Do you think that its OK for illegals to be here?

Answer 1

Yes, God created the Earth for everyone, so each square inch of land belongs to all of us. Humans are the ones calling it illegal, but can we justify taking away a gift God gave to the immigrant (legal or illegal) simply because he wasn't born in between arbitrary lines set up by human governments.

Answer 2

OK folks,here it is. I keep hearing the b*tching and moaning of illegals coming here and taking American jobs. Well, when was the last time you saw an American picking fruit or vegetables in 100 degree heat and bent over all day for little pay. Think about that next time you pass the produce section at your local market.
Next you have American employers who will gladly take advantage of them and pay them next to nothing for working all day and if they don't,they're threatened with being reported to Immigration officials to be deported. Not all illegals want to stay here.They just want to make some money to send home and then they will leave to come back the next year to do the same thing. I don't see any drain on resources.

Answer 3

Have you ever been to Mexico? I have and all I have to say is that before I went there I didn't think they should be here. Once I saw how they have to live over there I welcome them here!

Look at it this way, if they weren't here working OUR fields, YOU would be paying probably around $5.00 for a head of lettuce, probably around $10.00 for one watermelon(just examples). How would you like paying $3.00 for a can of green beans or corn? Need I say more? A lot of farmers get away with hiring on illegal's for farm help because they can get away with paying them less than min. wage. If they were paying an American to do the work they would have to pay "at least" min. wage plus health insurance, and other various benefits...which in turn would raise the cost of OUR food.
So really them being here benefits us more than what we even realize! These idiots who sit around complaining because illegal immigrants are coming into the US are commenting out of stupidity and selfishness.

Answer 4

This is such a tiring question, but here goes.
*Most people think they don't pay taxes: Yes, most of them do. They contribute to social security, yet they do not take anything out of it. If they did our social security would already be bankrupt.
*A strain on our resources: What, so them having to live in canyons and cardboard boxes is a strain on whose resources exactly? Life is extremely difficult for these people, and they work harder than almost EVERYONE I know.
*They are breaking the laws: Yeah, they are. But wouldn't you if you lived in 3rd world poverty, with your child dying from malnutrition, or running from murdering militaries, corrupt governments, and no money or future?
I do believe something needs to be done about this huge influx of immigrants, but just casting them aside is not the answer. Amnesty is just put out there to make voters happy. Our government needs realistic goals, not ridiculous ones like fences and HR 4437.

Answer 5

I don't think it's OK I know why some are here illegally and understand why they are here.

Answer 6

How many times is this question going to be asked?
The anser is the same every time, NO!!! If they want to come here, they should do it the proper way so hey will not be illegal.

Answer 7

No, they need to do it legally, like everyone else. The United States, like any other country, needs controlled immigration to make sure all citizens are provided for. Our resources are not limitless. There are alot of people who are not as fortunate as Mexico to live right across the border, and they are MUCH poorer than Mexico, what about them. They wait like everyone else.

Answer 8

NO! People complain that our taxes are too high and that heathcare
costs and insurance are at all time high. Well they get all of that
for free on are tax dollars. Do you think it's fair? I don't. Plus
a lot of other people are comeing here from other countries and
going through the legal process. It is un-fair to them!

Answer 9

I can't speak for anyone else, but I have a problem with criminals and being here illegally is a criminal act. So I don't think it is okay.

Answer 10

No, I do NOT! We're 10 years overdue to really start enforcing the borders, specifically the US/Mexico border, and the reasons are blatant on CNN and elsewhere. Do YOU wanna pack a .45 everywhere you go? That's the kind of country we're building, as we speak...

Answer 11

yes,yall may think that they are criminals ,welfare ect.Come on now african americans are the ones that don't like to work .Are way worst criminals,example Katrina evacuues ,if you haven't seen them in your neighborhood smoking weed,in HOuston crime increased 33% since they came.All races have criminals and welfare ,some more than other. And some white people only like to work in good easy jobs (the majority).What about the hindus that are blowing up new york ?
