"Not all illegal immigrants are that way"; and the point is?

Question

I hear this defense on here from many folks..."theyre not all that way" or "not all are bad". What is the point these folks are trying to make when they say this? Are they supporting amnesty or illegal immigration because some of these people are good? Are they ignoring the millions whom are bad for the sake of a few good ones? Theres millions and millions of illegal immigrants forming groups, commiting horrible crimes and threatening the take over of half our country. The saying goes..."one bad apple spoils the whole bunch"..it does not say...."one good apple preserve the whole bunch". I honestly dont get the point in this defense they use. Theyre all criminals in my opinion just by the act of being in our country undocumented and that makes them all bad. Maybe some sincerely mean our country and our people no harm, but it does not add up to a legitimate defense in my book.

Answer 1

One thing ALL illegals have in common, is that they are ALL lawbreakers!!!!! There is NO WAY to whitewash the FACT that they have all committed a CRIME by sneaking into this country!!!!!!
Illegal is ILLEGAL!!!!!! no two ways about it!

Answer 2

I dont't think this is an issue of some bad apples spoiling the whole bunch or of treating other people with compassion. The point is these people, everyone of them, is a criminal because they came to this country illegally. They may have families or be "good people" or whatever. That is entirely beside the point. I don't know exactly what the answer is to this problem but just letting anyone and everyone come into the country without going through the proper channels has got to stop.

The point is political correctness— the bane of those who realise the emperor has no clothes, and refuse to pretend otherwise no matter how popular the notion.

Just try cutting in front of an illegal immigrant waiting in line to wire money home or pick up their welfare check sometime, and watch what a hissy fit they throw ... But don't bother trying to point out the hypocrisy because all you will likely get for your trouble is "no hablo inglés".

There is a waiting line to get into this country better known as LEGAL immigration. What part of "wait your turn in line" do they not understand? It's called "civilisation", and if they practised it a little more in their country of origin, they might not be in such a hurry to jump ship like so many rats.

How is someone whose first act in a new country is to break the law a "good person"? A criminal is a criminal is a criminal. Illegal means just that: against the law. This is a land of laws, and being a law breaker is never cool— although obviously if you get a lot of law breakers together shouting loudly enough and often enough that it is, then the great unwashed and teeming millions will eventually swallow it.

We have a legal immigration system in this country. If they can't see their way fit to take the legitimate path to legal residency, than I don't see why we should tolerate them.

If the idea that those who call a spade a spade and see the situation for what it is don't "care about human beings" weren't so sad, it'd be funny. Hilarious, actually. As if "caring" feeds the bulldog, and makes the illegal immigrant sympathisers morally superior or something? Give me a break— and get out the tiny violins while we who love our country and respect its laws reach for our barf bags.

I don't care about criminals, human tho they may be. I really don't. But I do care about human beings, with the caveat that I (unlike some) actually have a brain and can make distinctions between good and bad, right and wrong, legal and illegal ...

I care about the human beings killed by illegal immigrant gangs and illegal immigrant drug smugglers. I care about the human beings who die every day in overcrowded hospitals because of the illegal immigrants filling up the emergency rooms with their hangnails, hemorrhoids and hiccoughs.

I care about the human beings plowed into by illegal immigrants with no insurance driving the wrong way on the road. I care about the human beings whose border state homes have been ravaged by the undocumented human debris crossing the border on the sly to kill their livestock, rob their homes, and vandalise their properties on the way to freedom— a "freedom" that is proving rather costly for law abiding citizens.

I care about the hardworking LEGAL residents of this country who can't even afford to raise 1 child of their own because they're taxed to death to pay so some dumb assed illegal immigrant with no job can squirt out 10 kids for us to support. And I care about the human beings infected by Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, and all the other diseases now on the rise in America thanks to the illegal alien invasion.

Seriously ... I do care. I care a lot. But if you can't play by the rules, then you don't deserve to play at all. This lifeboat can only hold so many; should we all bow down to the policies of political correctness and drown to prove we "care"?

Answer 4

That way? You mean commiting a crime other than being in the USA illegally? You say this as if the only people commiting crimes in the US are illegal immigrants. I think our borders need to be better protected not from illegals but because if an illegal could get through so could something much worse.
From my experience, the majority of illegals are hard-working honest people. Much more honest than many I know that were born here. They are also doing work that I'm sure most American's wouldn't ever consider doing themselves.

Answer 5

A while back, there was an immigration-overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled to capacity by many of Americans finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor named Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, Mexifornia, explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal - was destroying the entire state of California. He said it would march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.

Answer 6

So your saying that all whites are fat and lazy, and all blacks are gang bangers. Because your argument is stating just that. Based on your opinion above, one bad apple spoils the bunch right? You have to look at the individual circumstances. Do you know that alot of these people came here legally, and over stayed their visas in fear of returning to their homes, and facing a poor, and unhappy existence. Honey you don't get the picture, and you never will. My point is not everyone can be labeled as bad just because of the wrong doings of others. My point is before you make accusations and base an opinion get educated and informed. That is my point, do you get it??

Answer 7

When black people were slaves, white people felt that they were nothing more than animals and product and should be treated as such. That was the law, the rules. It was illegal for blacks to live as a human.

Many people felt it was right simply because it was the law, and in the rules. But that didn't make it right. When blacks were allowed to be free, people said they should go back to their own country. Segragation was at it's extreme peek between blacks and whites.

The immigration situation seems the same. Just like the blacks wanted to be free even though that was against the law and they were seen as animal product, illegals want to survive and live in this country even though what they did was against the law and they are seen as grusome criminals.

Nothing has changed.

Answer 8

An illegal here went to his neighbors house knocked on the door a 70 something woman answered he wanted money she said no he beat her to death killed her bird walked away with a few items worth all of $ 20.00 he took off goes to a store wants ciggies is short of money leaves the store comes back home zig zaging on every front lawn trashing up yards knocking down mail boxes he runs into the house the cops come arrest him he threaten's to the wife kill if she says anything to the cops, that's about the 10th one here this year. The woman was a volunteer who helped many people over many years and an illegal alien killed her over short amount of money.It ani't fair.

Answer 9

Whats wrong is wrong. The problem with our society is that we (the higher powers that be) are such spineless wimps that we have to appease every wannabe liberal naacp black panther amnesty loving ignorant loud mouth dumb anus that feels like the hot air spewing from their pie hole is worth 2 cents. Our society is a WIMP... we need to stand up for our rights soon or we will have none. Start kicking the freakin little termites back across the border with a sharp toe boot the first time, the second time cut their nasty feet off. Maybe then they will have to work harder to get across the border.

Answer 10

I think when we deport them all we also need to send all teh employers who have given them jobs back with them. I agree with you in that respect that they are illegal they are commiting a crime. I know of a man that killed someone in Tulsa and his family was back in Mexoco within hours and he was off scott free. Half the time when they are arrested it is of course a false name so when they get out they just get another fake ID and go ahead like nothing ever happened. If you live here you should be here with documents and have to pay for what you did just like the rest of us.

Answer 11

Where are your sources that millions are planning against the u.s.? I have not met one that dislikes or wants to "take over" the u.s. A few good ones? That is an ignorant statement. Unless they take out a survey for them all that will not be known. I would guess that more then half of them want nothing to do with crime. It is as legitimate a defense as this stupid attack on it.
