Why, for the complete understanding that Mexicans want a better life, would a Mexican want to come here to America? Isn't this first of all disrespecting them as a race? Put your feet in their shoes for a minute and ask yourselves, " Would I go to a country where I am welcomed solely for the fact that I am willing to work cheaper than the average native?

As I was going through hundreds of reviews, I've noticed that very few reviews on illegal aliens are actually written by someone, who quite often, works in the same field as they do. Most negative reviews were only based on what the average American saw, or better yet, what they have to live through, living in the same America as Illegals do. Most never work next to a Hispanic or even socialize with one. they just know they don't like them. I am not one of those, being brought up in a house that was loved and showed how to love, not just through my own family and friends, but to all. diversity was open and shared, and more often than not, my friends were often my "third world" teachers.

Through the years of being in the occupation of construction, (primarily roofing), I have had the benefit of working next to these "Illegal Aliens" and got a first-hand Idea of why they really crossed the border. Over the last five years, I have learned that there is a vast amount of difference in the type of types of Mexicans Themselves. They live in different regions, different lifestyles, and even have a different language. Some Mexicans lived in snowy mountains, (another lesson learned here, I always thought it was a hot, humid, environment), as well as places where the location was nearly uninhabitable. From what I understood first hand through my "Illegal friends", Mexicans lived in conditions that were deplorable.
