there is nothing you can do or say!! here is the deal.. illegal is illegal. Illegals that come in this country are here illegally, they are being exploited by our businesses and government by working for a low wage, most don't pay taxes, our prisons are full of illegals, they have fake social security numbers, they don't want to learn English or follow our laws, they make fun of the USA people, they boo miss USA.. and then they demand to be treated like USA citizens when it comes to receiving health care and social security benefits. I swear, if people want to come here legally, more power to them. But for the illegals who are here, they can continue to live in fear of being deported and should leave this country. Look around and every problem in this country has the illegal aliens involved. our crime rate is high due to the illegals, our prisons overcrowded due to the illegals, our social programs are all running out of money due to the illegals, our school systems are going downhill due to the illegals!! I swear, i just don't understand why people don't see this. It almost seems like the government cares more for the illegals then they do for the citizens of the USA... So unless you can discuss these issues, there is nothing you can say which will change the minds of the majority of the American people.. illegal is illegal!
Too lazy to do it yourself huh? Just go down to Home Depot and hire some hard working Mexicans to write it for you. They work cheap!
You can also check on youtube a video called "al otro lado" or something like that. Good luck.
