Maybe we should start trying to help solve the problems in these countries. I bet it would actually benefit us financially enabling another country to prosper. I know it's selfish to think of it in terms of economy but that's the only thing Americans see is wealth and the numbers in their bank accounts.

Maybe we would all be better off if they stayed home and fixed their own countries instead of bringing their failed cultures and lifestyles into others.
Like those immigrants from the mayflower brought their failed culture and lifestyle into the lands of native Americans?
Many have no intentions of staying and becoming citizens, they save money only to return to their Country of origin well off.

Since when did "working and saving money" become a horrible thing? NEWSFLASH: It's not a horrible thing.

Recently I came to the realization that immigrants are more like refugees. For the most part they are fleeing their countries.
What this perspective has done has helped me understand where most of the people coming here we're thinking and how we should really address the issue of people flooding our borders.

"you would?" Do what? You have no idea what you would do in their circumstances.
They do what everybody else does.......... they go where the jobs are. It's how working people roll.

When you sneak into a country illegally work 2 jobs under 2 names, pay no taxes, collect welfare all with the intent of exploiting a flawed, exploitable system for a few years then returning to your native country as a rich person, yes then it is a horrible thing.
