Are illegals law breakers or not?

Question

Be truthful. Yes or no?

Answer 1

Sure they are! Why do you think they are called ILLEGAL?

Answer 2

In the strictest sense of American and international law, anyone who crosses the border without permission has committed a crime against that country. Just try flying to Japan and sneaking past customs. Or stowing away on a ship to Europe.

In Southeast Asia, most border patrols are told to shoot border crossers on sight. Mexicans should be glad that we don't do that in America (although I'm sure many respondents to this question probably think we should, lol). Just try illegally entering Thailand and see how far you get... maybe 100 yards before there's a bullet in your back.

America has the most relaxed border policy in the world. Canadians can enter pretty much unharassed. For every 100 Mexicans that jump the border, less than 20% are ever sent back. So while the illegal border crossers ARE technically breaking the law, the enforcement is so lenient that you also can't blame them for going where they can.

Not to equate Mexicans with ants, but the principle is the same. If you spray ant spray on the ants as they try to invade your kitchen, then they will attempt to invade elsewhere. If you are diligent in spraying every entry point, they will no longer enter. But if you neglect any entry point, they will continue to come in through that entry point until they are stopped. The same goes for the illegal Mexican border crossings. If the US were to actually enforce its own laws against illegally entering the country, less Mexicans would make the attempt, just as the ants would cease attempting to invade if they are sprayed with ant spray every time. But as long as the US allows the border crossings to continue, the Mexicans will continue to use those routes to enter the US.

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

We have laws in the US. You cannot be here without proper documentation. Illegals do not have this. Thus that makes them being here ILLEGAL. You also have people who come here Legally and over stay there visa. Which makes them Illegal. Also you can do as those 11 Egyptians recently caught that enterd the US on Student Visa's and never showed up for class, They got rounded up and will be deported.

Answer 5

Yes. I think that the citizens of this country who are legally entitled to live here and want to have people coming here illegally should be granted the option of losing thier citizenship in a trade for the green car for the alien. Maybe it shouldn't be an option. If you aid an illegal you lose your citizenship. Should be some laws like that.

Answer 6

By being in the States without the proper documentation they are breaking one law. So all are law breakers. Most do not cause trouble otherwise, just here to earn money. Mexico has about 10% of it's population here, if we sent 10% of our population to Mexico, set up our system of commerce, they would cry foul!

Answer 7

The definition of being a law breaker is doing something illegal and against the law. Illegals, by definition are lawbreakers simply by existing on this side of the border. One can dispute the morality of the law all they want, but that doesn't make each of these people any less of a criminal.

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

They broke the law the second they stepped on American soil without proper documentation. The became criminals the same way that someone does who enters your home without permission.

Answer 10

Yes. One law too many

Answer 11

I find it amusing that you used "illegals" and law breakers in the same breath. Of coarse!
