I became a naturalized citizen last year. My family came here legally from Central America, after waiting for over 2 years to get the correct documentation. Now, let me tell you two short stories:
1. A friend of ours decided he did not want to go through the paperwork to come here legally, so he decided to enter the US illegally. He started in El Salvador, made it through Guatemala, then got caught by authorities in Mexico. He disappeared for 3 weeks, before Mexican authorities dumped him in Guatemala. He was held in jail and was denied any phone calls, an attorney or a trial. He was beaten and interrogated (they wanted to know if there was a Coyote sneaking him into Mexico). Now, these same people are crossing into our country illegally and demanding that they be made legal? Does the word hypocrite mean anything to you?
2. I know several other families that came here legally at about the same time as us. Most of their family members went to work as janitors and construction workers. A few years ago, they started losing their jobs. All were replaced by illegal aliens working for cash. I know of one instance in particular, where a gal who was making $10.50/hour was fired and replaced by an illegal alien earning $6.25/hour under the table. I know this because another one of her coworkers, who was later fired, spoke to the new hire and got all the info. Similar situations took place with their husbands working construction. Of the 4 the I know, only 1 still has a job, earning just as much now, as he was 5 year ago.
Several of these people have now gone back to their country, because nobody will hire them anymore. Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE HERE LEGALLY AND EXPECT LEGAL WAGES!
You also talk about them being able to purchase SS#'s off the street. THAT'S CALLED IDENTITY THEFT! They don't just make these numbers up. The name has to match the SS#, or the IRS will send them a letter.
I'd suggest you take off your rose colored glasses and come in to the real world where US Citizens and legal aliens are negatively affected by the flow of illegals into this country.

WOW< thanks for sharing your story!
I have a question though, are you implying that Mexico wants to keep the illegal alien jobs in the US just for the Mexicans?
No, what I am saying is that Mexico won't even allow your children to attend school if you are not there legally (never mind how they treat you if they catch you there illegally,) yet they come here and call us racist for wanting to enforce our borders.
