2. If things are so bad here why do millions come here illegally?

Gettherightvote, I'm with you on each issue you just mentioned.

I'm sick of hearing how bad thing are. I live in an area in Atlanta GA where there are lots and lots of Hispanic immigrants. I see them and their happy well-cared for children all the time. They appear to work hard. the kids are happy looking and well-nourished.

What i want to know is if things in the USA are so grim, why are all these people here? Could it be there are still opportunities for those who will work hard?
