Azor, YOU may be willing to break the law on the excuse that doing so provides a better life for your children, but don't presume that I would.
It is almost funny the way you avoid using the correct term: we're talking about "illegal aliens," not immigrants. The LEGAL processes for becoming a US Citizen remain in place. Wetbacks who cross the border under cover of darkness or other subterfuge are CRIMINALS, just as they would be if they were US citizens going south into Mexico without complying with Mexico's laws.
Your "apples and oranges" are wormy in fact and as an analogy.
Immigrants are people who follow the laws pertaining to immigration.
