Criminals are criminals; do not confuse them with illegal immigrants. If you do, don't forget to tell me the #'s of Americans in jail, in Gangs, in debt with hospitals. If that is the only argument you have, might as well admit you are a racist. If you want to include yourself in the racist club, than you have the right to include law breakers in the illegal immigrant club.

Illegal Immigrants are law breakers and therefore criminals.
But I agree in that there is a difference between them and the VIOLENT criminals.
But illegals should still counted as criminals.

Can you tell me the meaning of illegal ? You just used it to describe the people that you defend so rigorously . In my American dictionary that word "illegal"" means against the law.
Anything against the law is illegal and illegal means a criminal act.
We aren't talking about the legal American criminals,of course there are many ,Just like there are many legal criminal people in Mexico,and other Latin American countries,and in Russia and where ever else the other illegal aliens come from.
It seems to me that perhaps you are far more of a racists than I am.I am anti illegal alien .But I simply don't care what nation they come from or their color.So if it makes you feel better then call me what ever you wish.its simply words nothing more.Over used race cards and stale words.It docent bother me.I know who I am.

Every country has and will always have criminals. We must deal with the criminals among our citizens. We should NOT have criminals among us who are in our country illegally to add to that already large number. Illegal immigrants commit crimes against every American citizen every day they are in our country. From the moment they crossed our border they were a criminal. When they used a stolen, forged or fake ID (a felony, I might add), drove a car without a drivers license or car insurance, lied under oath (perjury)or committed any other crime it only added to their criminality. The first one, illegally entering our country, was just the beginning of their crime spree.

I understand what you are saying and I agree.. but the fact remains, illegal is illegal. If you are an illegal immigrant you are breaking a law of this country, no matter how deserving you are. I am not saying we should not let other peoples into our country, all I am asking is that they do it legally.
The U.S. cannot be the result of another country, Mexico, solving it's problems by sending them to us. We have to stand up for what is right. And right is obeying the law.

Do not compare immigrants with illegals because they are not the same. You can not compare illegals to Americans either, because Americans have the right to break the law in their own country and they also are made to face the consequences. Enough of your lies woody.

Illegal aliens are most definitely criminal as they broken the law just by being in this country. I am a 61y/o black female and I am not racist. Last I heard, being in any kind of debt is not a criminal offense.

grow up a criminal is a criminal. and boy i am not racist. i have black, American Mexican, Porto rican and American Indians in my family. so go bark up someone elses tree. don't bark on mine. i grew up with all races, i come from Chicago Illinois. i lived around all walks of life from around the world. i use to think the Mexicans was always put down by other races. when i moved to the south i continued to work around Mexicans, i didn't care if they was legal or not. but the day a Mexican man i did respect said fu ck Americans and English and then tried putting his hands on me is when i realized what my fellow Americans have been talking about. live and let live, but do it respectfully. my older sister is with a mexican man from mexico, he treats her good and he's legal. i hope he gets his citizenship soon. he said this is his country now.

Illegal immigrants are criminals, so no, I am not confused. They are breaking the law and are therefore criminals.
