CMV: I believe that all illegal immigrants need to be deported

It makes no sense to me as to why an illegal immigrant can't take the legal approach to becoming a legal immigrant. We have methods for citizenship but immigrants choose not to take it. They come here with no prior education for our language and somehow expect entitlement to welfare they don't pay for. We have an unemployment issue in america, how can we expect to provide them jobs when we can hardly provide jobs for american born citizens? Plus, illegal immigrants get paid less then legal immigrants, what's the point of coming here when you won't get equal opportunity? If their country's so bad, why don't they just stay there and try to fix it?

Immigrants in America are more of a drain then a contribution.

Are you familiar with the legal approach to becoming a citizen? It's lengthy (several years) and often requires a lawyer. If it were easier and cheaper, perhaps more people would be legal. Most of the illegal immigrants come here to work for low wages to feed their families; how can they afford this process?

> They come here with no prior education for our language and somehow expect entitlement to welfare they don't pay for. 

Why do you think they expect entitlement to welfare? Most of them work under the radar, and applying for welfare would put them squarely *on* the radar.

> We have an unemployment issue in america, how can we expect to provide them jobs when we can hardly provide jobs for american born citizens?

No we don't. Our unemployment rate is actually pretty low. The type of jobs illegal immigrants do are not the jobs that American's want. The threat to high paying jobs is by *legal immigrants* that are granted visas.

> Plus, illegal immigrants get paid less then legal immigrants, what's the point of coming here when you won't get equal opportunity?

Because the lesser opportunity in the US is better than the best in their own country. If $3/hr will feed your family back in Mexico, it's a no-brainer.

> If their country's so bad, why don't they just stay there and try to fix it?

Yes. It's really easy and fast to fix a corrupt and impoverished country.
