Why don't people realize the harm they cause by breaking any country's immigration laws?

Question

Why do illegal aliens ignore laws?
By what mandate do they think they have that right?
Id like an answer with out any racism from anyone .

Answer 1

I think they just don't care . They are only interested in how they can feather their own nests. Their own needs are all that matter to them. The only mandate they have is the mistaken belief that the USA is the answer to all their problems and they simply don't care.
I can understand wanting a better life but why not respect the nation that you are getting that better life from. Sometime that what we take or steal has less value that what we have worked for .

Answer 2

Because there is no consequence for their actions. They know that, once across, the US government will aid and abet them. They know that Border Patrol policy does not permit interior enforcement. They know that they can put their kids in our schools and apply for free breakfast and lunch programs and the government will look the other way. They know that they can "drop anchor" here and the Government will make the taxpayers pay for it. They know of all of the benefits of breaking the law but rarely, if ever, feel the consequence.

For any law to be effective the consequence must far outweigh the benefit. With regard to illegal immigration the opposite is true.

Answer 3

When you are economically desperate, you aren't in the frame of mind to be sensitive about immigration laws especially if doing things the legal way means waiting in line for years.

Most reason that if they work hard and keep their noses clean, they aren't doing any harm.

And they're right.

The rub comes when their criminal compadres come here with the full intention of continuing their criminal ways in what they know is a more lucrative environment.

And the other downside is when the unskilled and dis-functionally poor in Mexico come over here to remain uneducated and dis-functionally poor over here.

Even though they are dis-functional, they know they will be better taken care of in the U.S. and that motivates them to attempt to get here.

This opportunistic desperation has no room for the timidity or self-restraint inherent in serious considerations of another country's immigration laws.

What was a WOP?

That was a term used for Italian immigrants WITH OUT PAPERS.

The term later became the racial slur "wop"
