text: don't  you  think  that  illegal  immigrants  would prefer  to come  legally? how don't illegal immigrants come in a legal way in the first place? to do this it takes money and a lot a time. who comes to the u.s. illegally? poor people who can't afford that. also they would not wait 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or even 10 years to feed their families. don't you think that they would prefer to enter the u.s. in a car or an airplane, than to risk their lives in the desert or in a river? you don't how how they suffer, but it is very horrible. just think about it. please.   now that you have tought about it ....    don't  you  think  that  illegal  immigrants  would prefer  to come  legally? of course they would! whoever says they wouldn't hasn't experienced growing up in a poor counrty. ask yourself this: would you rather go on an airplane with air conditioning, food, toilets, a movie, and seating to your destination, with the time being about 2 and a half hours, or cross a hot desert with lack of food and water and wild animals that can harm you? of course they'd want to be here legally! they just don't have the money.
