How do you define ILLEGAL?

Question

OK, I have a question for all of you people who support illegal immigration.

Before I begin, I want to say that I am a big fan of LEGAL immigration. If you pay your dues to get in here, God bless you.

Now then, how do you define the word ILLEGAL?

To me, it means "against the law."

Many of you are missing this point - these ILLEGAL immigrants are breaking the law.

Let's see - rape is illegal. Now, if a person rapes 10 girls, but he is a good person otherwise, does that mean we should look the other way?

Of course not.

Child molestation is illegal. OK, we have a doctor, but he likes to get off on young boys. Should we support him?

Of course not.

Why? Because the activity they are doing is ILLEGAL.

As in, "Against the law."

If these ILLEGAL immigrants were honorable, they wouldn't be breaking the law.

So, for those of you who support illegal immigrants, do you realize that you are supporting lawbreakers?

Answer 1

According to the dictionary:

il·le·gal

adj.

1. Prohibited by law.
2. Prohibited by official rules: an illegal pass in football.
3. Unacceptable to or not performable by a computer: an illegal operation.

n.

An illegal immigrant

Main Entry: il·le·gal
Pronunciation: il-'lE-g&l
Function: adjective
: contrary to or in violation of a law

So according to the accepted definition illegal immigrants ARE breaking the law and as such they ARE criminals.

For those who want to bring the Bible in here too, yes the Bible does teach us to love our neighbor. But that DOES NOT mean to let our neighbor walk all over us, take what is not theirs, and basically stab us in the back for our generosity. We are also COMMANDED in the Bible to uphold the laws of the land as long as they do not come into conflict with the laws of God. Immigration laws in no way come into conflict with the laws of God. For those who say that God did not establish borders, think again. God clearly laid out the borders of the land of Israel.

ENGLISH ONLY IN AMERICA!

Answer 2

Could not have said it better my self. Also you should look at what we can expect even if we immigrate legally to any other country in the world. If they follow the laws, immigrants are treated better here, then any place in the world, as it should be by the greatest country in the world. they just need to follow the law.
I would not exactly put someone that jumps a fence in the desert in the same catagory as a rapist, or child molester as you have, but the law is the law. It goes for all nations. However people for imigration reform, and those that support illegal imigration only feel that the law needs to be changed for Mexico. If the U.S. wanted to ship out all the illegal polish, irish, or italians, they would not receive this outpoor for reform.

Answer 3

Only one question, have you ever notice that at the end of the freeways there a lot of "homeless", american people that are young and could do a job but asking for money?

On the other side did you notice that some inmigrants selling flowers, oranges, etc when is very hot, instead of asking for money?

What is the difference?, american people could ask for money because they are legal?, they consider people from other countries illegals but won't do the jobs those illegals do?

Now when you talk about illegals, isn't everyone is illegal, the only one's who are not illegals are the indians that where here before the colonist, those people that live free before the stupid english and/or spanish people to conquer them, they are the real americans ....

Answer 4

why are you using these examples...they are illegal but they are also hurting an individual. okay do you realize that the native american tribes were the only race basically that was in the united states before they were robbed...now i don't know what your back ground /nationality is....but all of our ancestors are illigal immigrants if your not native american...was it fair and legal for us to be here when this country belonged to someone else i don't think so..these individuals come from a third world country and are looking for a better living. i really don't support them but....there is a restaurant that won't serve you if you don't speak english is that also fair.and why do americans complain so damn much...we always complain...but when we goto a diffrent country we expect them to except us and live on their land..thats what is americas problem we are so damn ignorant and selfish.

Answer 5

Illegal, or unlawful, is used to describe something that is prohibited or not authorized by law or, more generally, by rules specific to a particular situation.

Illegal alien:
A person who is within the boundaries of a political state without that government's authorization; a national of another country who has entered or stayed without permission.

I agree that anyone who has the true American dream will come to this country LEGALLY and work hard in OUR society and excell at what WE do.

Answer 6

When discussing people I define them as Human Beings. And I believe all here who keep spouting off it's against the law have done at least one thing illegally.

Answer 8

If thy have passports and their papers (start certificate and so on) I see no problem. Now i'm no longer racist and putting forward that one and all overseas ppl are terrorists. yet in the journey that they have got finished crimes, perchance they ought to not flow. yet human beings/Canadians should not be allowed to gallavant everywhere in the globe:). yet neither ought to Mexicans. There should be a coverage about passports, paperS, and reason. except Its interest or holiday, human beings do not commonly purely gallavant over the globe. So my view, is that each and each and every individual of any race, should be aske to for papers and certification
