What is better? That is just opinion, even though I highly disagree with Bush on his stance on immigration for other reasons.

Oh please, I work with Mexican immigrants and most are here to feed their families, not to flaunt their immunity or take our wealth. Most just want to achieve the American dream. You even said it yourself.

That's why all those immigrants came here.... because they couldn't get those basic things at home.
Yet somehow this is different for Mexicans?

If my family was starving in Mexico and I had to come to the US illegally to not see them starve, I would. It is a conflict of interests, not a good versus evil situation.

You are making a huge assumption. How do you know that every illegal Mexican immigrant has no desire to be American? You are taking a minority and saying that every Mexican immigrant does that, which is flawed logic.

Also, I am sure many Mexicans do not want to join American culture but you can find that with almost every immigrant group. I've been in other highly immigrant influenced areas and they feel like a totally different country and it also seems that they also have no desire to become Americans as well.

There is no Mexican conspiracy to take advantage of Americans, the majority just want to feed their kids since there are no jobs in Mexico which creates a huge conflict of interests.
