Here's an anecdote from my day. I was walking in my neighborhood, which includes a middle school. It was about time for school to let out and there was this guy with an ice cream cart.

As I passed him, I smiled and noticed his baseball cap said "Made in the U.S.A" with a nice flag embroidered on it. So I said, "I like your cap." He just grinned. Anyway, I tried to pursue the conversation, but he said "no inglees." I didn't believe him but I finally resorted to Spanish. Basically, I wanted to know if he'd like to become a citizen. And I said this is the greatest country in the world, why not become a citizen?

He agreed, Yes, for the "dinero." I said Oh but there's so much more, such as freedom. He claimed there is freedom in Mexico, which is a lie. Anyway, when I say the illegals are here just to use us, it's not speculation, it's because of "interviews" like this that I do. They're here purely for money. MORE money than they could earn in Mexico.

They could survive back in Mexico, but come here and they can support a village.
