For those of you who have negative remarks about all illegals you may want to speak with some before negatively sterotyping all of them. For example I have a friend who came here illegally when she was 3. A child. She applied for a greencard at 13 but a crooked lawyer took thousands of dollars from her family and filed them for political assylum... Which they do not offer for people from mexico. Since this crooked lawyer filed the papers wrong she cannot even re-apply for a green card. She knows nothing about mexico and has better work ethic and a greater desire to succeed than the majority of citizens I know. She cannot even try to apply for citizenship again because she will automatically be deported since a crooked lawyer screwed her over. And if she is deported she will have no where to go as she knows nothing about mexico. This is why we need a reform; to fix a flawed system and give people a real opportunity to become citizens
