But, I clearly am in the minority in my belief, and doubt it will change any time soon. There was a reason for the inscription on the Statue of Liberty. Sadly, it is not nearly as true anymore...

I would agree that they come here for a better life but I think we are really talking about two different groups of Mexicans. One group goes through what it takes to do it the legal way to establish a place for their family so they have a better life. The other group are the illegals that come here to make money and ship it home so their family has a better life. The second group is the one that takes away jobs and resources because everything they do is done under the table.
