L.G.
I know you are looking for people who have been hurt, but I would like to let you know how undocumented immigrants have benefitted my life. First of all my two beautiful American boys are sons of an undocumented immigrant. I have been introduced to God by an undocumented immigrant and began a Christian life in a church of undocumented immigrants. The school I teach in has a large number of students who are either undocumented immigrants or children of such and without them our school would most likely close. I teach English as a Second Language and without such immigrants I would need to find another line of work. An undocumented citizen has been my trusted childcare provider for years. Many vacant buildings near where I live have been given new life by hispanic businesses (people who were once illegal immigrants). I have, myself lived in Mexico, and can understand why some Mexicans have chosen to leave behind their family, homes, language and culture to have a better life and provide opportunities for their families. I just hope that while you are trying to gather evidence to prove that these people are "hurting" Americans, that you also give consideration to how they are helping Americans.
