Outside of just speaking our language what do you want immigrants to do. Is just learning English basically all you want from immigrants or do they have to do more?

Situation A) A man approaches me on the street and says that based on my appearance I'm obviously well to do and will I please give him all the money in my wallet? He knows I have more in the bank, and he's hungry, and his wife is sick. I tell him no, so he pulls a gun and takes it by force.

Situation B) The government tells me that I'm obviously well to do, and they want a percentage of my income, but they'll let me keep some of it in the bank for myself. They want to give it to people that are hungry, or sick. They obviously need it. I tell them no, and they threaten to come take it by force and throw me in prison.

Is there any difference between the two situations above? Either way my property is being forcibly taken because somebody else decides that they NEED it more than I do, and I can do nothing to stop them. Is that right, or just?

Is it because they don't want people who have transmittable permanent illnesses like TB and Hepatitis into the country and make others here sick?

Is it because the countries know that there is only so much natural resources in their country?

Or is it because the countries are just trying to be evil and mean spirited?

Why is it called "life imprisonment" if in most countries, it doesn't actually mean "for the rest of your life"? For example, I live in the UK, and here, many people are sentenced to "life imprisonment" for crimes such as murder and sexual attacks, but most are released within 15-30 years. If they plead guilty, they can get their sentence slashed by a third. If they are young when imprisoned, this means that they have a very real chance of getting out with many years still to live.

Also, why is it considered by some to be against a person's human rights to be imprisoned for life? What about the human rights of the person who was killed or attacked?

I'm very interested in answers from all parts of the spectrum.

It seems to me they provided a different philosophy;at least an interesting alternative to viewing values.
And what harm did they really cause?Look at the way we look or better,not look at world situations now.No one can think on their own. You have to check with the news channels and the internet They tell us what is right and wrong.

People always claim that US soldiers are dying for "our" freedom. I guess Paris Hilton should thank them tremendously for her freedom to mock US justice and responsiblity....and to give her a chance to kill someone drunk driving.

The Los Angeles County jail system is so overcrowded that attorneys and jail officials have said it is not unusual for nonviolent offenders like Hilton to be released after serving as little as 10 percent of their sentences.
