You can't use that whole "life isn't fair" deal when dealing with this topic. Yes, I agree life is seldom fair, but that doesn't make people coming here illegally right. We barley have enough resources for ourselves and legal immigrants, so why should someone who came here illegally get the same benefits as someone born here or someone who came here through the legal process?

So you can work; big deal. So an employer is shady and doesn't care where he gets workers from; Who cares?? You're still an illegal if you don't have a green card and a social security number. And if you were to have an emergency like--i dunno--say your house is on fire, or your daughter was kidnapped; you'd be turning yourself in as soon as you place that 911 call. INS would be on you like flies on shit.
