I keep seeing illegal immgrants being called "criminals", but arent the real criminals the people who employ

Question

them? I mean I havent heard of one illegal immigrant being tried by our Judicial system and being found "guilty", yet the employers are commiting a federal crime by defrauding the Federal Government and nothing is done? Since when has following human instinct been a crime?

Answer 1

Illegals can't be tried unless its a serious murder... Otherwise, they are let go or deported... which usually happens.

Yes, the employers need to stop. And they should be charged with felonies as well.

If you haven't noticed, illegals have been hired by the "cities and states" for construction jobs...

I thought states fall under the district courts of the U.S. Supreme Law and all states, and cities should enforce federal crimes as well?

Perhaps we need to charge the government too....That'd be nice...

That would never happen...

Answer 2

IIn terms of Criminal Justice a criminal is "One that has committed or been legally convicted of a crime," or "Of, involving, or having the nature of crime." If the second is true, then Illegal Immigrants, by definition (an alien (non-citizen) who has entered the United States without government permission or stayed beyond the termination date of a visa) are in violation of established laws. If you can honestly tell me that these people don't know that they can't be here, I will support your assumption that Illegal immigrants are not criminals. I do however support your theory that these employers are also criminals.

Answer 3

The illegals are breaking the law and so are the employers!! They are both considered criminals!
"Since when has following human instinct been a crime?"
Since our Government made it a crime...hence the name ILLEGAL ....

Recruitment and Employment of Illegal Aliens

It is unlawful to hire an alien, to recruit an alien, or to refer an illegal alien for a fee, knowing the illegal alien is unauthorized to work in the United States. It is equally unlawful to continue to employ an illegal alien knowing that the illegal alien is unauthorized to work.

It is unlawful to hire any individual for employment in the United States without complying with employment eligibility verification requirements. Requirements include examination of identity documents and completion of Form I-9 for every employee hired. Employers must retain all I-9s, and, with three days' advance notice, the forms must be made available for inspection. Employment includes any service or labor performed for any type of remuneration within the United States, with the exception of sporadic domestic service by an individual in a private home. "Day laborers" or other casual workers engaged in any compensated activity (with the above exception) are employees for purposes of immigration law. An employer includes an agent or anyone acting directly or indirectly in the interest of the employer. For purposes of verification of authorization to work, employer also means an independent contractor, or a contractor other than the person using the illegal alien labor.

The use of temporary or short-term contracts cannot be used to circumvent the employment authorization verification requirements. If employment is to be for less than the usual three days allowed for completing the I-9 Form requirement, the form must be completed immediately at the time of hire.

An employer has constructive knowledge that an employee is an illegal unauthorized worker if a reasonable person would infer it from the facts. Constructive knowledge constituting a violation of federal law has been found where (1) the I-9 employment eligibility form has not been properly completed, including supporting documentation, (2) the employer has learned from other individuals, media reports, or any source of information available to the employer that the alien is unauthorized to work, or (3) the employer acts with reckless disregard for the legal consequences of permitting a third party to provide or introduce an illegal alien into the employer's work force. Knowledge cannot be inferred solely on the basis of an individual's accent or foreign appearance.

Actual specific knowledge is not required. For example, a newspaper article stating that ballrooms depend on an illegal alien work force of dance hostesses was held by the courts to be a reasonable ground for suspicion that unlawful conduct had occurred.

It is illegal for nonprofit or religious organizations to knowingly assist an employer to violate employment sanctions, regardless of claims that their convictions require them to assist illegal aliens. Harboring or aiding illegal aliens is not protected by the First Amendment. It is a felony to establish a commercial enterprise for the purpose of evading any provision of federal immigration law. Violators may be fined or imprisoned for up to five years.

Answer 4

The employers should also be punished. And it has been illegal since they broke the law while following it. Rape is just following human instinct, so is murder.... You better come up with another argument, because that one just got destroyed.

Answer 5

Actually I know one specifically in my city who was tried and convicted of murder then deported.
They are breaking the law just being here.Hence the term ILLEGAL immigrants.
They should be deported at once and Hell yes the business that employs them should face heavy damage as well.

Answer 6

The illegal aliens and the business owners that hire them are all criminals. We all know this. You just wasted your points.

Answer 7

The real criminal is the Government that takes away our money and squanders it in "welfare" which only makes the immigration problem worse.

Answer 8

with no disrespect, both are in my opinion. i dont see where following instincts ties in with this but...whatever afloats your boat. i think immigrants should come in the right way or it would be soo easy for terrorists to get in, and people shouldn't really support people illegally entering the United States by hiring them

Answer 9

Nope you know who fault it is, quit kidding yourself. Deport all illegals ,problem gone.

Answer 10

That's only in the Yahoo immigration category; even Congress doesn't address immigrants in that manner, even when addressed as illegal. It's just all the bigoted people here that do it to insult and harass.
