask for some control at the border so that only people who are of benefit not only to certain employers, but to the whole of the country as well?
