Immigration and ME

Honestly, I do not oppose illegal immigration.
I read a book over the summer, The Devil's Highway, that completely changed my view of illegal immigration. 
In the book, the author describes all the horrible obstacles illegals have to overcome in order to cross. He graphically explains how thousands of people die every year trying to cross the Mexican-American border. 
So why do people risk their lives to come into our country? Because people are risking their lives staying at home.
They don't have the living standards that we do here. They don't have stable economies or even a stable government to help them out. 
I think the articles really highlight this attribute that many Americans don't think about. 

Lets discuss it!!
