Please note I am referring to ILLEGAL immigration, not immigration in a regulated and law-abiding fashion.

Of course it is. It's not only an act of disrespect, but one of contempt. If you have actually seen one of their "protests" you are already aware that they are completely contemptuous of the United States. They don't want to be a part of it. They simply want to get as much as they can from it. They don't consider themselves Americans in any sense of the word.

Yes, it is disrespectful and illegal in most countries, not just the US.
It has only been tolerated because people did not know how many illegal immigrants were moving here until the politicians tried to slip another amnesty bill past the country.
The internet and cable news analysts make it nearly impossible for anyone in government to slip anything by now.

They certainly show disrespect for it's laws.
Immigrants who embrace the culture of thier adopted homeland and assimilate show respect for that nation, even if they the immigrate illegally. Conversely, immigrants who congregate in enclaves of thier own kind and refuse to assimilate are showing a basic disrespect for the land in which they live - even if they did enter the country legally. (Of course, in some cases, as with the Vietnamese refugees who came here after the war, that tacit disrespect may be justified.)
A nation is it's culture, so disrespect or respect for the culture shows the same for the nation. Disrespect for the law shouldn't be ignored, but it's not identical with disrespect for the country.

I would say yes, but if the host country is turning a cheek to illegal immigration so it can financially and politically gain from it then no.

yes. this is to one of the posters. if they are having a hard time (poverty) in they're country why do they have kids? i just find that hard to understand why people who live in poverty have kids knowing they will starve. it makes no sense. where is children's services at while all this baby making is going on? only selfish pathetic people would have a child/ren in such horrid conditions.

Yes, If you will not obey the host country's law then why do they go there in the first place?

Of course it is. Ask La Raza. Ask the illegals that steal services from the government and then wave their Mexican flags on amnesty marches!

It is like someone breaking into your house. Would you welcome a burglar after he broken into your residence and stole your property in the form of property taxes, school taxes, and carries no car insurance?

I guess it's no more disprespectful than invading a sovereign nation, killing and raping it's people, executing it's president (however sleazy he may have been), and blaming them for 9/11.
