Not all illegal aliens are from third world country's.They come from all over the world and they come illegally.
When the settlers came to the new world ,there was not a country with uniform laws for the land.The Indians were made up of hundreds of different tribes,each with their own different languages and customs. There were no laws against mass immigration to this nation until 1924,there were a few exclusionary laws against certain country's and people in the 1800s but not against mass immigration from any where else.
Our ancestors came here legally (no laws so not illegal) they carved out a nation and thru wars with Indians and others they won procession of this land. Through purchases and wars this nation was formed into the United States of America.It doesn't matter if you agree with the tactics used or not,that was the way 99% of all nations were formed.Through war and taking the spoils of war.We balk at people coming here via illegal avenues, when this great nation offers legal ways to accomplish immigration.We do not need settlers now we are a country of 300 million people and hardly in need of any more people.
Illegal aliens are unlawful inhabitants of this land and need to be arrested and returned to their country of origin.No amnesty under any guise.Came legally and you are welcome ,get caught for being here illegally ,you get arrested and deported.That's the law.

Immigrants are considered illegal when they enter a country ... any country ... without making application for a visa or citizenship and circumvent the law in order to gain entrance into that country. It doesn't matter where they come from. If you're referring to the Europeans who settled in the U.S. at the beginning of U.S. history, technically they were illegal too! Our ancestors stole what they wanted from the American Indians, who were the owners of the land we formed the country from. However, there was no ordered society then and now there is. Society establishes the parameters by which ALL people in a country live. They are uniform and apply to all, regardless of the place they immigrate from. If the law is too much to bear for a person desiring to live here, there are many other places to look for a home ... they should keep moving 'til you find something they like!
Don't make excuses for illegals by comparing present day Americans to those who make a conscious decision to live here just under the radar. Immigrants have a choice ... those that don't want to play by the rules that apply to every other citizen should be rounded up and thrown out ... regardless! Illegal is ILLEGAL!

You are wrong about that. Anyone who is in the country illegally no matter what country they are from is considered an illegal. The settlers came to a land where there were no laws and colonized it. If the Native Americans had laws, then the settlers would have been illegals too.

lmao redunicorn, yeah you really have a problem with all those illegal Canadian immigrants ;)
If people only consider illegals to be from only 3rd world countries it's only because there's so much media coverage about the illegals from the 3rd world countries. It's ignorant to assume that all illegal immigrants come from 3rd world countries (although a lot of them do). There are illegals from other countries not considered to be 3rd world but there's just not as many. I live in Canada and we actually have a lot of illegal immigrants from Europe and I don't consider them settlers.

Consider this is the way you consider, rather inconsiderately label: immigrants, Europeans, settlers and all People. When were Europeans considered settlers? When they were considered Pilgrims?
You should consider learning about: "legal & illegal", "immigration laws", "3rd world countries", "history", etc.
Persons who immigrate legally by following the law are legal. Persons who ignore the immigration laws of the country they enter, are illegal. Country of origin doesn't matter.
Consider staying involved,
Thanks.

"Immigrants" are considered illegal when they don't have the appropriate visas and work permits (if they are working). It has nothing to do with country of origin. In fact the term WOP (used to describe illegal Italian immigrants) means, With Out Papers. Get real, this is not a racial issue, it is an issue of people coming here who have no regard for the law or waiting their turn.

Immigrants come from everywhere a lot of them come from non 3rd world countries. Where ever they come from they are considered illegal. When folks came from Europe if they came illegally they were sent back to there home country without being allowed to leave Ellis Is.
I think you should broaden your horizon's.

All people no matter where they come from that enter the USA illegally is a criminal because it did something illegally, violated our laws. It is not because they come from third world countries. If they come legally they are all welcome..The majority of the illegal immigration to the USA are from third world counties but you have to defined the meaning of third world country because if you take Mexico that is the richest country in Latin America, how could you consider it a third world country. In Mexico their citizen are extremely poor because of corrupted government and I don't think you could blame the Americans for that, do you? And the majority of their citizen are the ones that are coming to the USA illegally. Do you think that's fair,,, I don't... Have a good day.

We fully realize there are people here illegally from other than 3rd world countries. So I don't know what source you get your information from. The ones causing the most problems are from 3rd world countries so if they get too much attention....it's because they made it necessary and in some cases even demanded it.

If a foreigner chooses to bypass the laws of the US in order to remain in that country, they are illegal regardless of the country that they come from. Perhaps the Europeans blend in a little better, as the majority of the US population is white. Not to mention that Europeans will generally take the time to learn English, assuming they don't already know it prior to arrival, and not expect everyone to speak the language of their home country.
