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

[Evelyn j]

they do stay and try and fix their countries, but it is really difficult when half the time the US intervenes on the wrong side helping keep oppressive governments in charge to protect interest of US investors. just look at the histories of El Salvador, Guatemala, Colombia, the US even has played a role in Mexico.

half the reason immigrants come here is because of political turmoil in their home countries. you can not sit here and hold such an opinion when you are ignorant of the latin American history and US involvement.

also ask yourself the question why do we grant special immigration rights to cubans and not other latin americans? just because they come from a socialist country doesn't mean their situations are worse (which i highly doubt) then those other latin Americans dealing with several issues. cubans come the same way as any other illegal immigrant, we just allow them to come that way.
