I´m a latino and I would like to live in the USA (another one, jejeje), but I´m against ilegal inmigration, those are some of my reasons: 1) The USA is a country born fromthe idea of the Empire of the Law, you can´t begin to destroy that concept in ordwer to defend the "inmigrants rights". 2) To legalize the ilegal inmigrants will be a slap in the face of the people who do the things the right way to migrate to the Unites States: it is the end to the concept of "equal under the Law". 3) One thing is to allow for inmigrants (a need in almost every country) and another is to allow for inmigrants of every quality: looks for the biggest gangs in the south west and note they are, mostly, of ilegal inmigrants. 4) The USA is a melting pot, but the melting pot is not an static thing, it varies on the time. Besides that inmigration will allow for the preservation of American values, that it: the melting pot will "absorb" inmigrants and integrate them to American society, not the other way.
