This is a huge problem. They come here and get benefits for their kids and any money they make they send back to their own country to stimulate their economy. No wonder Mexico doesn't try to stop them from crossing the border. It makes them to much money.

I love what they do for this country and 99% of them are good people but they do need to be legal as long as they are not a Felon and pay a small fine bc they Cannot afford a large fine and go back to the End of the line ?it just wont happen that's why the politicians are out of touch let them come forward pay a small fine pay taxes have enforcement and lock down the border.

They can buy a decent home for their family with 1 years income here in tha states.

People from other countries have to work hard to become citizens. It's not fair for imigrants here legally to make exceptions for the illegal aliens of one country (Mexico).
