Why would you want to work in Canada or Mexico without papers?
You'd have to be pretty hard up to do that. Imagine how hard up you'd have to be, and then someone comes along and throws you in prison!
crikey.
that's a bit rough. Just for that.
Oh well, don't do it then, no problem!!

If you're looking for support I'll back you in the fact that it costs taxpayers, but that's it.
I have no problem with people coming to the greatest country in the world to find a better life for them, and their family.
The fix is in our taxation. Instead of deporting or arresting these people let's give out easy to get work permits, put them on equal footing with American workers so they pay taxes, and can't take jobs from us because they work cheaper.
Just a thought.
I don't suppose any legal citizens do that, do they?
The women would lie and say they were a one income household and ended up getting cheap housing, food stamps, medical...when in actuality they were above the poverty limit.
So the OP should stay here and work then retire in Mexico. That's a much better idea.
They saved money here and seeing that our money was worth so much more in their own country, they would return and live a nice little lives for themselves.
There must be a reason for that. The OP seems to want to blame the government for "allowing" it. Isn't it the fault of the employers who hire people without proper documentation? If they weren't hired there wouldn't be much point in them crossing the border, right? They couldn't enter the workforce.
And no, it does not take millions of illegals to work in fields and most illegals have moved beyond the fields and into many other areas of the workforce.
