No, I would not deport him, even if he did not save my life. I have met many hard working illegal immigrants that really wanted to get legalized but they could not , at times believe me it is not all their fault. Lots of them come to the States hoping to become legal, they want to escape their misery in their poor country, I feel bad for many of them. Obviously there is a limit to everything, not all are good , I believe that rotten apples should leave ,and the good people that really want to contribute and work hard to have a better life should stay. Something needs to change , if the goverment where they came from does not help them what are they supposed to do, other than trying to find a better life for themselves? We are fortunate , but we need no to forget that we all were immigrants from EUROPE before United states became what it is today.

a million. unlawful immigrants take jobs that pay shrink wages, which includes even probable jobs that pay below minimum income. This drives down the fee of wages extensive-unfold. 2. some unlawful immigrants have have been given right here for the era of a thank you to fool the kit into giving them welfare and reward. this would be a drain to our government, and not truthful to those that have jobs who pay for those reward. even besides the certainty that, unlawful immigrants are many times no longer eligible for federal reward. 3. unlawful immigrants have not pledged any loyalty to the U. S., and in some circumstances would additionally be detrimental to the U. S.. those everyday to be detrimental would desire to extremely be deported. 4. If we located them in prison for breaking the regulation, it would be a drain on our penal kit. Taxpayers fund the jails, too.

I personally would hate to be put in that situation but the law is the law and well if it were Saddam Hussein that saved your life but killed precious other lives do you spare him, help him, have mercy only God can make that decision but in this case.......
Its a question of moral and I would save anybody if I could but to break the law I would not. I support hard working American citizen Polish, Russian Mexican Indian etc......all nationalities but our USA and most countries as well have reasons why we cannot just accept anyone laws that say you must file petition seek asylum and so on why can't some of us just follow directions its worse and heart breaking for both sides believe me when the choices we make turn for the worst. I personally again have to say save my life I owe you big time and pay it forward but if my hands are tied nothing I can do please read the section from my hometown its someone you should know

No way. I'd offer to help him reach safety in Canada.
For the ones who said they'd turn him in, what documentation did the first European settlers have when they came to America? My many-greats-grandfather, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independance, came to America to gain wealth and provide a better life for his family. He didn't have to ask anyone's permission. He and his family worked very hard.
I say if a person is willing to work, we should allow them to stay regardless if they have asked for permission from some government agency first, and if we are having trouble with criminals or lazy people, we can just deport them to . . . say. . Australia.

Well saving someones life is the right thing to do you do it because it is the right thing to do. That would be a change for someone who has no regard for the law or respect for the laws of the people whos country he is in.
I would not deport him I dont have that authority.

Would you arrest a drug dealer if he saved your life?
Would you arrest a rapist if he saved your life?
Would you arrest a murderer if he saved your life?
At what point would your personal business supercede your obiligation to do your duty to enforce the law?
If you would fail to do your sworn duty just because the person saved your life would it really be that much different hen to take a bribe so the criminal would not be arrested? You benefit from both situations.
Once you move the line between right and wrong, you break it.

Not a chance. I think our immigration laws need to be relaxed. We are the great melting pot and are a great country because of it. Walling hard working people out is a bad idea.

I know I did not ask him to come here, and if he had to save my life I am sure I did not ask for that either...
I look at it like this if he stayed in his country Id be dead..... Ashes to ashes dust to dust........
Dead I would rather be....

Well, since I don't have the power to deport people, no. If I had that power, more people would be gone now.

I would say no. When someone has saved your life and done something beneficial for you why not do something in return?
