An illegal immigrant making the border crossing from Mexico to Tuscon, Arizona knowingly gave up his chance to find a home in the United States in order to save the life of a young boy stranded in the desert after the van in which he was riding left the road and crashed at the bottom of a 300ft cliff. The boy, whose mother was killed in the crash, was dressed only in shorts and unprepared for the cold of a winter night in the desert.

The man made a fire and watched over the boy through the night, until a hunting party found them the next morning. The boy has been reunited with his surviving family, and the man has since been returned to Mexico.

Yeah, lets get all weepy because one illegal did the right thing.  Almost balances all the deaths due to illegal immigrants I guess?  

Not to minimize that guys actions, he probably saved the kids life, but that is one thing which on balance with all the deaths caused by illegals including those killed by illegals driving under the influence doesn't make a huge argument for the illegals.

Yeah Dago, because I'm SURE legal residents aren't responsible for death and injury in this country.

Incidentally, recent studies have found that the cost of supporting illegals have actually been greatly OVER-estimated.

There is no doubt that there have been some good and decent folks who come accross the line into the US. That individual is one of them. IMO he deserves a chance at a legal stay here.

For another side of the same coin there are others who come here to steal and rob. They also have others who knowingly try to manipulate the system (anchor babies) to make a place for themselves without bothering to go through the legal methods of gaining admission. There are also many who want to live here but have no intention of being citizens.

The trick is to find the good ones who want to live a decent life and help support the nation they are adopting and remove the others who are just preying on the country.

Saxman even a null cost of supporting illegal residents wouldn't void their intentions not to integrate...  What possible reason could you have for supporting more sand in the clockwork?  
If for no other reason, they're delaying proper immigrants that'd actualy improve things rather than questionably weigh them down at best, and spoil it all for no good reason at worst.

The argument that illegals have made beneficial contribution to the country after all looks like a bright side of the moon argument, totaly incongruous.  Any population sample as vast as the whole of illegal immigrants in the US will have a few exceptionaly good and bad apples, it's just a bell curve... It's the world upside down! :lol

Because a few nazis had good hearts and were indeed not even nazis at heart but just caught in the times' whirlpool, nazi ideology is right?  Is that the sort of statistical spinning you're trying to pull off here?

The point is that Illegals are like EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET. There's those with good intentions just trying to get by and find a better life for themselves, and there's those who aren't worth a pile of dung. Attaching the word "Illegal" doesn't make a dammed bit of difference.

There's a LOT of native-born Americans I'd LOVE to kick out and let a whole FAMILY of Illegals stay in their place.

Some arbitrary label or status does NOT decide the value of someone, and frankly I'm sick of wading through the sweeping generalizations infecting this board, the media, and politics in this country in general and watching how it erodes the ideals this country was founded on.

The law doesn't make a damned bit of difference?  Are you anarchist or something?
"Their value" has nothing to do with it.  You've got your priorities mixed up.  They can get in like everyone else, lawfuly.  
The only people who can deserve a free ride to the front of the line are political asylum and other urgent refugees.  

The real threat to the ideals the US were founded on is neglect for those same ideals - why should honest people have to take a back seat to criminals?

"LIKE EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING ON THIS PLANET" - how's that for a sweeping generalization?

They ALL disregarded our laws and sovereignity by coming here illegally.  Therefore, the label "illegal" is not in the least arbitrary.  If I rob a bank (in this case the bank of the us-taxpayer), but then do nothing illegal for the rest of my life, I'm still guilty and deserve to be punished.  In the case of illegal aliens (the term immigrant is too broadly applied, when so many of them have no intention of integrating into our culture), their punishment in general amounts to simply being sent back to their point of origins.  Arguably this is not punishment at all, and abundently more humane than how Mexico treats illegal aliens in their own country.
