America is, was, and always will be a nation of immigrants - legal and illegal - Go back a few generations and probably most of your own ancestors were guilty of the same, get the fuck over it.

Far-L I am all for Immigrant workers! Don't get me wrong however each and everyone of them should get a work visa before they cross the border!
I am an American that has immigrated to Canada, I know what its like to immigrate to another country. Its a process that keeps criminals out and lets law abiding people in.
I had to get background checks and FBI criminal reports to prove I was not a criminal trying to get in. I also had to sign paperwork that said I would not be a burden on the welfare system and that I needed to have my own private insurance the government was not going to cover me.
It also regulates and makes sure you leave when your time is up (or you apply for an extension) I had to apply for an extension 5 times while I immigrated and each time I had to travel back to the border and get a stamp in my passport and a new temp resident visa.
Make people come across legally and they can work the fields, pay taxes, not live on welfare from US government and go home when their done! We have enough welfare issues with our own people we don't need Mexico and the rest of south Americas poverty being shipped across the border unchecked.
