Why would illegal immigrants want to sneak in knowing there is guest worker programs?

I know there is a lot of people in here saying that they dont want any illegal immigrants.
But do people in the U.S. know that they dont give out work permits?
A lot of people think its so easy to get a visitor visa, student or worker? But it's really not. And I just want people to know that they do what they have to do to survive.

Answer:
Why is everybody talking just about Mexicans when it comes to illegal immigrants? There are soooo many other illegals from Europe, Russia even Canada.
Its not that easy to get here - most of people (who are not Mexicans) have gotten visas in their home countries, came here and then being denied in visa extensions and are being left illegal. If they go back home - there is almost no chance to get visa second time to get back here.
Most of illegal immigrants DO pay taxes PLUS they dont get anything out of it - no benefits because they dont have wrights to that. So i would say illegals are actually supporting lazy Americans who sit at home on welfare.
Then they should do it in their OWN COUNTRIES!! Why should the people in the USA support people who cross into our country ILLEGALLY, take jobs away from people, increase the welfare rolls in this country AND, cost HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS in medical expenses when they are sick or injured... they are ILLEGAL---they committed a CRIME by sneaking into our country-----make MEXICO a better country so that these people wouldn't HAVE to try to FLEE to our country because the USA is better.
Possibly because they would not qualify for a guest worker program. Perhaps they simply have no regard for laws. Perhaps they are not aware of a guest worker program. Perhaps they are too lazy to go thru the process like any law abiding citizen would do. Perhaps they are following what has become a family tradition.
The same reason they are doing it now. they want to work and don't believe that they can get the papers necessary

most illegals caught sneaking in have never even tried to get legal immigration documents.
not because they are lazy but because of a corrupt system in Mexico, Smuggler's propaganda, and a whole system of misinformation, some of it sparked by shortcomings in the immigration system.

and yes some are lazy just not the majority.
Answer is easy, why would you pay to see a Movie, if your
cousin could sneak you in for free.
well i really do not see any reason of why they would sneak and risk their lives if they could come legally , to me that would be like suggesting that they would be the only ones which would not take the opportunity which was given to millions before them . however i am pretty sure than more than one believes they would not and that leaves me with a single thought and that being that they believe that their ancestors were actually smarter than the immigrants of today ... to me they are just showing their true colors but im sure they will still deny to have any racism in them .

yes yes their ancestors came legally and the undocumented did not , we all know that but we also know that they ( their ancestors ) were given the opportunity to do so unlike the so many who live and work today in the USA , pay taxes and don't even get them back ever . of course just like in any other group of people not all of them are good so therefor we should stand behind those which are actually helpful and repel those which are not with out justifying them in any way .

about the schools and their cost it is just a matter of looking into the numbers to see how much the undocumented actually contribute to American and how much is their actual cost .

here something interesting from the Alan Greenspan about them and about the real " cost " ( they actually benefit ) :

Our schools and hospitals can only take so many and many more from many countries want to come that we can take and still give our own children education and health care. Coming above our limits is taking that from our children.
