What does an "illegal" look like?

Question

We often hear people say that they see "illegals" here and there.

But they also claim they are not labeling "illegals" based upon race.

What are the traits that lead you to say someone is "illegal"?
When you see poor Whites, do you assume they are "illegals" from Canada?

Details, please!

Answer 1

They come in every shape and color, but the majority of illegals in the U.S. are med-dark complected and speak Spanish as a 1st language.

Answer 2

What does an "illegal" look like? Like every other human being on the planet. What makes someone " illegal " isn't appearance - it is the actions they choose to do.

You can't walk down the street and point out a cat burglar , drug dealer, car thief or murderer unless you know that person personally or see them doing questionable activities - but that doesn't make that action excusable or any less wrong.

In a perfect world no one would break the law, there would be no need for prisons and everyone would live in peace. But the world isn't perfect so the best we can hope for is that laws will be enforced and criminals will be punished. If you can find excuses for illegal immigration -- why not excuse illegal entry into your home or illegal use of your car by anyone that chooses? Where do you draw the line?

Answer 3

An illegal person looks just like you and I. What denotes any person as illegal is someone from another country who's in the US without a proper permit to work. An illegal can be of any race, from Mexicans, Chinese, Canadians, and even Indians. But they look NO DIFFERENT from us. Do people who have AIDS look different?

Answer 4

Trick question huh? Trying to see if you can call racism, eh?

Even the "pro-illegal alien" media makes it obvious that the illegals primarily come from Mexico.

When you live near the problem, the answer to your question is obvious. Neighborhoods, entire towns demographically changing within a year or two, all across the country make it obvious. It's obvious when the illegals themselves admit they've come in from Mexico.

Answer 5

That really is a dificult question to answer...Because some illegal people they..Move here because they are runing away from the law in their country and sometimes they are from a wealthy family etc..Is not about color or language or even about the looks...

Answer 6

Because I'm of Eastern European heritage, and "white," I can say that most of the illegal Eastern Europeans that I've met look neither poor or illegal - they know how to save their money better than most Americans I've met and know how to allocate it so that they don't "look" poor.
What an odd question.

Answer 7

You bring up a good point. Sorry I can't answer this I would lose 10 points. Southern California is filled with illegals and I'm beyond pissed at our government for letting this happen.

Answer 8

Easy question, because I have caught almost a thousand on my property in AZ.

They look hispanic, since 98% of them were from Mexico, they look like Mexican migrant workers. They look like they feel : scared, dehydrated, tired, and dirty. They look relieved when they first see me, or my sons, or my husband, they look confused when I tell them in Spanish that I am holding them until they are picked up by Border Patrol. They look pitiful when they beg me for cooperation in breaking U.S. Law, they look deseprate when the coyotes offer me bribes, or promises of bribes. Then they look worried when the crying and pleas don't work. I also know what dead illegals look like, their bodies abandoned and stinking on my land. I am sure those are the details you aren't looking for.

I could care less what race the illegals are, they are illegal, they are trespassers, and when they run into me, they are always deported.

Answer 9

Come on over to the San Fernando Valley....down around Pacoima, Arleta, or Sun Valley. I'll be happy to point them out. I'll wear a Border Patrol shirt and you can watch them walk away from me as fast as possible.

Answer 10

Just drive around Santa Ana, CA. It'll be self-explanatory.
