If we ENFORCE the current LAWS, wouldn't that not be good?

Question

So you guys say the US has to enforce the laws it has.

I don't think they will enforce them.

But if they do, and millions and millions of "illegals" lose their jobs, how would they have money to go back home, they won't. These poor mothers who work to feed their children will be left homeless and dead. And their children will probably die of hunger since there will be probably millions with parents who were fired for being "illegal."

I know some of you anti's will say "well illegal is illegal, they shouldn't have been here in the first place, they could have still been alive back in their contries." But that's not the point.

Wouldn't that not be good if we risk the lives of these immirgants by unemploying all of them if the laws are enforced?

What do you guys think? (remeber, think before you TYPE)

Answer 1

I thinks it's true because you never know what could happen if all the laws were enforced, it wouldn't be good.

Answer 2

"But if they do, and millions and millions of "illegals" lose their jobs, how would they have money to go back home, they won't"
ICE doesnt take people to the border and say, "start walking". you dont need money to leave. they will drive, or fly you home.

"These poor mothers who work to feed their children will be left homeless and dead."
you forgot "Americans are baby burners ".

"And their children will probably die of hunger since there will be probably millions with parents who were fired for being "illegal.""
and this is my fault? if i mugged you, you shot me, now my child starves to death, would that be your fault ?
why did you put "illegal" in quotation marks ?

"I know some of you anti's will say "well illegal is illegal, they shouldn't have been here in the first place, they could have still been alive back in their contries." But that's not the point."
and the point is ?

"Wouldn't that not be good if we risk the lives of these immirgants by unemploying all of them if the laws are enforced?"
think of all the criminals put out of work every day by the police when they arrest them. should we stop arresting all criminals ?

"What do you guys think? (remeber, think before you TYPE)"
couldnt agree more.

Answer 3

Illegal does not equal immoral. Most immigrants are coming to America to escape living conditions unkown to most Americans who have never left the country.

Obviously we cannot have entirely open borders, especially with threats of terrorism, but I think we, as Americans, have a moral duty to help those that seek to better their lives.

I only have citizenship because I was born here - I have much more respect for those who flee their home countries and put everything on the line for a better future.

To answer the question - laws should never be followed blindly. There must be a good reason for enforcement of our immigration laws, and it would be wrong not to consider the practical realities of this world - specifically, that most of world's people live in poverty and violence. If our country can absorb more people who do the work that most natives wouldn't even consider, why in the world would we spend time and money deporting them just to satisfy an imperfect law?

In response to "GodBlessAmerica:"

How can you call yourself a conservative and argue that it is the job of the government to provide jobs for its people? Read the Declaration of Independence. It is the same type of tyranny against which our forefathers fought that drives people to immigrate to America today. "Taxation without representation" is nothing compared to the corruption that mars Mexican politics. Instead of criminalizing those who seek admission, make it easier for them to gain citizenship so that they have a stake in America!

To "Jeff:" When was the last time you went looking for a menial job? Besides, if they can do the job better and cheaper...

Answer 4

So far they have been unable to enforce existing laws successfully because there are too many illegal immigrants. The bill was an attempt at a "divide and conquer" strategy, where some would have been allowed to come forward and pay the fees and do the paperwork to become legal, while others would have been deported. Since no decision was made, the problem still remains until they think of something better.

Answer 5

If I was an illegal, and the laws were being enforced, meaning I was out of work and had to feed my family, I think I would have better chances of survival in the place I came from.

Answer 6

I'm a veteran who served honorably in the US Army - I've been to other countries where many of their citizens dream of coming to the USA - But never do because they want to do it the right way!

I'm all for equal opportunity, but if I break the laws here - I go to jail! So, why should you give amnesty to those who came here illegally! They did in fact break the law! I say send them back, but with the information needed to apply and return legally if they want! And that is the point! You allow them amnesty, then when I get stopped for speeding - I want amnesty! Will it happen? Dont think so! Deportation comes with the taxpayers absorbing the costs, so they don't just get thrown to the wolves!!!!

I don't think children born in our country to illegal immigrants should be granted citizenship either! How may illegals get tax returns each year that never pay a dime in taxes??? I could go on, but for now I'll leave it at this!

Answer 7

You just had an epiphany my friend.

Why do you think we are so opposed to the Immigration Reform Bill?

Because WE did not believe the government would enforce the new laws either.

Eventually, something will be worked out that will be fair to everyone, but this bill did not cut the mustard. No need to be too greatly upset.

Answer 8

"millions and millions of "illegals" lose their jobs, how would they have money to go back home" They get a free ride back home. This point is false.

"These poor mothers who work to feed their children will be left homeless and dead." They get a free ride back home. This point is false.

"But that's not the point" Ok what is your point?

"(remember, think before you TYPE)" Perhaps you should take your own advise?

Answer 10

Dah what part of the amnesty bill failed you don't understand.So the criminal illegal aliens have a choice stay till they are caught or leave on there own.No jobs no pay no stay. It will that a while but deporting will happened.Did they have jobs before they took them from USA citizens no. They made a choice to break our laws,steal fraud IDS &SS# thieft,health care fraud, and demanded amnesty.Well We the people have spoken, if you bleading hearts want to support them than leave with them to there country of wherever.We are going to see they enforce out laws & close the borders.
Get the picture.
