Maybe I really am just ignorant about the situation, because what I know about Mexico tells me that there's more than a chance of not only getting a job there but keeping their benefits as residents and improving their country in the process.
Don't have much precise data on mexico, but I look at it this way:
Illegal immigrants' situation in the US is really, really shitty. They're in a strange country, don't speak the language, get menial jobs below minimum wage, aren't protected by law or any other kind of authority, get exploited by business owners and politicians alike. Their situation is horrible once they're here.
And yet, they keep coming.
From that the conclusion is more or less that their situation over there is even worse.

And at that point it really is less 'convenience' and more 'life or death'. The unfair treatment they're getting consists of coming here to get massively exploited. Which is pretty goddamn unfair, but, I think, not in the way you meant.

And whatever your background and intentions, saying 'fuck them' is less an expression of anger at their breaking the law, and more you insulting a poor, desperate class of people who have to leave their home cause said home is completely and utterly fucked. These are probably the last people who deserve anyone's anger, let alone 'hatred on a personal level'.
So yeah, people are gonna get pissed, and I think rightfully.

The CIA's factsheet on mexico says that up to 45% of their population is below the poverty line, btw. So yeah, I'm thinking they're pretty fucked.

What does it say about drug cartels, government and police corruption, kidnappings for profit, and other violent crimes?

Edit: Gotdamn ninja.
