text: do illegal immigrants know they are breaking the law? after a while i'm sure they find out.but i am not sure if they know they are not supposed to just come when they want.i would like to receive answers from illegal immigrants not haters. i am sure they are aware but a lot of the immigrants or illegals as some refer to them don't really feel they are breaking the law since they only come here to work to send money to their families and are in no way committing crimes..i think they see it as "i'm here illegally i'm working a demeaning job with no ladder going up, how can i be hurting the us when it's citizens who are paying me less then minimum wage are benefiting, i am not a criminal here to steal or murder anyone".  above dork, they run from cops because of the brutality in which they are arrested and treated..not to mention the money they worked hard for to pay to get over here, they have to somehow manage to stay here long enough to make that up..i am sure the us government would love it if they had alaw against illegal runners so that they the gov. could get that money to let the undocumented come in but of course that would in turn make them runners..they are just trying to find a way to manage to get to that point legally, and it seems with partcially informed citizens it might happen..i gues you're all for building that mockery of the great wall of china.there was a time in america when everyone was welcomed and never turned away.remember most of us here in the us are not natives from here we all came from different countries and regions it is how america was made..
