I don't see them as taking advantage of what we have here but rather trying to live a better life. What is wrong with wanting to receive a good education or healthcare or a job. These are all valid reasons for wanting to come to the US. You can't become legal over night so what exactly are they supposed to do until they become legal?
WAIT
No, there's nothing wrong with them wanting a "better" life, but there are LEGAL ways of getting that life. If you resort to CRIMINAL ACTIVITY then all you are doing is living under the law.
If they want to come to the US, then let them do it legally or not at all...

They now have somewhat of an income to take care of themselves when they may have not had a damn thing in Mexico.
No kidding that's the fault of the companies. But you take that opportunity away from the companies, search and find and prosecute the companies that are doing illegal activity, and KEEP THE ILLEGALS OUT OF THE COUNTRY, then we have no problems, except for those from our LEGAL CITIZENS.
Listen, this has nothing to do with "keeping the immigrant down." It's great that our country has the ability to take in the people that we do (LEGALLY) and allow them to make for themselves a better life (LEGALLY). This entire subject has to do with the ILLEGAL immigrant.
