They aren't hurting anyone for the most part. Except the people who want to come legally, and those of use who have to pay for their medical care via emergency rooms, public education, and other gov't services ...
PS - I'm married to a LEGAL immigrant - don't play the race card with me ...

What race card did I play? First off I do not know what race you are. Second, I am white.
The reason most illegals do not come legally is because they can't afford to go through the process. The middle class and wealthy Mexicans could care less about coming to the united states.
Ok, your point on the medical care only reinforces my support for Bushes stance on immigration. If everyone becomes documented then the workers will pay taxes, we will know who is in our country, and employers will be able to hire cheap labor without fear of prosecution.. Also, the ones with records will end up going back to their home country because they will not be able to pass the background checks.
