I mean why the hell are there people who support something that is literally and figuratively ILLEGAL? My gosh whatever happened to respect for the law?
FOCUS ON THE QUESTION PLEASE... Lets keep things civil if possible and avoid any unnecessary remarks.
Before you even answer do keep in mind that I am not American, I do not live in America and I have no intention of becoming an American (at least illegally).

Hey Fashion... so you believe then that your country has a duty to these people is that it? That is virtually akin to saying that Mexico and every other nation with people who want out should just become a state of the US.
And by who's standard are you saying it is right to flout laws hmm?

Because most who support amnesty for illegal aliens feel that they are humans and already here. It would be impossible to deport the staggering numbers of illegals in our country if we did. Some also feel that we all should have open borders and roam freely from one country to another without identification of who anyone is.
I disagree with that. I do not support the idea of automatic amnesty for illegal aliens that broke laws. Laws are here for people to follow, without a law there would be chaos. Come here legally, I know some say, only the wealthy immigrants are entitled, that is why you can break the law if you are poor. I say that is utter BS..

Totally agree. They can come over here and invade our towns, take jobs away from LEGAL citizens, yet everyone feels "sooo sorry" for them. I don't. Not one bit. Its the governements fault for not taking action. They are mad that women are coming over here and having babys and t hen on WIC and welfare -- but they won't change the rules...or they won't tighten down border security. We ahve more and more poorer people in the US because these illegals are taking away jobs from people that would love to have a job. I am so tired of the illegals chanting that they are doing jobs that americans won't. So, what you are saying is that you went around the US and asked EVERYONE if they wanted that job, and when we all said no, you took it. PLEASE!!! what a load of crap. We have teachers in schools that can't teach to all of his/her students because a lot of them don't even speak english!! its crazy. Become an american -- do it the right way -- do it the legal way. Otherwise get the hell out. Oh, and another favorite of all this crap is the illegals chaging the NATIONAL ANTHEM into spanish. What in the hell are you all thinking?? This country was founded on the language of English -- the most widely spoken language in the world...please, make it harder on everyone. How offensive??? If you want to stay here, but you want to change it back to your 3rd world hell hole you came from... just go back and save us the clean up process...
ok... im done.

As an American and living in a super left leaning state I have seen that the people who support illegals have a financial stake in them or are just have a socialist view of how the world should function.Politicians see them as future voters who will be loyal if they manage to get them legal status,advocates live on grants and donations for supporting illegals.Some people say they take jobs Americans don't want,that is a lie.We have illegal truck drivers,roofers,construction workers,landscapers,auto mechanics,factory workers,and the list goes on.What do you do for a living? Do you not think an illegal could do it?to say that illegals take jobs Americans don't want seems to hint that illegals are uneducated this is not true,Most use stolen identity's and ruin the benefits of the person they are posing as.We don't need them as they use more in public services than they contribute to the area they reside in they do not pay taxes,get auto insurance,register there auto or have health insurance,,since you can walk into an emergency room and not be turned away due to lack of money the hard working tax payer is left with the tab for everything they use or break,

Because by today's immigration laws all your grandparents will be considered illegals. Coming to this country 100 years ago was 1000 times easier than what it is now. In order to come legally, you gotta be either wealthy or have an extraordinary talent. Poor people with lack of opportunity cant come legally, even if they want. Im agree that all criminals that come here to do bad things must be cast out, but there are a lotta good people that all they want is a better life for their family. And remenber that laws are not always justice and good, cause slavery was once legal and every thing that Hitler did in Germany was legal.

Maybe if they knew it was a Federal crime they wouldn't read below
Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):
A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:
assists an illegal alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or
encourages that illegal alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or
knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.
Penalties upon conviction include criminal fines, imprisonment, and forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime. Anyone employing or contracting with an illegal alien without verifying his or her work authorization status is guilty of a misdemeanor. Aliens and employers violating immigration laws are subject to arrest, detention, and seizure of their vehicles or property. In addition, individuals or entities who engage in racketeering enterprises that commit (or conspire to commit) immigration-related felonies are subject to private civil suits for treble damages and injunctive relief.
Gidget...What about the human factor of us legal Americans.Do we not deserve humane treatment also ?
Why only be cause we are blessed with legality do we not deserve to have rights just as you desire for the illegal immigrant ?We are Americans and as unkind as you may think it is,we deserve to be first in our own country.All our life we are taught by our parents to follow the law, to follow the rules,we are told that cheaters never win and winners never cheat.And now the children and young adults see that ,no our parents were wrong.You can break the law ,you can cheat and you are a winner.And doesn't that make the legal people the losers ?.Well honey I'm an American and I'm very use to being a winner and I don't
intend to stop now.

There are two basic problems I have with immigration:
1. Many countries south of our border do not inoculate their citizens and so, the immigrants who come here may, or may not, bring with them diseases that could be harmful to our citizens and/or children.
2. The lack of accountability of the governments south of our border of the monies that are afforded those governments through the International Monetary Fund and block grants/interest free loans/financial aid/etc. is a concern of mine. Where is all of that money going?
Otherwise, I have no problem with people coming to America and work for their money rather than giving it to them. There is more to be said for the illegal, or undocumented, worker, rather than for the legal government/nation where those immigrants call home.

WalMart has been fined better than as quickly as for hiring illegals. IBF meat packing (who factors lots of the packaged meat to the U. S.) has been raided many situations for hiring illegals. i'm specific in case you seem at any significant corporation and their corporation sort you will see that better earnings is their purpose above something. for this reason, hiring decrease priced unlawful hard artwork is an elementary way for a mid-point supervisor to satisfy their earnings targets for the three hundred and sixty 5 days in his/her branch and for that reason keep their activity. through fact the government. cracked down on the border final three hundred and sixty 5 days, the unlawful hard artwork at homestead Depot has all yet disappeared. yet they used to stand out front at Lowes besides.

I think supporters either 1) are or have family members who are illegal or want to avoid our immigration limits, or 2) are from countries who want to get rid of their own poor so they don't have to pay for them themselves or 3) perceive that they will get political power through leading larger masses and want that power.
Then there are those who aren't FOR illegal immigration but feel sorry for those who have already immigrated illegally.

Most of it stems from big business. Some very rich people would have to share a little if they paid American labor. They are the greedy, ruthless corporate ego maniacs. Then you have the bleeding heart liberals, they are just as bad or worse.

the us plays both sides, they do not want illegal immigrants because they are illegal but in turn they do because they are cheap labor and most times do the jobs no else wants to do. Everyone yells about how they take jobs but in reality how many of us are willing to bend down for hours at a time and pick vegetation
