While I understand your your personal interest in the matter and respect your love for your heritage, what seems to get lost is the fact that this country IS going to shit, and not just because of illegal immigrants, but for a myriad of reasons, but for arguments sake, let's say the roles were reversed. How would you feel if you were legally and gainfully employed, yet still couldn't afford to provide health insurance for your family, and yet Americans were crossing the border and not only receiving healthcare, but had it paid for by your government. Do you think you might take issue with that?? Just because another country has it worse doesn't make it better for those living here and being forces into poverty. Plus, perhaps you are correct in saying that most Americans don't want the jobs that some of the immigrants are performing, but if I'm reading correctly it seems that he does. Now If you were to lose your job to those willing to it for a fraction of what you are getting paid , and were no longer able to provide for your family, would knowing that they came from a worse situation make you less angry?? If you weren't Mexican do you think that you might have a little more of an objective view on the subject?? I think you're taking it personally because of your heritage, which is understandable, but you don't seem to have any sympathy for the guy that gets a pink slip after 15 years of service so that his boss can line his pockets with more money.. Corruption is in every society, yes some worse than others, but I'm sure you are aware that the middle class is not so slowly being eradicated in this country. Maybe it doesn't seem as dire as Mexico because of all the Mercedes and BMW's on the road, but try telling that to the family that lost they're home and can't put food on the table for their children. All I'm saying is that It's all relative my friend. Please don't take offense to my words, just trying to show you it's not about racism, but more about survival.
