people love anything that's free. I'm sure if starbucks offered one small free cup of coffee,there would be a line around the block. Are if someone offered one free donut,there would be a line 10 miles long. I think it has to do more with that,then any immigration thing.


But the question is "Why are we so angry"? Immigration is part of America's history. What has changed now?


I'm all for immigration however they are willing to work for half what they should be making. The worst part the people using these immigrants as cheap labor are still selling products and services at a higher price. The second part, immigrants come from all over the globe yet we have more illegals from Latin/Spanish descent. Why is that? Why do higher percentage of immigrants try to legally enter our country that do not come from Spanish descent?

When I was a teenager I mowed my neighbors lawn for 20$ a pop. Then by the end of the summer I was fired because 4 Mexicans came along for 60$ a week not per visit and mowed trimmed and once a month pulled weeds. How can 1 person compete with that? Again they are willing to work for almost no money. It's a problem that simple changes to  labor laws could resolve. 

We don't need to hate on anyone or cause problems for anyone race ; however, if we change our laws and prevent this work from going to immigrants they will stop coming. 

Another issue I have is they are not protected either. Most have construction jobs yet have no benefits or disability insurance. They all pay taxes because their employees has to pay those items yet they don't receive any social security etc etc. if they had health insurance maybe we wouldn't have such a burden on the healthcare system. 

Remocing the 14th amendment would be a starting point. 

You want to come here no problem do it the right way.
