And yet all these people want to get IN to America... You don't hear about people freezing to death in airplane wheel wells trying to escape the US, you don't hear about the oppressive totalitarian government, you don't hear any of that. America isn't perfect, but even if half the immigrants who come across the border were 'bad guys' the US would still be in the top five places to live, ever. But only a fraction of illegal immigrants are criminals (besides the crossing-the-border crime, that is) - the same fraction that legal immigrants and American citizens are criminals, I have no doubt.
