I used to work a lot in central America and was always surprised at the size of families. Over the years I asked several people why they had such large families. I was always surprised at the answer.It was not we don't believe in birth control or because of our religion but if I have lots of children my chance of having a successful one is increased. Their belief is that if one succeeded the whole family would succeeded because that successful one would look after everyone else. What we are seeing in this immigration problem is just what their family plan was and that is the successful one is bringing everyone else to life in this country. Until these countries take responsibility for their population issues these problems of immigration will continue to reoccur.

Talk about being shortsighted!The U.S. life raft is only so big If we keep adding people - it will eventually sink.What are the long-term results of these illegal immigrants coming across our border?
What are the long-term ramifications of this?
for -our- future generations?
for -our- country?Illegal immigration is hurting our economy
Illegal immigration is hurting our country
Illegal immigration is degrading our society
Illegal immigration is degrading our way of life

I think the parents are cowards! No way, no HOW would I send my kids forward to make things easier for me to get into a country. TOTAL BS!These people are USING their kids to get what they want, to work the system better to their advantage. Secure our borders. Let's deal with ALL the illegals already here and start enforcing the laws we have. No place in this world can you just go enter another country illegally and have them cater to your every need, make special provisions for you and let you stay around for as long as you want illegally.

>> So then think about it...why would these parents do so? You really think alllll these parents don't give a crap about their kids? Only American parents care about their kids?@HumbleGirl: HG,I don't believe ur statement to be true. I find it to be extreme.Praise God I don't face these trials but I do stand firm on my belief.My children would not go ahead of me I would be the one to pave the way. I would take that path first!I don't believe it's a matter of who loves who more I believe it's a matter of choice in how things are done.

The politicians are basically uneffected by this horrific immigration problem. They live in gated communities and their kids go to private schools, they can afford medical care, etc. I have the greatest idea ever. I believe the White House sits on about 18 acres of land. Let's ship some of these uneducated, diseased and in some cases parentless ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS to the the lawn of the White House and see how long Mighty Michelle will tolerate it. Do you think for one minute she wants them in her neighborhood and playing with her children. Hell No! Maybe it has to be in his and her face for them to see it is a problem.
