Illegal Aliens or Illegal Mexicans?

So it seems as if illegals are all categorized as individuals who leech off the system, using anchor babies as leverage in this discussion. What about the illegals who travel here to have an opportunity of a better life? Who is anyone to tell them they should forget that dream. The anchor babies you speak of have grown up over the years and suffer from what the parent's irrational way of immigrating here. Where is their solution to becoming legal citizens, when it wasn't their decision to arrive here in the first place.

There are many different cases, yet this discussion board is only recognizing one. We have individuals who cross the border, individuals who come here on a visa and overstay the stated period, people who come here for protection from their own country...

I can only sigh, at individuals who are so one sided. Just cause people here feel it is their right to say who should be able to stay or go in this country. Many illegals pay taxes as well, and just as many Americans if not more, evade taxes. Yet we never seem to compare that fact.

Stopping illegal immigrations has always been a issue. But for many it wasn't their intent in the first place, just like it wasn't for many Americans to be in debt, it just happened wrong. As far as not having amnesty for illegal is like not giving immigrations any sort of chance to fix their problem.

Overall, not all illegals are uneducated. Just because the typical stereotyping of Mexican's crossing the border. What about Pacific-Asians, Europeans...some which have a higher education demographic than the United States. Simply understand, people who have made the mistake of coming to this country illegally, should have a opportunity of fixing their status. No one, and I repeat no one, should have the right to tell who should be allowed to stay anywhere. Believe it or not, some American's actually illegally immigrate to other countries, it just so happens that other countries aren't as unwelcoming of them to do so.

Whether we're from United States, United Kingdom, Mexico, Russia I can keep going. We're not all born equal. Some were fortunate to be born in a country of much more opportunity. So whatever happens this year with immigration reform. Please don't be stubborn to understand, we were all once immigrants, don't forget that. Immigration reform should be equally valued and weighed, then decided. Remember this is the land of the free. I'm Asian, and I have no Mexican heritage. But I speak for Mexican individuals who stand on the same side I do.

So please I urge everyone discussing this matter, not to stereotype every visitor who travel here to be the same, cause we are not the same. But we do have the same desire to live here in harmony, also believe me when I say this, most Mexican's might not speak English fluently, but they work twice as hard than an legitimate worker, for half the wage.
