I am so tired of this rutheless attitude americans have towards illegal immigrants. They DO contribute GREATLY to our society, whether people choose to face that or not. The fact that there are some negatives to their being here doesn't automatically erase all the good, yes I said GOOD things they do here. My hometown of Gulfport, Mississippi was a direct hit by hurricane Katrina. Thank god for these illegal immigrants who are here now doing the work nobody else wants to do in 100 plus degree weather -rebuilding our homes and businesses, including putting the roof on my home in record time with outstanding craftsmanship. They are also the reason we americans enjoy our fruits and vegetables at REASONABLE prices..because the day farmers start paying living wages to the pickers, thats the day we pay more at the supermarket. Of course they deserve a living wage, but I was just making a point of how we are benefiting from their labor. Thank you for having a kind heart to this issue. It is most refreshing to see in a country where it seems almost everybody wants to blame all of our society's ills on these hardworking people who are just seeking a better life for their families, just as our ancestors did when they came to this country. And for those who would say the difference is that our ancestors came here legally, I say if our ancestors had been made to wait the years and jump through so many legal hoops to come here, they would have done it illegally too.
