I submit that if the situation were as bad as you say, the “American” thing to do would be to fight to make the situation there better. America is as much a set of values as it is a physical place...
No, they are coming for the benefits and not much more.
Query. Have you ever seen a USA/Mexico soccer game played in the US? We’re the “road” team even if the game is in Chicago or Columbus. Illegals have little respect for America other than what it will do for them. Hmmmm, a Kennedy said something about that once...

I just made the same comment about soccer games played here between Mexico and USA.
If this were true, they would not be sending $20 billion of earnings back home to relatives in Mexico.
Why not keep it all for themselves?
I agree with your point about fighting for something better, but Americans need to think more realistically about the desperate global conditions. I often say to people you need to support war. If you cannot support war then you can expect immigration.
Human beings are never going to just sit back and accept death as a text from various global oppressors. We have a pretty good border enforcement system with Cuba. yet every year more than 3000 Cubans risk shark infested waters, Coast guard retrieval and return, death or Jail by Castro in order to maybe get in to the US illegally.
I remember FR being sympathetic to Eliane Gonzales. I guess now everyone here is glad he got sent home. he was just another Illegal alien.
Get em all.
