Wow ----I know an illegal very much like that ----he was gone for 2 years working in the US, sending money home to his wife, he went back for a visit and found his wife with a brand-new born baby. Nothing to go back for anymore. You kind of feel for these people.

While illegal immigration is wrong, and I do see what it is doing to this country, I do sympathize with them in trying to improve their lot in life. I've spent a lot of time in Mexico and places further south, and the plight of the poor is beyond belief. A lot of the ranchers in Mexico do try to help their workers, however, they can only do so much or they incur the wrath of the really wealthy who control them! It's a catch 22.

And, the men come over here and start a NEW family. I know personally of one such situation. Will NOT support the wife and children in Mexico. This is widespread and will lead to disaster.

One more comment. To immigrate legally into this country, it takes money. Lots of it. Out of a thousand legal immigrants from Mexico, ONE might be a meztiso, indian, or mexican, the rest are from the upper middle class or better with the money.
In India, I went to our embassy in New Dehli, to get some papers stamped. Upon entering embassy row, I was really impressed by the wide streets, beautiful trees, huge embassies, armed military on all the street corners....
I never saw a single Indian at any of the other embassies.
Got to ours, saw a line four wide and about 200 yards long with Indians waiting to apply for visas. All were clutching paper work and thousands of ruppees. Every single one upper class with the bucks.
The only way a poor person can get here is under the wire or through the river.
