I don't think anyone doubts you are a fine upstanding American.
However, you do yourself a disservice when you align yourself with the trash blowing over from the gutters of Mexico. My upper-class Mexican friends here love to laugh and tease me about how Americans are such suckers for taking in the most useless among the Mexican population, and how clever Mexico is for dumping them on us. It would be rather as if the US had an organized government policy to send the people of Appalachia and the black ghettos to immigrate illegally to Canada as a stratagem to reduce the American welfare rolls and crime rates.
I think we all know there are many hardworking, decent Hispanics who come to the US, and frankly, I'd much rather have them than any Muslims. At the same time, there is a large element of useless loafers coming here thanks to the generosity of far too many places outside of Texas.
By the way, what part of legal don't you understand?
