Because some people jump into their answers without truly reading and comprehending what is being asked. And, it is a very weak standard argument that some use to advocate illegal immigration.

There are two reasons to bring that up. First, as an anti-illegal immigrant supporter, it is a foundation that although we are all (Almost all, anyhow) descendants of immigrants, our ancestors entered this country legally, either through the initial settlement of the colonies or through legal immigration afterward.

For the pro-illegal immigrant supporter, it is a statement to emphasize that our nation was founded on immigration. These people however tend to overlook the differentiation between legal immigration and illegal immigration. To facilitate that overlooking we have the PC term of "undocumented immigrants".

You propose the territory was once seized illegally. Actually, the United States paid $15,000,000 for the territory, and it was once regarded some distance to so much to pay. Mexico leaped on the possibility to do away with the situation and... did. So you're off base. And while you talk as you do.. with first-class disrespect for my nation, it's transparent you're unaware that Mexico expropriated much more land from others. Mexico has dedicated many worldwide crimes through the years and you want plenty extra college at the subject. You want additionally to seem up the territory that was once bought to the United States. You will observe your record is a dream.. no longer truth. Finally, Mexico went to California in 1836, demanded again taxes for sixteen years or they meant to take it. The California Government had no longer noticeable the Mexican Representatives for an excessively, very very long time, besides, the 'Californio's' willingly agreed. The Mexican Ambassador desired the cash in Silver.. non was once utilized in California and all they used for cash had been cured hides off of livestock. The Mexican Ambassador marched out to his send, acquired on, and left, in no way to return again. Mexico at that factor made up our minds they had to arrangement themselves with some of the governments that they treated... and that was once the United States. YOU.. you insulting dolt, want miles, and miles, and miles of historical past earlier than they mean you can faux you understand what you're speakme approximately. In 1836, there was once just about NO communique among the Mexican Government and all of the places to the north aside from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Adios Senor.

Because:

it's never ethical or moral to pander to lawbreakers - if pandering to lawbreakers - for whatever reason - sends a wrong message to American youths and encourage lawbreaking in America.

the Catholic Church - after losing its followers due to their priests' dirty scandals - are trying to bring in the naive to replace their pool of followers, and possibly feel secured to commit its sinful behaviors again. Why is Roger Mahoney - the infamous priest who had condoned child-abuses by the priests under his mentorship - so determined to march and speak out for the lawbreaking illegal aliens?

So the huge majority of activists, speaking out for the illegal aliens, have strong Latino accents, or Latino names. Why don't a huge volume of other non-Latino accented activists or those with non-Latino names coming forth to speak out for the illegal aliens? Pretty fish, I've thought..
And listening to these accented activists with their warped reasonings as to why the illegal aliens ought be here would drive any decent American to realize their loyalty is not to America, but to their countries in S. America. America is not against legal immigrants who honor America's laws. America should be worried that the lawbreakers and their supporters have shadowy intentions and to change America into one of those sinking S. American nations where only crimes and corruption is a way of everyday life!

Why create a special specie put of illegal aliens as far as laws and regulations go? Legal immigrants and American citizens have to wait till they are adults to apply for family members to come to America. While they apply, their family members continue to live in their own countries and await approval. Why are the children of illegal aliens demanding the rights of their illegal parents to stay in America without going through proper channels of immigration application?

The American Govertment would be lacking credibility and integrity if they exhibit that lawbreaking is acceptable for whatever reasons. That would show their poor leadership in upholding America's laws!

They don't want to make a distinction between those of us that had ancestors that came LEGALLY and those that are currently breaking the law. If they did it would discount their argument.

What part of ILLEGAL is so hard to understand?

They're just trying to confuse the issue. By using the term 'all', they really are just showing their ignorance. My ancestors were colonists. They fought and won a war for independence.
