Most illegal aliens are here based on perception of what America is: the land of opportunity and for them it is, they are able to find a job provide for their family. The are here manly for the job and quality of live, but they (most of them) plan to return home once they become prosperous.
Also, they're not taking jobs that are wanted. When was the last time you heard someone (before the recession) say Imma go get a job a Mc Donald's or I don't have a problem picking fruit. They are doing the manual labor that us American's have become "too good" for. They are even given under minimum wage, and little to no benefits. They create jobs using the skills they have, without devaluing their worth.
They keep their culture. So what they might not speak our language? At one point in time, your ancestor did not either. America use to be the welcoming place to all cultures, but we have become too full of ourselves where learning other languages and cultures is beneath us (which explains why our education system is low, but thats another topic). As we become more global an the sea divides become smaller through technology, we must embrace cultures, to see that we are all the same.
In the time of a recession, Americans have learn our noses have become too high and as the water begins to rise, we realize that we are not alone. I hope that we realize that they want a piece of the American Dream, they could not achieve it home, so they found it elsewhere. More and more cultures are learning the "American Way" and coming over to take what's ours we just no longer work for it. It's time to become the working people we are known to be, and work together for all to have the opportunity of the Dream.
