Your post (the OP) actually made me somewhat angry.Your broad generalisation of these people as being immoral is somewhat offensive to me.

When you consider that these people are risking their lives to survive on the absolute minimum of what the USA offers is an indication of what they are leaving behind. For the most part illegals are just people seeking a better life, especially for their children, than the one they were leaving behind. You're speaking from a position of privelege casting down judgement in my opinion.

Also your post almost entirely relies on a flawed premise. Illegality does not mean immorality. Breaching the immigration laws of the USA does not automatically make these people any less moral in my opinion.

 

 

"As for "exporting the American Dream."  How exactly does the US do this?   Because other countries like American TV and Movies?  If people want that lifestyle... shouldn't they try and change their countries into said lifestyle?"

Are you kidding me Kasz? How the hell is a poor worker from Mexico meant to change their country into a first world economy? For the vast majority of people in the world there is actually no way to acheive that lifestyle, you can't make it if you try.
