How far do you think they should be able to go? I asked this question before but it was pulled? I still think it was a legitimate question.

I don't think there would be any rights violated since illegals are NOT citizens and citizens would and should not be harrassed. I just think if there are neighborhoods where there are known illegals the INS or ICE should be able to seize and deport them. Also, what do you think about people being fined who rent to illegals?

That would take up too much of their time and I think a lot of people would be bothered unneccessarily. But I do think they should be more active instead of passive. It seems they just wait for someone to report illegals instead of doing something to find them.

No.
In United States law, adopted from English law, due process (more fully due process of law) is the principle that the government must normally respect all of a person's legal rights instead of just some or most of those legal rights when the government deprives a person of life, liberty, or property. Due process has also been frequently interpreted as placing limitations on laws and legal proceedings in order to guarantee fundamental fairness, justice, and liberty.
A search warrant is a written warrant issued by judge or magistrate which authorizes the police to conduct a search of a person or location for evidence of a criminal offense, and seize the evidence.
All jurisdictions with a rule of law and a right to privacy put constraints on the rights of police investigators, and typically require search warrants, or an equivalent procedure, for searches within a criminal enquiry. There typically also exist exemptions for "hot pursuit": if a criminal flees the scene of a crime and the police officer follows him, the officer has the right to enter an edifice in which the criminal has sought shelter.
Conversely, in authoritarian regimes, the police typically have the right to search property and people without having to provide justifications, or without having to secure an authorization from the judiciary.

It is hard to admit this to me. I would say they should get those with criminal infractions and do so, but on the other hand If the government do that to people that is illegal, and those people are not only paying taxes which by common sense- we all do, even a tourist- but besides they are paying a mortgage, paying big bills or have made any type of investment. I do not considered this fair at all, this is a manner of using people to enrich big corporates, banks and real estate, market companies that do qualify people for loans regardless of their status. This may have changed in some states, but most of them allow it to happen. The direct responsibility lies in those corporates. Once they stopped people from obtaining any type of asset or good because of their status, they will feel absorbed and in the necessity of departure, more yet people would stop coming here, since there would be no incentive or hope of better life, since at the end that is what people come here, not for anything else.

Well, lets take that to its logical conclusion....First of all, INS cannot just go house to house, willy nilly, invading peoples privacy and the sanctity of their homes, just because they suspect someone is illegal.....YOU NEED A SEARCH warrant, to enter someones home.....And you know how difficult it is to get a search warrant? You have to go to a judge and show probably cause.....YOU just can't go barging into peoples homes asking their legal status, its a violation of their civil rights.....Sorry, I am Hispanic American and I don't want INS coming to my home, because some fool suspected I might be illegal.....THAT'S called giving up freedoms for security and it doesn't WORK.....
You seriously need to get a grasp on democracy, go back to school and don't fall asleep in Govt class!

No chance! The sad thing that people don't realize is that this country's economy would actually collapse if all of the immigrants were deported. Remember, the Indians didn't have a choice when we came!

No, and it's not a legitimate question. It's like saying the police should be able to go house to house to find drugs. It's a little something called illegal search and seizure.

No, because it would be horrible and racist. It would be just like when Adolf Hitler's SS went house to house looking for Jews in World War II.
This would be especially true in neighborhoods like mine (most of my neighbors are Mexican or Dominican immigrants).
The government should give an amnesty to all the undoucumented immigrants - they're not terrorists, just poor people looking for a job!

No, our communities and businesses depend on immigrants, both legal and illegal. If they deported everyone our economy would be damaged very significantly. American business would become less competitive, and our entire GDP would decline leading to a depression.
That is all aside from the obvious human rights issues that it brings about.

No that wouldn't be legal, unless they had probable cause and a warrant.
However, they should deport every illegal immigrant, they are a tremendous drain on our economy, and they are simply crimminals.

Yes but they should shoot first and deport later.
