The issue is I have doesn't have anything to even do with the income they make etc. It has to do with the rules. It is the rules that they have to wait in line etc. Not just illegally come into the US, then just be welcomed with open arms. If they are already breaking the rules, they will probably break even more, better yet, those actually following the rules get screwed.

Actually, they just did a study comparing states that deported immigrants for minor crimes, and states that didn't. As it turns out, there's no difference in the crime rate of the states that deported people for minor offenses; in other words, immigrants are no more likely to commit crimes than non-immigrants.
As for "those actually following the rules get screwed", I agree. But I also think that some poor guy from Guatemala who walks all the way to America to take a job no American wants so that he can support his family isn't the "bad guy", and when he gets deported I also think he is being screwed too.
Basically the system itself is screwed, and as a result people are going to keep getting screwed until it's reformed.
