If america's so bad, why's everyone trying to get in?

People want to mouth off about America all the time but you let something happen in their own country and where's the first place they want to run to.

Just read lolas answer, that alone is just enough reason to close the borders. It is time for americans to take care of americans, hang the sign on the statue of liberty that says "CLOSED"

That's what I want to know. I wish these idiots knew how stupid they make themselves look when they do that. The people who are illegal in the first place shouldn't even be here. They are talking crap about the best country on earth and yet, they won't leave unless they are forced to do so. How smart is that? They disrespect America and everything about her but they are killing their fool selves to get over here, dying like flies in the desert. How smart is that?

America isn't bad.But some of the ppl SUCK!

I don't try and will never try to get in.

BEST Q in six months !!!! because we are the land of the FREE and the BRAVE.....and the dumbass politicians esp :old joe lieberman,blind,deaf,and dumb to ct voters....except in election years.....

yes, america is bad. but this is where the money is. people arent leaving their countries to come here because their countries are corrupt or "bad"....its because coming to america can mean financial security and the ability to send money to the family back home.

I can't understand that either they are always complaining how we treat them unfair how we don't help them how we dont understand them go back to your contry and stop trying to sneak in

the people trying to get in say america's good, then they live in it 2 to 4 years and start criticizing because they don't notice the good things anymore like freedom of speech, and take them for granted...
