The undocumented worker comes to the US not to invade, conquer and dominate, but rather to work peacefully within the confines of American rules and regulations and to enjoy a normal life while here.

As long as the US government ensures that Latin America stays poor, it ensures the continuous influx of these workers into the US to satisfy American needs.
