Actually the big problem with illegal immigration's not so much the people crossing the border to work as it is the employers who are more than happy to employ illegally, getting only a token slap on the wrist when caught in exchange for some very sharp increases in profit-margins since they can pay as low as they want. Its pretty much exactly the same as the outsourcing problem, except instead they bring the workers here and thus also put a drain on healthcare and education.
You can't blame someone for wanting to turn that 1$ a day into 50c an hour so they can better take care of their family. But what you CAN do is to rip apart those that are ruining the country by firing american workers and exploiting those people instead.
At least slaves were fed crap and had maybe a barn to sleep in... some of those wages won't even get you THAT.
As for the hatred... well, bombing civillians ("collateral damage" they call it), holding extraterritorial gulags to better torture untried innocents, arming and supporting totalitarian regimes and taking down popular leaders to install puppets tends to make many people hate you.
Not that the muslim response is acceptable either, but considering what's being done, especially if its turned into a crusade by the christians, such responses are not surprising at all. Two wrongs might not make a right, but they're very good at causing more 'wrongs' by those who consider themselves in the right.
