Answer 1

Illegal supporters believe that the law is wrong. I'm sure there is a law you disagree with, may have even broken it (smoking on the street, not mowing your lawn, speeding), does that make it OK to break the law?

Answer 2

did u get a medal cause only u believe the crock u spin, besides no one feels that laws should be broken legal or not.

Besides all the people that say they would never break the law are full of it at one point or another somewhere in time someone from their bloodline came here illegaly but since they have been here some time they feel thay have more rights than anyone. I wonder what the native indians feel about this

Answer 3

I think supporters of illegal immigrants look at it two ways:
1. They don't view it as an illegal immigrant issue, but as a racist issue. A lot of times supporters will only talk about Mexicans, but the fact is there are other illegals from European countries as well.

2. Illegals DO perform a lot of work that legal Americans do not. It boils down to business and economics. Illegals pay in to social security, but do not withdraw. Illegals get paid lower wages to pick fruit, construction, and other jobs that Americans would not do for the same amount of money.

It is very good that you have never broken the law (which I doubt, everyone has at some point), but many times laws are only enforced when politically necessary.

Answer 4

I imagine most would scream about any citizen or legal immigrant who broke a law, as that seems to be a 'defense' of illegal aliens they frequently mount.
I say that any illegal alien could not commit a crime here if they weren't here. Their supporters seem to believe that no illegal alien commits crime past crossing the border. Per capita, many nationalities of illegal aliens have much higher rates of incarceration for felonies than American citizens. The citizen rate is less than 3.5%. For Mexican illegal aliens, the percentage rate is estimated at just under 7%. Approximately 17% of inmates at federal prisons are illegal aliens. Yet, they account for less than 10% of the population at the highest estimates of total illegal aliens.

"The U.S. Justice Department estimated that 270,000 illegal immigrants served jail time nationally in 2003. Of those, 108,000 were in California. Some estimates show illegals now make up half of California's prison population, creating a massive criminal subculture that strains state budgets and creates a nightmare for local police forces."

Answer 5

I've never even had a speeding ticket, I just don't believe that any person who has to break the law to sneak into a country that doesn't want them cares about anything but themselves. There are many who believe it's ok to steal for your family, I say why have a family if you have to steal to feed them, again totally selfish. Most of the common sense reasoning seems to be lost on so many.

Answer 6

Its not OK, but wait till they still their identity and run up debt...I bet they will have a change of heart...its just a matter of time. IT has happend to me...someone stole my SS worked, and ran up debt, I'm still dealing with that after 5 years.
I too have been poor, worked 2 jobs, no food stamps, raising 2 children on my own, have I ever broke the law...Hell no and I went hungry too.

Answer 7

They don't care about the law. If something fits their purposes, do it! It's almost like the old term, "if it feels good - do it."

I hate it when these people ask us, wouldn't you come here illegally to give you family a "better life?" Well, NO! I don't break the law!

Answer 8

If the law is wrong, sometimes it is ok to break it. Like the people who helped blacks escape from slavery in the 1800s. And the protests during the civil rights movement. The question is whether or not our immigration laws are right.

Answer 9

people who married interracially were breaking the law, people who had fellatio with their spouse in forbidden ways broke the law, people who helped slaves escape broke the law. Some laws are injust.
Now, we talk about the law, have you ever driven faster than the speed limit? Don't say no, because I will know you are a liar. If you have you violated a law on the same level as violation of immigration civil law. If a person immigrates without proper documentation they are committing a civil offense on par with speeding or jaywalking.

Answer 10

Yes,they seem to. Although they are firm against a citizen breaking the law,they have no problem with the illegal invaders doing so.
I also grew up poor and never broke the law. Poverty is no excuse.
