Yet they don't.

I do not care who receives the money but I am addressing the claim that these 'loyal' people merely want to create a better lives for themselves; quite laughable considering they are sending the money out of the nation in which they live...

I'd say that sounds like them sacrificing their own well-being to help out their family members, and I can't blame them. Again, when a livable wage is impossible in one's home country, can you blame these people for breaking a law when it must seem like a life-or-death option? I don't. I blame the situations and the policies that forced them to make that choice. And even if they never contribute a dime to our economy from their wages, they still make an impact and help out by performing a service.

So acknowledging the difference you see the folly in assuming that because the Irish successfully assimilated that Meztiso's will as well?

Why can't they? And it's not like its just the Irish. Just because someone isn't white, they can't live the American dream?

So much for America being a nation of laws. There is nothing 'American' about breaking the law to better your own position in life...er....hold on the way America is today maybe I am wrong afterall.

Really? Some of the most poignant moments in American history have been when people banded together to break unjust laws in order to better their lot in life. (Boston Tea Party, the entire fucking Civil Rights movement, etc.)
