text: what would you do if faced with the same hardships as those crossing the border illegally? why do people get so angry about immigration? this is a country of immigrants no?if faced with the same situation that many of the illegal immigrants face (no job,no food,corruption,hungry family,etc.) would you care if it was "illegal" to cross the border when you knew you were going to have a chance at a better life on the other side. and don't say  "yes legally" because its almost impossible to enter the country for work.the odds of getting a work visa for the us without a higher education is like getting struke by lighting 3 times in the same day. i totally understand what you are saying and feel that if most people were faced with the same circumstances they would do the same thing. it is easy for people to judge when not in that situation and have such a good life here in our country.   don't judge any man until you have walked a mile in their shoes.  and no one is saying that logically they can come here and break our laws and rob, steal, rape sell drugs etc because of their situations but what is the harm in them coming here to work? and it is true that visa's are almost impossible to get.  it's not all cut & dry and that simple as people would like to think.
