the point is not whether you are more privileged or not the point is no matter where you come from, no matter what your financial status is or who you are, being an illegal immigrant is just that. ILLEGAL. So because I busted my hump to be more "priveleged" I should have to bust my a$$ and pay money just so I can legally be with my HUSBAND but they should just open up the mexican border and let the free flow in because they aren't as privileged?

LOL @ from the right country. They didn't exactly roll out the welcome wagon to let me in. I am STILL dealing with immigration. They go through your life with a fine toothed comb. Because I am "more privileged" I should have to deal with that but no one else should because life is tough enough?

The law is the law. Illegal is illegal. If they are going to free up immigration then they need to do it for everyone. not just the mexicans.

And like Lady's Human said, there are plenty of LEGAL immigrants here to came from more poverty than the Illlegal immigrants do. I'm sorry I just don't think that being less privileged is reason enough to be able to break the law. So if I were totally broke would it be OK to evade my taxes? Would it be ok to rob a bank? No one gets hurt right? So you have to pay a few extra bucks to pay for the taxes I'm not paying for but HEY, I am underprivileged.
