Why do Mexicans come to the US illegally?

Actually thats not true. They come to America just like ALL immigrant nationalities Italians, Polish, Russian, Canadian, German, etc. to seek a better life for themselves and their families. THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON IMMIGRANTS. They work jobs that MOST Americans are either too proud to work at with such minimum salary for survival needs. They don't qualify for benefits or anything else, and they do work very hard. Many people are absolutely clueless on subjects such as these, but make nonsense comments to boards as obviously they don't have enough work to do themselves and really should take jobs that the immigrants do, END OF STORY.

Want to know why they come here illegally? Because they can't wait 10 years for America to say no. Actually, they don't come here to live, they come here to work. Most of the mexicans you see that come over are from really poor Mexican regions. Yes they are the ones in the fields, in kitchens, the ones tending to your gardens, the ones that take the low paying job that you are to proud to take. They are usually uneducated and are desprate to help their families. Contrary from what we think, Mexicans don't come here for the rights or the benifits or the freedom. I really don't get it when people say they just come here to take advantage of the rights and the benifits etc. That's just doesn't sound right. Did you know you could go to a farmacy in Mexico and ask for prescription medicine without going to a doctor? You don't even need insurance to see a doctor in Mexico because you can afford to pay them. Did you know that you can build your home in Mexico without permits or getting hassled by code enforcers, or getting a visit from the fire department. They probably have more freedom then we do. Look around you folks when you drive to work in the morning, everything you see around you is just an illusion. Most of them don't even come with the idea of becoming Americans. If you ask them they will tell you they really hate being here but they know they have to, to help their families in Mexico. They are only interested in working for a period of time. What sometimes happens is they meet someone and get married and have families here. You really can't blame them, the real problem has always been the Mexican government, they take from the poor and give to the rich.
