Dan, I do proudly live in US and would not live anywhere else. The America my friend is about freedom. I am not for illegal immigration, but unless you have been in position to experience what kind of conditions force people into going through the nightmare which is illegal immigration you have no clue what you are talking about.

Most of people that immigrate illegally are taking that pretty much as last option. You have to be desperate to do that. Have you ever been that desperate? Kicking them all out is simply inhumane.

Regarding your cook job, that has nothing to do with illegal immigrants, it is called free market and jobs get valued and devalued as the normal course of the free economy evolution.

10 years ago I was paying 99c for gas and now I pay $3, are you going to blame immigrants for that too?

When I was 16, in Columbus Ohio, I could get a grill cook job in any restaurant for about $9.00/hour. Now, ten years later, a grill cook job in Columbus, Ohio pays about $7.00/hour. This is a direct result of the massive influx of illegal immigration we've seen. Meanwhile, lower income and unskilled American workers end up out on the street.

Do you know why its called illegal immigration? Because its illegal.

Every county has immigration policy, its not something the US made up.

I'd suggest watching this video before further commenting on issues you have little to no knowledge of..
