bornfree- of course we know someone who is illegal or we r illegal ourselves otherwise we would be like u igorant. maybe thats wht ur problem is u dont know anybody who has gone through this or is going through with it. oh ya ofcourse working in the fields at 85-95 degree weather waking up 3am to go collect cans( i watched this story in tv) ya of course this is very easy compared to mantaining ur legal status and going to college. oh ya u r absolutely right. if another 11 million ppl r illegal 4-5 yrs later(which is very highly likely) we will make them legal too so r u in student visa who pays for ur college? i mean many students in US doing under grad work illegally. so one might say how is that fair u r taking a job frm an american.
