text: why do illegal immigrants cross into the united states? three reasons: freedom or liberation money or poverty new identities for criminals  if you have any websites taht have these infromation on it... can i have the website too? they come here to seek a better life, that much i don't doubt. however, that doesn't make it right. i, myself, am an immigrant and i have several friends who are also immigrants. i, along with my friends, have come here through legal methods. the ones who continuously cross the borders are not. if they come here through the correct means then i don't have a problem with it. but with what they're doing now, it's a slap in the face to every immigrant who's had to come here lawfully.
