If America had a free healthcare system in place and had government set life saving medical procedure limits like they do in canada and some of the UK it wouldn't be as big of a deal. Most honest Americans can see it from the point of view of the illegal immigrants, they will do whatever it takes to provide a better life for the kids just as we would. Unfortunately some Americans really don't care because it isn't them. I think most of us though are caught up in our own rat race to seize a better life for our families to take a stand for those suffering. We donate to local food banks and round up on department store purchases for charity and hope it all helps. If we had a better health care system it would go a long way to solving a lot of this Country's problems.
Similarly, "if you don't like America, you should git out," hand in hand with "those people fleeing their country should stay in their own country and fix it!"
The same people frowning on it likely also have great grandparents that did the same thing. I have to remind my own parents when they say negative things about immigrants, that our ancestors came through Ellis island as refugees...
