Only Illegal Immigrants Breaking Laws?

Question

Most of the answers here are based on the fact that illegals have broken the law. Hmmm. Have you ever got a traffic ticket? How about known a friend who landed in jail on some B.S. charge? Illegals pay traffic fines and go to jail. Most have pssports, but no visa. After looking at the entire picture why is the focus on law breakers?

Answer 1

Because this country's corporations want profit but now these undocumented immigrants are being scapegoated by bitter Americans who want that money to stay in America. It doesn't matter that the American Dream is paraded around the world and that these immigrants feel that America is the only place that they can make a live for themselves, it doesn't matter that the immigration policies are corrupt so they can't gain access, Americans don't want anymore brown people getting anything. Why else would they target the Mexican border and not the Canandian border where 50% of undocumented immigrants cross? And thats the sad truth

Answer 2

Because all illegal immigrants have broken the law ... by being here illegally, they have broken our immigration laws, to a man! Do you mean that because American citizens and legal immigrants also break the law, that we should allow this invasion of illegal immigrants go unchecked?? Whether illegals pay traffic fines or not is a moot point ... what you're basically saying is that it doesn't matter a damn if all of the illegals have ALREADY broken the law ... may I ask why we have immigration laws then? Or do you advocate we break the law? In that case, why should anyone follow ANY laws?

Answer 3

People who break the law need to be prepared to pay the penalty, such as the traffic ticket, or the jail sentence.

Illegal immigration isn't just a one time border crossing offense, however, it is an ongoing pilfering of education funds and other services when they are not legally here to begin with. That is totally apart from identity theft and failure to pay taxes, etc.

We subsidize education and services for poor people which is why we limit the number of poor people who can legally come. Those who break our laws to come here illegally steal those services and drive down education quality and health care in areas where illegals concentrate.

All those who are opposed to amnesty are saying is that, just like with the traffic ticket and jail sentence, illegals should pay the penalty on the books for the laws they broke.

If they stay they continue to drain education fund and services which are failing already. That is the issue.

mweller 1956 give any evidence at all to support your libel of the Minutemen.

Answer 4

When law breakers are caught they have a penalty to pay. For an illegal immigrant that means they get sent back to where they came from. Are you trying to say that it is okay to break the law? There are consequences for choices that you make in life. If you choose to speed, you can get a speeding ticket. Your insurance will probably go up. If you get caught often enough you loose your license. The illegal aliens chose to enter the country by illegal means. When they are caught they also have to pay the penalty. I think the process to get green cards needs worked on. If there is that large of a demand for workers there should be enough green cards issued to fill it.

Answer 5

I am sick and tired of reading others comments bashing illegal immigrants. Is this what this country is all about? Every man for himself? Have you EVER stopped to ask yourself "What would I do?" What WOULD you do if you were in a situation where you lived in a country that has no future for you and your family? Not even being able to provide for your family making $40 a week? Wouldn't you too seek coming to America? The land of opportunity? Sure there are illegals who come here with the wrong intentions; commiting crimes and who are out to get me and you. But aren't there CITIZENS here doing the same thing????? Will the sterotyping ever end?

Answer 6

I guess it's you who doesn't see the "big picture". Illegal aliens in the USA do NOT pay taxes, they are a burden on the school systems due to sending their kids to the school yet pay no taxes to pay for their education. Speaking of traffic tickets, if an illegal is driving and hits your car, 8 out of 10 illegals carry NO auto insurance, guess who pays for any damages.... that's right, EVERY law abiding citizen that has auto insurance ends up paying for it, increases in insurance rates cover the losses of insurance companys. Health insurance for illegals? Not hardly, 9 out of 10 illegals carry no health insurance because they know if they go to a hospital they HAVE to get treatment, and it's the average citizen that ends up paying for it thru higher premiums. Let's see, how about undocumented child molesters living in your neighborhood, illegals simply do not register as child molesters like ALL criminal pedophiles have to do in the USA. So this means there could be murderous, sick perverted pedophiles living illegally in your neighborhood right now, but because YOU don't want to be seen as unprogressive, they will never be known until it's too late. Illegal immigration hurts everyone, especially those immigrants who came here legally.

Answer 7

Let's see..... Illegal entry into this country. Using false and stolen ID and social security numbers. Bring who knows what diseases and health problems. Posing a threat to national security. They have no respect for OUR law, OUR country, OUR way of life, or OUR people. They feel that they are above the law and can just come in here and do and get what they want. This is not only an INSULT to the American people, but also to ALL of those who have gone through the process and entered here legally.

DEPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS

ENGLISH ONLY IN AMERICA

Answer 8

illegal immigrants are breaking the law when they walk across our borders how can you compare that with a traffic ticket they are knowingly walking across our nations borders by the thousands without our consent in any other country it would be called an invasion this is a real problem dont be using our laws to defend someone thats not suppose to be here in the first place actually our laws shouldnt even apply to the illegals

Answer 9

Being interior the U. S. illegally is a civil violation (like a parking value ticket). Itis not a criminal offense lower than US regulation. even if--there is an old political/legal adage that in case you want guidelines to be obeyed, they might want to be lifelike and enforceable. the present immigration guidelines are neither. guidelines that are written and carried out in one of those way as to not be worth of respect get precisely that--no respect. The GOP sat on their palms from 1995 to 2006 making racist feedback yet doing not something about the chaos of our immigration equipment. In 2007 they blocked the purely serious attempt at immigration reform--inspite of the actuality it turned right into a conservative bill. So, in the adventure that they don't like the area, problematic. in the adventure that they need to carry close the source of a situation, all they might want to do is seem in a reflect.

Answer 10

Some of us do get traffic tickets, but we do pay for it. All illegals broke our immigration laws by being here illegally.
And only a few are getting deported. Illegals don't have US passports; they have passports of their home countries. And employers whos hire illegals also broke the laws.
