Why do illegal aliens feel entitled to enter the United States at will?

Question

Should we make our immigration laws as harsh as those from other countries?

Answer 1

They seem to feel that it is their human right, but human rights don't include breaking laws, which they are doing by being here illegaly, and then making others pay for your healthcare, food, and homes. My child was literally pushed aside for public school pre-k so that children born of illegals from mexico mostly could go to school just because they didn't speak english beside the fact that the two mexican women that were there putting their children into pre-k had proof of food stamp and medicaid help for their children. My son was basically punished for being a citizen of the US.

Answer 2

Why would they have any fear of reprisal from our government? We have made it clear that the will of most of the people and the letter of the law will be ignored in regard to illegal immigrants from Mexico. However if you are from Cuba, Haiti, or the Dominican Republic you will be on the first boat out of here.
The American voters have let the elected officials of this country get completely out of control for the past twenty years. They have swallowed the BS that "we need workers to do the jobs that Americans won't do". We have allowed these undocumented people to mow our yards, clean up our trash, and proliferate the social welfare system until the entire economy is suffering. The massive increase only feeds the Federal Governments greed for tax dollars and big business payoffs to their party campaign funds. We the people down here in the trenches get to watch our country we were once so proud of become a third world dumping ground. The infrastructure cannot handle the increase. Roads and schools are falling apart, traffic is a nightmare and crime is through the roof. I am a database analyst for a public agency and I know what the numbers are of services to the undocumented. But you will never see it in the press.

Answer 3

Increasing the number of Mexicans
working illegally in the United States
is among Mexico's highest foreign policy objectives.

Thus, in orchestrating this war on America,
the Mexican state is representing the desires
of the Mexican people as a whole.

What are these desires?

(1) Political revanchism—to regain control
of the territories Mexico lost to the U.S. in 1848,
thus avenging themselves for the humiliations
they feel they have suffered at our hands
for the last century and a half;

(2) Cultural imperialism—to expand
the Mexican culture and the Spanish language
into North America;

and especially

(3) Economic parasitism—to maintain and increase
the flow of billions of dollars
that Mexicans in the U.S. send back
to their relatives at home every year,
(39 BILLION US DOLLARS)
A major factor
keeping the chronically troubled Mexican economy afloat
and the corrupt Mexican political system
cocooned in its status quo.

These motives are shared
by the Mexican masses and the elites.

According to a Zogby poll in 2002,
58 percent of the Mexican people believe
the U.S. Southwest belongs to Mexico,

and 57 percent believe
that Mexicans HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREELY ENTER
the United States without U.S. permission.

Only small minorities disagreed with these propositions.






YES.....
Our Immigration Policies
Should Be AT LEAST On Par
With The Immigration Policies
Of Other Democratic (Free) Nations

Answer 4

We are america we don't care what other countries think about war, the environmnet, or anything else, but you want to listnen to them when it comes to immagration?
where are your posts about the canadian border?they hardly need passports. if you are such a patriot you should be outraged that terrorists entered the country through canada, not mexico. you should be calling for the wall to go up.
is it that you just hate seeing mexicans around because they look a little too much like the rightful owners of this land, or is it that you don't want too many mexicans in this country because then, the votes start to count?

Answer 5

Because the US has done nothing for 20 yrs.
WE just need to enforce the laws the US has. Why in the world would the US want to be like some other countries/. We are the best. People wouldn't be dieing in the desert to get here if we were like other countries

Answer 6

If you were a poor and unemployed foreign citizen who knew that droves of American employers were waiting on the other side of a lightly defended border to provide them with jobs, what would your decision be?

There are the American companies and small to mid-sized businesses that hire illegals. Then there are individuals such as yourself, who somehow fail to see the most important aspects of this issue, and choose to turn this into an emotional and pointless argument that too often devolves into racism or mindless rhetoric.

Answer 7

because illegal immigrants are theives. Does a car theif car what stealing a car will do to someone? If you are in my country illegally, YOU ARE A CRIMINAL. We should round up all the illegals and lock them up in a big pen and watch them curse out the country that they wanted to come to. They are not wanted or needed. They will not be missed. I would rather have a homeless person cut my grass or bus my table. At least they would appreciate the job.

Answer 8

The Mexican Government encourages them to come and they know that, if they make it, the US Businessman/Farmer is only too willing to give them a job.

Answer 9

It's a free country.

Answer 10

don't be stupid, you just have to fine the people who hire them and the problem will finish, don't need to waste money building the fence. its a offer and demand problem. its same with the problem of drugs if you wouldnt be drug addicts the problem of drug would stop.
