To be fair, entering the country illegally does make it harder to get a job then legally meaning it's more likely you'd have to enter a life of crime.  


Entering the country illegally is entering a life of crime. You first have to be ok with committing a crime against the US government before you even step into the country.

Most Mexicans are upstanding people, and don't wish to do that. The ones that are ok with it, is the pool your pulling from when you talk about illegal immigration.

i think most people would do it depending on their own situation.

It's hard to make a comparison unless we can state that roughly that illegal immigrants have generally the same economic and social makeup as those who have legally come here or have put in requests to do so.

It could be that a lot of the ones who come here illegally are just poorer.

It's really up in the air.

I don't know have the exact numbers.   Interestingly a lot of people who sneak it do have advanced qualfications but I don't have exact numbers.  Some of these people are like... electrical engineers.

Whether the group is as large as the legal ones coming from mexico and other south american countries... i'm unsure.
