Answer 1

NO

Answer 2

No I don't have any illegal relatives. But the USA is not the only country that has this problem. The problem we have is that when they come illegallly they drive without a license, they work without paying taxes , they commit crimes without detection and they create gangs that create warfare for turf and they have children and don't get them proper medical care...and they bring in diseases because they are not screened and when they do use the health care system it is at the expense of the taxpayer and our taxes increase.. Legal migrants are tested for AIDS , TB and criminal records. What is the point of the government testing all the legals at a cost to taxpayers when illegals are coming in the back door ...undectected. I think that the majority come illegally because they have criminal records or disease or just simply want money. Most political refugees or asylum seekers are genuinely proven to be in need...and genuine humanitarian reasons for migrating are usually not illegal immigrants but legal applications. It is also been proven that the illegals ...when cought by authorities make up stories of abuse and horrific torture, starvation etc...because they know that they will get sympathy, and hope that this will keep them in the country. Many people who are genuinly starving or depraved and tortured, don't have the means or strength to get away in the first place.

Answer 3

I have no relatives who are here illegally. I do not support illegal immigration.

I do feel humanitarian reasons can justify breaking some laws, but believe this is not one of those circumstances.

Answer 4

No-my family wouldn't knowing break the law.

I have work with some Illegals-they were nice and hard working and helpful. They knew how I felt about the issue-and we respect each other.

I won't break the law or lie for them-or support them in their quest. Or Say what is Wrong is Right. And the good ones won't ask you too.

Answer 5

It doesn't justify 'em but you can't treat human beings looking for a better future like murderers or criminals unless they're the ones who are up to no good, my opinion is they should come up with a guest pass and deport whoever been here doing criminal or illegal stuff, like President Bush said not everyone who crossed the border illegally is a criminal.

Answer 6

i know this one guy he was suppose to be in the contury on some bussiness trip, if you ever enter the USA on a bussinuess trip the US Goverment. watches you very carefully and they make sure you leave well this guy that i know the usa goverment forgot all about him. they have no record of him ever being in the USA so he got an aprtment and works at a store. dosnt pay taxes dosent vote he stays a way from the USA goverment. though i dont support it, i dont think that it affects me that much except for not paying taxes

Answer 7

I think that when the laws are unfair, or down right stupid, then people should break them and try and change them. Also, a lot of people are fleeing poverty and hunger and sometimes even the threats of murder and rape. They are, like any other human, looking for happiness and even survival, and we should share what we have. Americans, i think, forget that they are american by chance. It could have been them on the other side of the border. Anyway, my church helps refugees and the stories they tell me are horrific. I know one woman whose husband and little boy were murdered.
