I'm going to have to side with HITMAN on this issue. My sympathies only lie with the two innocent bystanders. The other three I have no sympathy for, if nothing else, it means 3 less that will be pulling this stunt sometime in the near future, since illegals never seem to learn the lesson that they are not welcome here when they get caught. They were breaking the law, they command NO sympathy from me. I don't care if they were here to make a better life for themselves, there are legal ways of doing so. Hispanics in this country live under this assumption that they somehow have some divine right to skirt the rules because life is so hard back home in Mexico, Central America, etc. [censored]. Plenty of people have had it as bad and even worse and yet they all went through the legal channels and became citizens. Why should Latinos be given "special" privileges?
A lot of people argue that these people work and put money back into the economy. I read an interesting article a while back about how Mexican immigrants don't put more than they have to back into the US economy. Any extra they send to family back home in Mexico, feeding the Mexican economy. Well, no wonder Mexican officials don't like tighter restrictions on immigration, it's a quick and easy way for them to get US dollars plugged into their OWN economy.
