i think a lot of people take this issue too personally. my main viewpoint is if you think america or any country can absorb an unlimited number of immigrants, legal or not every year, you better start asking yourself what people are going to do when there are more people than jobs. especially when jobs are leaving north america at record rates right now. in a perfect world 'the golden rule' and the 'american dream' would work all the time but its not and it doesn't. the american dream becomes more of a hoax every year. a good percentage either end up homeless or right back where they came from, angry and disillusioned. who could blame them. if i was in the situation they were, i'd do whatever it takes to make my life better too.
i had a friend who lived in mexico, they weren't rich but they had computers, the internet, PS2, ect. the pictures he sent of his hometown looked better than most american cities, beautiful really. they had more than those who live below the poverty line in north america. so it is possible to live a decent life there.
instead of getting angry at the people who only want to protect their way of life, get angry at the governments who exploit their own people, the US companies who expliot the mexican people (amoung many others). the US government who knowingly supports it. we're all just caught in the middle of big business doing what it does best, making a profit by whatever means necessary.
