I am a child of Legal immigrants who waited in line, went through all the paperwork, health inspections, had a sponsor and paid the costs to get into the USA with 20 dollars and a hope. My parents didn't look to or ask for help from the government, they didn't use the social systems of citizens; they didn't evade paying taxes or under-wage Americans.This is disingenuous to call these people undocumented because they have someone's ID, they aren't immigrants, migrants or new Americans because they didn't come here legally through the immigration system or visa program, which is to benefit a country, and it's citizens. Anchor babies aren't citizens and never were. The law still is, to be a natural born citizen one parent must been a citizen. Adults are responsible for their own actions including responsibility for their children.Americans need to force politicians, local government, federal government and all the social agencies to stop the propaganda and the treatment that entering our country illegally, evading taxes, stealing ID'S and (ruining people's lives), killing and molesting, drug gangs and wars is no different that smoking in a federal building. The fact that this system is broken, all our systems are as we've been told by politicians who are as crooked as the self-benefiting games they are perpetrating on Americans. Try enforcing our laws and prosecuting those that break laws and the systems will work. We have more victims daily from illegal criminals than we do in Iraq.We have had our men and women dying fighting for rights, freedoms and borders in other countries but our government hasn't protected our own country..
Anyone who isn't up on what's really going on in this country can google any of the following; wars at the border, cost of illegal immigration or gangs.

what can and should be done. I am on the side of the undocumented worker, how can I help? I am a legal american, what can I do to make the policy makers see the need to document these 15 million illegals? They are my friends and I care for them, I hate that they live in the shadows, what can i really do?
