Illegal immigration doesn't anger me either.... HOWEVER that's because I already live here.

As it is, Illegal Immigration makes it so that people make it harder for other immigrants to get here legally and rob the country of a more diverse population. (since heavily favors nearby countries.)

Illegal immigrants are counted as part of the census and effect immigration numbers.

Additionally, the people who come here essentially live as second class "citizens" with no basic access to things like healthcare and are easy victims for abuse.

If I was  poor in Zimbabwe or Zambia or Gaza or something with no country that's easy to sneak too, poor and looking for a way out...?   I'd be super pissed. 

 

 

That said... it is a shame that we don't have 12 million or so more legal citizens of mixed nationalites here.   Racial diversity mostly seems to have positive benefts, and racial diversity goes way past "Not white".

Well said Kasz. I am a legal immigrant working with an H1B visa atm. What pisses me off about illegal immigration is exactly that. It makes it harder for high skilled workers like me path to residency. I don't need citizenship. Residency is more than enough. But of course, my people came in masses and it's now next to impossible to even attempt to get a job legally through work visas.
