They all believe in the American Dream. That dream of success has been literally advertised in all parts of the world, and now people believe in the possibility that they "can make it in America." |

I am not sure every person "wants" to come to the US, but surely "wants" to leave where they have been.
The states have marketed the Melting Pot, Baseball and Apple Pie, "true" freedom and the "land of opportunity" how could a person living in another country know what the states are really like until they move here? |

Think about it America is the only country where you can come and stay for and few days (don't) have to be legal then whine about your rights and get welfare, food stamps, and all other government help. |

Well, I've just learned a different side of the story - because caucasions are born racist, and you can take whatever you want from them because of it.
It's amazing where the immigration problem leads. |

Compared to alot of countries... they have the opprotunity to have more freedom... their kids to have a better education.. in general a better life compared to what they would have if they stayed in their country... cant blame them... if i lived in a 3rd world country i would be packing my bags too! |

We subsidize poor people's education and health care and other services which makes it a good deal for poor people but expensive for us. That is the reason for the flood of poorer immigrants, legal and illegal. All western countries that subsidize benefits have this problem.
As to the rest, I presume it is for specific opportunities. |

this is the only country where a person can sit on his butt all day and have all of his needs met by the welfare system, in most third world countries, a person cannot meet his needs by slaving all day. |

yes, it's me

because they can, legal or not. |

Because, a hardworking person can make a good/better life for themselves and their family.
At the same time, a lazy person who doesn't want to work at all, may collect from a number of government programs, can also make a better life for themselves and their family, than the life they left behind.
If you discover the USA isn't what you expected, blaming your problems on white Americans is now the most popular course of action to solve your problems. Change will be slow, but hey, that's not your fault either. Returning to your original country is an option in most cases, yet rarely chosen... Why?
Love it (support it) or Leave it (you're free to go whenever you want). That applies to everyone(citizens, immigrants, illegals etc). |

the usa has a lot more opportunity than places like Nicaragua, Mexico, Sudan, Ukraine. Even in France it's much harder to get a job or start a business because of their employment regulations. Of course once you are here be sure to stay healthy, because the medical system is crazy, and there are many other problems... |

because the US is a party country and people think it will be exciting there, and the whole money thing. |

Cause of Media hype, which projects USA as the best place in the world. Which may be true, based on words of those who have come back from usa. |
