Generations of immigrants came here and worked their arses off learning English and working to build a life here, not just to send money back home. If you want to come here to earn better pay, then do so--but do so legally by earning a greed card/work visa. You may then send your money anywhere you wish; you may even commute across the border every day, if you so desire.
The illegal immigrants and the coyotes who exploit are a Mexican problem, as well. The coyotes suck away any/all money that people who are trying to cross the border, usually leaving them to die in the desert or in trailers/trucks that DPS/INS find at truck stops or rest areas here in TX.

I think it's a great offense to my country when people come live in it and refuse to adapt to it. We have our own culture. You can't just barge in, refuse to speak our language, ignore our values, ignore us and only hang out with people of your culture. Such people only want to get free benefits, they don't really want to join us.
It's just as if me and a bunch of friends walked into your house and then preceeded to ignore you, eat your food, watch your tv, then go squat in your bedroom.
You want to join us? Fine, we'll be happy to have you. But don't use us. There is nothing more important than people's culture.
