You really don't have a fucking clue, do you? What they risked was getting caught and a ticket back to where they came from in an air conditioned bus. How the hell do you know what their intentions are? You wax poetic about the downtrodden people of Latin America like some Elizabethan school girl tucked away in an English Abby.
It so happens we have a shitload of them just west of here in Chester and Lancaster counties. Some of them a hardworking people that send most of their money back to Latin America to support their extended families. BUT, way too many of them are causing crime wave unpresedented the the history of those areas. They've overwhelmed the small town police departments. And whether good ones or bad ones, in total, put a tremendous strain on the social services of the area. You can guess who's paying for that.

How many stories are there in the American psyche of immigrants arriving in the States with a dollar in their pocket and then turning that dollar into a business empire across 30 years?

Hundreds, no thousands, many of whom I've known personally. They all had one thing in common, they came from varied backgrounds, sometimes fleeing something, sometimes chasing something, but all came legally or at least quasi-legally (misrepresented themselves or past) through the immigration system.

....These are the ones who have fought to get there, who will be most loyal and most grateful and will contribute more thna they ever take if only they are given a welcome instead of being blocked from legal channels and then driven out when they still fought to get in

Bullshit, they come like thieves in the night, to take what the can get away with. I suggest you visit South Central Los Angeles, they'd be glad to do a bowl with you........your bowl.
