I honestly have no idea how Americans can deny this or defend it.
Defend what? The only thing these 'poor, bad' people want is a better way of life. Mostly the downtrodden and oppressed (mixed with a few bad apples), the propaganda is they are all bad. The real criminals are in the government in both countries.
Way to go blaming the poor for whats wrong, again.

The propaganda is that they are all good. The real criminals are in the government you are correct. So that means we ignore immigration laws?
The real criminals are on the corner selling crack why are you wasting time giving me a speeding ticket officer?

You know what cuts into builder's profits? Government regulation, Government policies, Government protectionism of primarily union labor run companies, and Government inaction on things that adversely affect the building industry.
...
People have ALWAYS been willing to do these jobs right here in the USA. Just not for slave wages with no protections.
Believe that and you'll sell me a bridge right?

I say we just give them statehood and build the wall on the Southern border. With Mexico as a state, many of them will prefer to just stay in state. Everyone would be part of the construction industry overnight as the economic windfall will come from developing their infrastructure and bringing dwellings and all structures up to code.
Then we move on to Cuba and PR as states as well. Turning these into states will keep their populations at home and provide us established Americans with the opportunity to make money developing these places into code.

It's ignorant now to see things for yourself and make judgements based on personal experience??

Did you ever stop and think not every brown person speaking Spanish was illegal? I live in So Cal too, less than 100 miles from the border. Not being over ran out here.

Well, you are gullible enough for Donald Trump to "sell" you a wall.

Problem is they ALL READY built a wall on their southern boarder. They also SHOOT anyone tring to cross it. I guess they don't want the South Americans crossing into their country.
Go figure that one
So as a legal US citizen how many crimes Am I allowed before I'm classified as a criminal? (0 is the correct answer.)
You know what? Most of them want the illegals gone also. I think they may dislike them more then I do.

Nope, the answer is as many as you can get away with.

Well if a YouTube video says Trump is right then it must be true. Fun fact, more Mexicans are leaving the US then entering.

Donald Trump? Oh you mean the man who in 1998 is quoted as saying verbatim
"If I were to run, I'd run as a Republican. They're the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they'd still eat it up. I bet my numbers would be terrific."
You can't make this stuff up. His own words, cannot be trusted. YouTube can! 'Murika!

You have an agenda to blame the US for all of the worlds problems. Im tired of the anti US sentiment.
I bet you were one of those people chanting "U-S-A, U-S-A, in front of Bush, weren't you?
Talk about (blind) nationalism...

All I am asking is our laws need to be enforced. People can come here but do it the right way.
