Most people are quick to blame "illegal" immigrants for using up public resources, increasing crime, and being a burden on society.  REALIZE that the majority of "Illegals" here (being mostly Mexican) are here to work and greatly want to contribute in a positive manner.  The legalization process is what needs fixing.  Most "illegals" work, most pay taxes, either directly through payroll taxes or through sales taxes.  A lot of people don't realize that if you don't have a valid SSN, you can get an ITIN and use that in order to work and file a return.  WE contribute our share, whether illegal or not, to this country!!!  As far as crime is concerned, don' let a few bad apples represent all of us, and don't forget white people, black people, asians etc all have bad apples too.  If you don't agree with me, oh well, watch while we take over!!  Viva Mi Gente!!  By the way, I"m "illegal".
