You know, I don’t really blame the illegal aliens for coming here. The way things are, they’d have to be morons not to. I blame our government for the problem.

I don't either and I don't even distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants much because there are some illegals I can respect because they only intend to work a few years and would like to return home and some illegals aren't using free health care or schools (some actually left families behind in Mexico and send money home) but many of the legals you see around here will not likely ever work unless they absolutely must. Also many legals are the elderly being brought in by their now legal children so they can enjoy a life on SSI and Medicaid here, they're not coming to work or be productive or pay any taxes, they are coming strictly to use our system. People would be amazed at how fraudulent the "sponsor" program of immigrants is.

Also if you were someone in a country like Mexico who really thought the idea of not working for a living at all but instead liked the idea of living off taxpayers, it would only make perfect sense to get to the US. They don't have welfare at all in Mexico so of course we're going to get all those types and some of the type who really will work for a living but like a higher pay than $3 a day.
