Why is it so much to ask, for people to just obey the laws ? The laws are in place, you don't like them, then become a American citizen and try to change them. If you want to do something, then follow the procedures. Democracy works for the peoples best intrest, but when people try to side step the laws, you get what is called anarcy.

Well, our government has a hard time, for whatever stupid reason, enforcing our laws, so why bother following them. The people that take the time to follow our laws and do things right are for the most part the honest ones.
Go to any retail store and watch the front door for a while...when the "inventory control" alarm goes off who stops? The person stealing or the person that honesly paid for all their items? I work in retail and 9 times out of 10 the theif doesn't stop...all the honest folks do....wild isn't it. I think you have a valid point.

For one thing to many sex offenders from Mexico are entering the country with a clean slate free to carry that way of life until their actions catch up with their attitudes towards life. What you can do in Mexico you just can't do in it America but illegal aliens want those laws changed to be just like they had it Mexico so I guess Canada is the next stop

because they are in much worse living condition that in the States. Not saying its right, but put your self in their shoes where your life sucks and you cant find a job that can earn a decent living and your life is going no where. Law or no law, wouldnt you feel a strong urge to sneak across the boarder where even the lowest paying jobs earns you 6 times the wage youd otherwise earn?
If you say no then you are most likely lying to your self.
On the otherhand the local government also encourages people to sneak across the boarder, their government printed brochures that tells them the dangers of crossing and other tips. Illegal immigrants contribute so much money to their home country's economy, even the government encourage it. Even though the Mexican president condamed the fense because it would result in more death, the real reason is purely economic.
*ironicly Mexican law can put illegal immigrants in prison for up to 2 years.

Its not just immigration thats not the biggest problem I rather have people sneaking in here then murders rape etc I think that if you are going to make that point that you need to look at it all I am not saying that it is right for immigration because quite frankly they do need to be here the legal way but it is not Americas only problem and you need to argue everything there is crime but all you care about is people crossing the border

Well they are here illegally so obviously they arnt going to follow our laws. Either they dont know them or they really dont care.
At the same time --have a heart, these people are dirt poor and just want to make enough money to feed their family back in Mexico. Its easy for us to turn our heads and say, too bad they need to do it the legal way, but when you are faced with really having to feed "starving children" YOU would probably break some laws too, no?
Just some food for thought.
Personally I dont see the immigration issue as being that big of a deal that everyone is making it out to be. Hell they do all of the jobs that us Americans are either too lazy or too proud to do.

Mexicans don't give a crap about our laws. They just care about getting free stuff from us. They are trashy parasites.

Because they have no respect for Our Country or Our Laws. They want was they want, and the Liberal Democrats, and others, are using these Illegals for their own greedy reasons!

Darling, Darling.....Why is it so hard to obey laws? Ask that to your neighbor, ask that to yourself, ask that to anyone you want. What I find interesting is that you just have to 'use' it to support your point of view...in immigration.

If they don't like them and aren't a citizen of the US, why don't they become one somewhere else? If there is NO country they like, maybe the problem isn't with the countries.
