Living in Dallas, I'm very familiar with the issue, but I am by no means an expert on the topic.
What drives me insane is people that get here illegally and are a burden on the system - taxes, schools, medical, etc.
Yes - I understand that for the most part, they do the jobs that nobody else wants. In Dallas there is a TON of contstruction (new homes, roads, etc) that are likely benefiting from illegal immigrants. However, just b/c they're willing to work hard doesn't mean they should get a free pass.
Cross the border LEGALLY and by all means you're welcomed with open arms. Yes, I know that situations on the other side of the border are not ideal, but there is a process.
What kills me is all of these students protesting, skipping school to attend these rallies... I can only imagine that the great majority have no clue as to what they're really protesting. They see it as someone trying to keep the minority down.
That's a story and a view I do not accept.
Get into this country legally... pay your taxes and contribute. Otherwise, deal with your decisions.
