i would hope that if your mother, father, and family were ill and had no money for treatment, or hungry and no money for food, as many illegals do, that you would be willing to come to another country, even if illegally, to try and help them instead of watching them die.
Whether legal or illegal,the truth is that WE illegal people,all over this 50 states.we make America a better place.people like you that have legal documents have no idea and will never have an idea of what is like where we come from.but I bet you that if you go over to our country,our people will treat you like you should be treated.and they will try to help you as much as they can.if you want respectthen give give some back
Go to my country and you will see the difference of how you supposed to treat and talk to people
