Immigration

Here is my feeling about US Immigration. I believe US law is the best in the world. It invites people from all over the world to taste the freedom and posperity created by brave, strong and bright people. I always feel thankful for those people that came before me to make this country great and I'll try to be an asset rather than taker to this great country. US has the right to keep its border safe and force the law. In another hand, I believe there is higher law that triumps any law in this world, Love and Compassion.
World is full with power-hungry leaders, they make lives of their citizens to be in sub-human conditions. We have so much in this country, I don't think we should discourage people coming to US for better lives in fact we should encourage. I know this logic defy human logic but we're all know the more we give, the much more we'll receive. We know people are country's best assets, why don't we take them for free?
Most Americans are very generous people and I believe most are agree with my statements above but they will question "fairness" and legal vs illegal immigration. How about for those people that wait in the line. I believe our current law is sufficient to discourage illegal immigration, we should make the pipe bigger enough so the flow of Immigrant will come here legally. All of us here will also agree, we'll let people to go ahead of us if by doing so will save some people from hungry even death.
How about Mexican immigrant? Again, our current law is sufficient to discourage people to come to US illegally but we have to give respect and not to treat them like criminals for going through the difficulties even facing death to have better lives for his family. Can we compare their struggle with those people stay in the line. Why don't they wait like everyone else? because they can't. Yes, it's as simple as that. Most of us here will not understand the urgency.
Another reason, we should give Mexican immigrants better treatment is because they are our neighbour. I always believe, if your friend is blessed by God, the blessing will spread to you. Similarly, God blesses this Country with richness and just being neighbour of that blessed country, the blessing should spread to Mexicans. We always want to help poor people, when the time comes why don't we do it?
There is famous story we're all know, Owner of a farm hire workers in the morning and they're all agree with the payments then when the day is almost over, the owner hire more workers. At the end of the day, they are all given the same payments. Is this fair? Who are we to tell the Owner of the farm not to be generous to those people that work less.
