If people like Nico's mother, an undocumented worker, weren't in this country, "sweat shops," like the one she worked in, couldn't survive! The fact is, we have laws in this country, whether you like them or not. If you break the law, you are a criminal...plain and simple! Why should you be rewarded with anything? For example: A drivers' license is a priveledge, not a right, even for an American citizen.
Everyone wants a better life for their family but you can't break the law to get it! 90% of illegal immigrants are from Mexico. That is not a country with a dictator or death squads roaming the streets. No one can claim amnesty on the grounds of persecution. America simply has more than they do and they want it! Well, Americans worked to get where they are. I don't want my Social Security to go to immigrants who never paid into the system!
There is nothing wrong with legal immigration. My grandparents were immigrants 100 years ago. No one gave them a free handout of anything!
