After all, america is supposedly the land of the free.

The land of the free (handouts) is what it's becoming.
I have no problem with someone that wants to immigrate. I know the stories of most of my ancestors that came accross the ocean. Most involve stopping at places like Ellis Island. All followed whatever the normal immigration rules were at the time.
Now it is a little tougher to get in to the US legally. I have no problem with that. If you want to go try and be a citizen of any first world country, there are going to be some hurdles.
I'm 100% in favor of deporting illegal aliens that do not pay taxes and use government services. However, if they are just here to earn a living and support their family back home, I think there should be a visa for that. Hell.. provide them transportation in to the US! How many people actually born in the US do those kinds of jobs anyhow?
