I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting to come to the United States of America, as it is a truly wonderful place.

Yes I think Charlie speaks for a majority of Americans and all the hand wringing and bluster can not get around the fact that the 'invaders are illegal invaders and continue to be just that ILLEGAL'.
