What do you think about legalizing illegal immigrants?

Question

They are people just like all of us. They work real hard and get dumped on.Does anyone deserve that? Can we give them a break, and stop being racist. Do you agree with the worker program?

We ALL imigrated to the US at some point or another. We stole this land from the Indians AND the Mexicans. It's not the same as breaking into someone's house. I'ts land wrongfully gained. Not like private property or a house. Learn how to share.

Not all immigrants Steal Identity. Those ARE the criminals.

What about the ones who have families here and have'nt broken any laws? Children who are citizens born.

This country is not full, do your research wiz.

Answer 1

They broke our laws they all need to be shipped home. It as NOTHING TO DO with race.

If Canadians were coming her by the millions crowding our schools with English learners, crippling our hospitals with unpaid bills, stealing Americans identities: ruining their credit in the process, if they were 50% of the population in California jails and not paying taxes. I would want them sent home too!!!!

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE!!!!

Answer 2

"We ALL imigrated to the US at some point or another. We stole this land from the Indians AND the Mexicans. It's not the same as breaking into someone's house. I'ts land wrongfully gained. Not like private property or a house. Learn how to share."

I hate to tell you this, but I was born here. I couldn't be an IMMIGRANT, you see, because I never lived anywhere else. So how could your first sentence (quoted, above) possibly be true?

I am not a thief. I did not steal any land or anything else from anyone. So, please speak for yourself, and don't use the word "WE" when referring to law-abiding US citizens.

We PURCHASED this land, and not just from mexico. Since when is a bill of SALE considered wrongfully gained? That's called BUSINESS.

It is exactly like someone breaking into your home .. this land IS our home. Americans are the first to offer help and support to the downtrodden, but we OFFER it, it should not be demanded or required that we be generous. If I earn something, I don't HAVE to share unless I want to. Charitable contributions are a CHOICE.

Answer 3

I am not racist and I don't think we should make them legal immigrants. You are ignoring alot of key things first of all they are illegal that means they broke the law it doesn' t matter if they are just trying to make a living the fact is they did it the wrong way. While yes we are all immigrants we went through steps to do it the right way is that to much to ask. And we purchased the land we own from Mexico it is ours the Indians came here many many years ago they to are immigrants, I think we should continue the guest worker program and allow more to come in this country the right way but for us to forgive the ones now here what does that say about us we are supposed to be built on laws and so far the only ones we are upholding are confiining the men and women who are sworn to uphold the laws. Think about it

Answer 4

3 of my great grandparents were immigrants. But they did not come here illegally. They followed the letter of the law - they waited the weeks of quarantine in the steerage class of thier ships, then went through proper processing on Ellis Island (which was little better than being herded like cattle), and once in the US they applied for and received their citizenship. They also had to show proof of knowing someone and had to show that they had at least $25.00 on them (19-teens), so that they would not be a social burden. They willingly accepted that thier names were changed by miscommunications. And they never complained a single day about any of it.

I think that people that just run across the border, or over stay thier visits, and demand to be citizens are wrong. There are plenty of people around the world that are on waiting lists to get here. They are law abiding people that are doing the right thing, and can't gain access, while other people are just forcing themselves upon America. The illegal aliens should not be made automatic citizens, just because they were sneakier.

Edit: If they are here illegally, then they HAVE broken a law.

Answer 5

Amnesty is not the way to solve our problem.

And it is a problem that has been going on for much too long.

I don't think anybody is denying that ILLEGAL immigrants are people, but that does not mean that they should be allowed to enter this country illegally.

It is not fair to the taxpaying citizens of this country to subsidize their education, health care and so on. Anyone looking to become a legal citizen should have to pay back taxes. That's a MUST!!! No more free ride.

The country is full, and some of you folks need to get shipped home.

GET WITH THE PROGRAM ! ! !

Answer 6

I am against giving illegal immigrants amnesty. They broke immigration laws to come here illegally. That makes them criminals. If we are going to give them amnesty, we should give amnesty to everyone in the jails, state prisons and federal prisons because they're criminals too. We can't play favorites, now can we?

We didn't steal this land from the Mexicans. We bought it, and rather cheap at that. I don't know about you, but my great grandparents came here in the 1800's, well after immigration laws were set up. They didn't take land from the Indians or Mexico, nor did they come here illegally. I never immigrated anywhere. I was born here. So kindly explain to me how I was an immigrant at one point in time if I was born here, my parents were born here and my grandparents were born here.Just because my great grandparents were immigrants doesn't make me one. I'm not them.

Answer 7

Let's say I break into your house. Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave. But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors; I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest
(except for when I broke into your house). According to the protesters, not only must you let me stay, you must add me to your
family's insurance plan, educate my kids, and provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do your yard work
because he too is hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part). If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my
friends who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my right to be there. It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer
house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm hard-working and honest, um, except for well, you know.
And what a deal it is for me!! I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do
about it without being accused of selfishness, prejudice and being an anti-housebreaker. Oh yeah, and I want you to learn my language so
you can communicate with me.

Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?!

Answer 8

This is BS! They broke our constitution, developed after we immigrated here. We're full and don't need these lawbreakers to turn our country into their own 3rd world home.
Look at where they come from...open your eyes! They do it to theirselves and now bleed our country, our money, or HARDWORKING money to support them.

They don't fight for us, or have any love for America.

Deport illegals NOW and fine and jail all those who support them!

BTW lets say an illegal rapes a child. They have footage of him, even his name. But he's invisible to us because he doesn't exist! How does a illegal register as a sex offender? And that has nothing to do with race chic...every group of people have bad apples. More bad apples in the slums then anywhere else.

Answer 9

I think legalizing illegal immigrants would be a bad choice because that is just letting them cheat through life. They've already come in here ILLEGALLY, why are you going to give them citizenship? And I don't understand why you are pulling the race card when citizenship has nothing to do with race!

Answer 10

Illegal is Illegal!! Plain, simple. Stop making honest law abiding people out to being racist, That is so sad!
