Why do people support illegal immigrants?

Question

It's illegal. If you come here illegally, you have no rights. I don't understand why some Americans support these criminals.

You guys are saying how they're helping our economy. Where's all those billions of dollars going that they're sending to Mexico each year? Shouldn't that be going into our economy, and not Mexicos?

The constitution specifically states it as an illegal act. No one has still given an actual answer as to why people support these criminals, just examples that really don't correlate with what I asked.

Answer 1

Employers accommodates illegals because of low wages.

Answer 2

I do not realise why you feel you are helping illegals. They're totally off the books. They cannot gather Social Security or well being care. They exist through taking jobs the ordinary American do not wish, like day hard work. Sure, they do not pay taxes, however they do not get advantages both. The system of citizenship takes many years. The ones I speak to are inclined to move by way of the system, however meanwhile they need to feed their households. I do not realise the hatred and terrible reactions. This nation used to be constructed through immigrants, that is our history. All of our forefathers got here from different nations to search a greater existence in America. Why is that flawed now?

Answer 3

Paraphrased and spin the coin on it's head:
Americans (English, Dutch, French, Portuguese and other participating explorers of the New World) are no less culpable of genocide of the native Indians(Injuns) but are given the grace (of forgiveness) through force of arms at the cost of whole tribes and civilisations.

Criminals are social definitions and constructs backed by Law. Until the pages of social contract are rewritten, people as humans, are associated to intrinsic rights, in contrast with Hitler's Jews who were accorded less than animal rights.

Should illegality be intrinsic in simply being an immigrant, defined unequivocally and upheld in social consensus, retrogression to Will and Might will validate genocide as an amenable solution to lebens raum, and prove its rightful place in History once more.
_______________taxes_______________
The goods and services consumption tax provides that all consumers and providers are liable to tax. Unless basic necessities of food, water, housing and healthcare, are avoided or not required, everyone is subject to tax, with funds returning to the State's and Federal coffers.

Answer 4

The elite of America are trying to get their corporations to make more money by spending less. This in turn leads to people searching for the cheapest form of labor, and if someone is willing to work for half of what someone else is often times they will get the job. Better enforcement of labor standards could very well curb this problem if not eliminate it entirely.

Answer 5

I have no idea why people support illegals.

I guess they like the idea that TB (tuberculosis) is coming back to the USA with a vengeance. I guess they like illegal kids with TB sitting next to their kids in school.

Illegals aren't tested when they sneak across our borders, so they bring in all their diseases. But illegal supporters must love that.

Answer 6

What did the state of California report today? The illegals cost $2.6 Billion dollars last year? And that was just the cost of chasing them down and what not, that is not the cost in welfare and medical expenses. As I remember, America was here a couple hundred years without their economical help. Seems with the money being spent ON them we would be better off WITHOUT them.

Answer 7

I don't support them having rights in this country, but I support worrying about other topics. I honestly think that immigration is a made up topic that goes right along with the other xenophobic garbage that a certain political party is trying to scare the public with. I've lived in a state where I've heard Spanish on the streetcorner all my life, and my city hasn't changed for the worse because of it. Besides, they don't drain our economy- they help support it, which is a miracle considering how little we pay them.

Answer 8

The person who made the comments about the unions has
a point. Do you want to support union workers, who are often lazy and overpaid, when the choice is immigrants who work for the lowest possible wages, and actually work for a living? I think the emphasis should be on how to make these people who work legal immigrants, and how to get rid of the lazy union workers and bosses, who exploit their employers, not to mention consumers. Unions had a point in the past, but many times now, it's because they want to rip off their employer, who has to inflate their price, or in the case of civil servants, the government has
to raise taxes to pay for their ludicrous demands.

Answer 9

Well if they are paying taxes in buying 50,000 dlls trucks and shopping groceries etc.
why it is not illegal taking money from them? mostly blacks are on welfare

Why don't we help the real Americans (Natives)
plus as far as I know Mexico is in North America right? therefore should we call them what?.......
Oh you know people that will do the work they do OK??
