Wow. I cannot believe some of the comments. It is clear that most of you do not understand the World Systems Theory or have not experienced the migrant labor culture. It is also evident that most of the commentators have not looked at the statistical data concerning income and/or benefits. Also, illegal immigrants are at a disadvantage because they risk expulsion since they do not have "papers"--meaning they are paid at lower rates and struggle for their variant income.
Without hard-working migrants, we would be paying $3 for 1 head of lettuce. Unless the anti-migrant movement doesn't mind paying triple prices for produce.
Mexico should make American companies pay decent money to their workers instead of them paying sweat shop wages. I don't blame them for leaving mexico and heading to the US or Canada for work. Mexico has to change!!
it does have to change. unfortunately most if not all of the power and authority is in the hands of the corrupt who would let their people starve in a heartbeat
It is true that illegal migrant workers earn far more than they do in their native country. However, they have stopped living in their native country and do so in the host country where their cost of living is determined on a different rate scale. As such, they're not winners but rather double loosers; not able to make a living at home and being exploited as slave labor in the host country without any civil rights whatsoever.
mmm oh dear.. you should try to find out more information about illegals before making any comments.. if they really were getting all those free stuff I would like to be illegal..

This has been flagged as spam show
Someone sneaks into OUR country, unwelcome, unwanted,
stealing jobs($2 TRILLION+ of wages yearly),
and social services($336 BILLION YEARLY)
from the US born/legal immigrants of all races,
but it's not stealing? Undocumented?
You mean ILLEGAL, BREAKING THE LAW DAILY, right?
Illegal = Illegal, STEALING = STEALING.
I WELCOME those of ALL races who obey the law. Hopping a fence,
illegally, bringing disease, crime, and poverty, is NOT immigration of ANY sort.
It's INVASION by foreign nationals.

Hispanic activists say illegal aliens are "oppressed people".
Illegals are NOT oppressed!! First, illegals earn about 4 - 6 times what they earn in Mexico. Also, illegals get:
- free health care
- free K-12 education for their anchor babies
- free food stamps for their anchor babies
- free federal welfare checks for their anchor babies
- WIC (nutrional program for babies)
- EIC (Earned Income Tax credits up to $4,200/year)
- Low income housing subsidies
Opressed?? Give me a break!!
