@Mrkim my comments were at first comment not yours

Thus far the rest has further illustrated my point.

We are the target of such influx due to favorable conditions and the multitude of benefits to being American.

I happen to live in Texas, though not native. I can tell you I live with the immigration issue up front.

And though the statistics do not hold true in some places I can show you able bodied 10th generation Americans living in my town that draw checks every month out of laziness, and I can show you people who jumped the fence 3 weeks ago that will work all day in the sun for $50.

To the ones that live off the system, they are detritus however no more so than that which collects here naturally.

Fix the system and immigration will once again be the source of this country's strength, not its adversary.
