I'm all for legal immigrants. I work with 2 of them here, and we have a wonderful refugee resettlement program that does amazing things. It's just...it's the people who come in illegally and expect there to be no ramifications if they're caught out (no matter how long they've been here) with whom I take big issue.
I dunno. I just think if some of the illegal immigrants spent as much time and energy fighting for their rights in their own countries, things might slowly change so that coming here to take advantage of our (quickly decaying) economy isn't necessarily their 'only' option.
