I don't like the stand people take where they say illegal immigrants aren't contributing anything. What do you think they are doing here, just sitting around while their children get an education? They are working at jobs for a lot less than most Americans make, and this is a problem caused by businesses who are willing to circumvent the law by hiring them. If there weren't jobs for illegal immigrants they wouldn't be here so the businesses should be held just as accountable as the immigrants.

Don't know where you got that lazy, but English and Spanish are not similar at all. In fact, English isn't similar to any other major language, which is why so many people have trouble learning it. I'm not saying immigrants to our country shouldn't learn English, but I am saying that it isn't the easiest thing for them especially if the job they work at consists entirely of Spanish-speaking illegal immigrants, as is the case for many of them.
