They break the law coming in illegally. To me that is bad. Also they are not in the "shadows," they're in the hospital emergency rooms, the welfare offices, the schools, the libraries, and everywhere else.

Have you ever had to be on welfare? Do you even know where your local "welfare" office is? Methinks you have been listening to right wing propaganda too much and have no idea what you are talking about.
The schools? Really? You know if you are born here in the United States you are a citizen right?
And the libraries? Obviously you haven't been to your local library in a very long time, You are going to find more hobos than illegals at the library. Here's the reason, if you can't speak a language, chances are pretty good you can't read the language either.
Everywhere else? OMG! Really? Central America must be completely empty!
Methinks you are mistaking all Latinos for illegals. It's a common mistake, But hey, if you go to Maricopa County AZ they have a sheriff's job for you.
Now, you might be right as far as the emergency rooms. They are after all human, and humans do get sick. Sometimes they even get injured (usually by doing hazardous or horrible jobs that Americans refuse to do)

As far back as 2006, in its Corruption Chronicles blog, Judicial Watch revealed that the USDA was spending taxpayer money to run Spanish-language television ads encouraging illegal immigrants to apply for government-financed food stamps. The Mexican Consul in Santa Ana, CA, at the time even starred in some of the U.S. Government-financed television commercials, which explained the program and provided a phone number to apply. In the widely viewed commercial the Consul assured that receiving food stamps “won’t affect your immigration status.”
In 2012, Judicial Watch reported that in a letter to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions questioned the Obama administration’s partnership with Mexican consulates to encourage foreign nationals, migrant workers and non-citizen immigrants to apply for food stamps and other USDA administered welfare benefits. Sessions wrote, “It defies rational thinking, for the United States – now dangerously $16 trillion in debt – to partner with foreign governments to help us place more foreign nationals on American welfare and it is contrary to good immigration policy in the United States.”
