Why don't illegals stay home and make their own countries better instead of polluting the US?

Perhaps you should investigate and become involved in ensuring that people who come from 3rd world countries have access to all the tools they need to become part of our culture, without losing their own identity.

Chloe, the only "selfish" ones I see are illegal aliens and their supporters. The only thing they care about is THEIR well-being. As for the "Third World" ploy, the intent of having foreign students in this country is for them to take their know-how back to their home countries and make them better. Same goes for illegal aliens, particularly the "students" pushing for the Dream Act. Even someone with a high school education could make a heck of a difference in his home country--if they weren't selfishly concerned about trying to hang on here to make life better for themselves. For that matter, Mexico is one of the wealthiest countries in the world and home to one of the world's richest men. Where is MEXICO's concern for making life better for its own citizens? 40% or so of illegal aliens come here on visitor's visas which they overstay. To get a visitor's visa (or student or other non immigrant visa), people from Third World countries typically have to show their intent to return home by listing property, bank accounts, jobs, and family members. In short, they're among the wealthier people of their country. Yet, rather than being concerned about the welfare of their home country, they'd rather come here to try for "more". Furthermore, illegal aliens do not care about the negative impact they have on Americans, in terms of jobs and use of social services. They think that we're a "piggy bank" and that healthcare and education are really "free"--because THEY don't have to pay for it, we do. No, Chloe, as I said before, the selfish ones are illegal aliens.

No, Starbaby, the only crops rotting in fields are ones doing so because of drought, not because of a lack of someone to pick them. California, for example, has more than enough workers (and if there were a shortage of workers, wages would be rising. They aren't.) Furthermore, farmers don't always WANT to harvest crops for the simple reason that there is sometimes already an OVERSUPPLY of a crop in the market driving prices down and the farmer wouldn't get enough to cover the cost of picking it.

And Wandi, just what "race" is "illegal"? I'd say the "racism" is in YOUR mind.
