Obviously not everyone hates USA; many support it; but also there are as many opinions as there are people..
I personally know a few USA citizen leaving USA because they felt disappointed in this nation. And I think a lot of USA citizens migrate to Canada these days as well...
The migration issue is really not a 'Arizona' phenomenon, but worldwide.
You may not be interested, but I have a sister living in greece, Tessaloniki (one of the large cities in greecce) and she says Tessaloniki is a meltingpot of all races.
Antwerp, where I came from has more migrants than original Belgium citizens.
And I'm very sure I there are many many and many more nations that have taken in well over 10% of migrants (that unfortunately tend to flock into 'ghetto's' if I can use this word, and cause a lot of misunderstandings due to being from a different culture).
One thing I know is that Obama is more open to migrants than McCain.
However there is another side to the coin. More migration could mean an improved economy (because there are more people, money comes and goes a lot faster, and the economy just runs better).
There are many theories about that though I know only little of the economy.

My response was to Mr. Jordens "mooching bully' comment. I never intended it to say that we were the only countries contributing, etc.
As for "migrants' America has always welcomed immigrants...........legally.
The problem is the crushing financial burden illegals bring.
Any child who walks into school must be enrolled, no questions asked. If they do not speak Engilsh, the school is responsible for teaching them. If they have special needs, the school is responsible for providing the proper tools, teachers, aides, needed.
Any person walking into emergency rooms must be treated regardless of ability to pay, and proof of citizenship must not even be asked. Talk to your local hospital administration and ask how that works out.
Illegals are hired using stolen id's......thats a nightmare you'd better hope you never run into.
