For those of you against illegal immigration is there anything that would cause you to support even one person

Question

Any exception at all?

you are right it does keep them down that's why i'm wondering why people don't understand

I have supported those that are here illegally

The question was not to convince anyone to I just really wanted to know and apperciate the honest answers most are without malice. I respect you for keeping your convictions.

Honestly for the last answerer this time i have no idea of what your saying.

Answer 1

If the person really wanted to go through it legally but can't cause of financial troubles, then perhaps I'd help and fund money his/her way, if it will get the person in legally and out of trouble.

Otherwise, if the person just wants to flout the law and cannot be patient enough to wait in line, or actually has money to pay smugglers to get them in, then Im so sorry but I will not support them. The Law is the Law.

Answer 2

There is a downside to this questions that usually results in a massive kick *** fine and/or jail time...
I think the only reasons I would support an illegal immigrant would be a child who has fled a war-torn country or a woman who has fled extreme violence (but the latter is not usually the case...)
Upon saying that, I would be contacting the appropriate channels to see what could be done, and how to help this person apply for citizenship. In Australia, we have things like Assurance of Support - which basically means you pay a bond with the government and sign a "contract" to say you will support this person (the terms vary from 2 years +) throughout that period. If the person applies for social security, then you are liable to pay back the "debt" to the government once your assurance has ended.
I fully support programs like AoS BUT in most cases, the person who has come here illegally would be deported. It is heartbreaking because there are so many reasons why they would want to come to our country but in the end, I would say I would support for a week or even a few months as long as I had cleared things with the appropriate authorities and knew that I wouldn't be jeopardising my status.
This is a good question and it falls down to ethics and morals - most people will take the road of self-preservation and will not want to face any penalties, even if it means helping someone who desperately needs assistance.
It's sad when you realise that humanity and the acts of kindness don't really exist anymore.

Answer 3

To support one is too many to justify that compassion and being humane is a cause to be pro illegal immigration. Economist would argue that there shld be a free movement of people and commodities. There is also proven movement of people crossing the border to use our medical facilities for free, some to stay indefinitely with children in tow to take advantage of free education. People shld learned if not punitively to recognize the validity of the border after all it has been abused for so many years. The only significant transborder cooperation that Mexico has provided the US sadly is the massive flow of the poor and the needy as if the poor and the needy is non existent in this country.

Answer 4

No,if it was good enough for my grandparents to enter legally, learn the language,pay their taxes and become an actual part of America rather than trying to become a country within another,demanding rights they had not earned,fraudulently using social services,refusing to do even the smallest things that the law required,then it's good enough for the modern immigrant. I use that word loosely since the current batch aren't immigrants they are tresspassers. So if someone came to your door,demanded that you let them live their with their family, made you give up the master bedroom in order to provide room for extra family members while you slept on the couch,and then demanded you foot the bill for most of their needs would that be cool with you? That is after all basically what America is getting.

Answer 5

No. Not at all. They came to our country illegally...they should not be here. They know the risk, they know what they face. So it is there own fault if anything happens to them. Say I have a cold heart, say I'm cruel or un-kind....It matters not. What dose matter...is that they should not have been over here in the first place. And illegal tolerance should not be allowed any longer. For too long they have came to our country...robed our lands, taken from our economy, raped and changed our way of life! It is ridiculous how some can be tolerant of this issue! Illegals coming into other country's, you risk massive prison time, even death!! But we have simply deported those who come, and tell them not to do it again. WE Have been more than kind. They have extend there invitation for longer then what is needed..what is wanted. No exceptions lay open to an illegal...unless they want help out of our country....I would gladly help then...(and only in presents of 3 fully armed men and my trusty twin barrel.)

Answer 6

I have actually helped one person who was illegal, but it was not her fault. She came from Myanmar on a visa to be with a man she intended to marry. Her future husband promised to help her learn English and get her papers, told her he'd never loved anyone like her before. She came here and he used her citizenship status(which she was not allowed to fix) to control her behavior. Was always threatening to have her deported back to Myanmar. She was forbidden to formally learn English, but after 8 years of living here illegally, she did manage to learn some. He even had a vasectomy(unknown to her), and belittled her for not being able to produce children. I don't regret supporting her because she had every intention of following the law, and the abuse that took place was(obviously) not her fault.

Answer 7

IF that person were willing to join the military, take an oath of allegiance to this country and foresake Mexico or wherever they come from, once they returned from the war, I would have no problem with them since I would think they have the right to become citizens. The government is doing this now, and why more illegals don't take advantage of the situation is beyond me - other than the fact they might be cowards.

Answer 8

useful, yet that may not the way it occurs. you're of course not old adequate to remember the previous amnesties that promised secured borders yet did not and then served purely as magnets to entice 1000's and 1000's extra unlawful migrants into the country. I remember while i became youthful and idealistic as properly. you will get extra effective as quickly as you are the only determining to purchase the social expenditures of a lot of those "human beings in simple terms attempting to extra perfect their lives". the maths is unsustainable by way of fact there in simple terms are not adequate working tax payers left, exceptionally in California that's the place maximum persons of the 20+ million illegals stay. it is a shame that the third international is so tousled and that i think of the US ought to furnish foreign places help to the "donor countries" that furnish us lots of unskilled and undocumented detrimental. yet, no u . s . a . is obliged to wreck itself by using admitting extra poverty circumstances than it provides for. And the US is at that threshold genuine now.

Answer 9

What we lack here, is the human element....Everyone here is saying no, no, no.....But if they walked in the shoes of an illegal, perhaps they would feel very differently.....As citizens we were fortunate to have been born in this country, not by our own choice....For those born in a third world country, they didn't have that choice either....Those who have been here for generations, and have family and roots here, I would support those immigrants, it would be short of criminal to break those families up, just for the sake of upholding the law....

Answer 10

No, Legal is the best way. It allows for the person to be able to have a job and not work under the table.

Being an illegal keeps you down
