I work in the restaurant industry which is filled with legal immigrants. Every one whether from Mexico, Guatemala, the Phillipines, etc. has shown an extreme disgust for illegals. It's because immigrating illegaly is like spitting in the face of these people. They did it the right way, the hard way, because they know and respect the American dream. When there is backlash against illegals they feel it too because they get grouped in with this trash as just another illegal piece of shit (which they aren't). All I can say is that I respect legal immigrants highly because they (all the ones I've met at least) show such a high work ethic, commitment to family, and love of this country that it makes me feel like a schmuck for not having the same kind commitment.
