Here's a very simple question. WHY would anyone support illegal aliens having the right to stay and work here?

Question

My grandfather and grandmother came here as a young couple through Ellis Island, as did many of yours, I'm sure. My grandfather worked his "you know what" off to move to the USA with his wife to start a new life here. For that, I am proud.
I am also proud we have the label as the world's melting pot. I see so many families immigrating to our country every year to start a new life for their family and family's descendants.
BUT, I am disappointed to see, especially at this volatile time of war, illegal aliens coming here. They work here without the government's knowledge, don't pay income taxes, and often send all the money back to their country. For all we know, any nameless worker could easily turn out to be a terrorist.
Now I ask you, WHY would anyone support these people to come here and do this?
And for the record, every single advanced country has some sort of borders policy. Whether or not it is enforced efficiently is the only question.

Answer 1

Easy answer: they are members of MS-13 and do all their personal correspondence in Krylon.

Answer 2

Ha Ha. We all know it will only get worse if they continue to do nothing. It's really sad a school on the boarder had to put up a fence to protect the kids from them coming onto school grounds. There is no way in HELL I would let my kids go to a school that had to have a 7' fence around it for safety purposes. And for the people who think they should be here then take down the fence and in roll your child there. Then tell the rest of the country how you believe there is nothing wrong with illegal immigrants.

Answer 3

The point to all this is simple: illegal aliens work for less pay and harsher working conditions than our own citizens. The usual trick of employers along the border is to hire an illegal alien for cheap, hard labor; then a day or two before thier first payday, they will call in the border patrol and turn them all in, thus they have managed to get two or three weeks of free labor. Then they simply hire another group and do the same thing to them. The other thing is that the employers don't have to take out taxes or offer any benefits whatsoever for such employees, thus saving even more money and time and bookeeping.

And, for all I know, they may even have a kickback deal with the border patrol, receiving a portion of a bounty for each illegal they turn in. I've seen this in Southern California, where more than one business will agree to turn in each other's illegals at a predesignated time, so the word doesn't get out, discouraging further illegals applying for jobs at their place. It's called 'plausible deniability' in some circles. Here it's just considered a 'business strategy'.

When in doubt, check out the 'bottom line'. If there is a dollar sign and a large number after it, you've probably found the motivation.

Answer 4

Because they keep America's economy balanced and so you can pretty much afford whatever you want. Get on the Internet and instead of looking for every negative thing about illegal immigrants look for the good.
-They do pay taxes, believe it! Buy houses, cars, own businesses, go to collage. How is that not a good thing for the country and the economy?!
-The MILLIONS of dollars that are deducted from undocumented workers who do not claim taxes go straight to Social Security so it can stay alive, and so that your grandparents can retire safely.
-To say that they might be terrorist, come on get real. They're good people, most of them. But that all everyone legal or not.
That's why America needs illegal immigration. I just hope that those honest, hard working people can some day live in this country, that they have helped made a better place to live, without the fear of being hunted down by ignorant people who don't understand the necessity for this country.

Answer 5

What part of ILLEGAL are you pro-immigration people not understanding???

All of your arguments are moot points. These people are here ILLEGALLY and should not be rewarded for crossing the border and jumping the immigration line in front of immigrants who are trying to do it legally. If the US finds the price of tomatoes sky-rocketing (it would only mean less Ag profits, not higher tomato prices though really), or that there's a huge deficit of workers in some area (after we tap our own unemployed), then they should implement a guest worker program.
NO ONE has done a study on the impact of proposed immigration and amnesty and its affects on our environment, natural resources, urban congestion, school systems, etc.

For you bleeding hearts, why don't we just take on the rest of the third world and sink the whole lifeboat (ourselves included) while you're at it? This isn't about compassion, and if it is, you should be over in Africa personally breast-feeding infants.

Answer 6

The United States is the only country on this planet where foreign nationals enjoy more rights that the legal citizens. The current regime in Washington refuses and fails to enforce the Immigration statutes re illegal aliens. When a government does not represent the people (the subjects), there are remedies available for the people to act. The DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE provides specific instructions and guidance for the crisis we the people now endure. Neither political party now controlling the U.S. populace, represents the common everyday citizen. It is a government of big money controlled by corporate criminals who pull the strings of the puppet politicians. There is only one honest candidate running for president today, and he is Ron Paul, who will not have a chance because he is not a pawn of the big money group. If one enters the U.S.A. illegally, they have violated federal law and should be prosecuted. Those who are sufficiently naive or stupid to support illegal acts are an enemy and threat to the national security of this republic. In 2006, Mexican illegal aliens sent over $ 60,000,000,000.00 (sixty billion) to their home country of Mexico. None of this illegally gained money was taxed and there were no deductions for social security. If this assault is allowed to continue, the U.S.A. will be decimated and cease to exist as the great country we once enjoyed. Wake up,Citizens!

Answer 7

Because it is the compassionate thing to do my friend. I understand your grandparents journey, but if they had been just accross the border, your grandparents would've done the same thing as mexicans do if they had no choice. No one wants to leave their own country, it is out of need, hunger.

It is a lousy thing to do to say terrorits are among illegals. Terrorists come here on visas, and never have to work, they mostly have the money to hang around among you, blend in.

I mean the Bin Laden's live in Bervery Hills lol how hipocritical is that.

Answer 8

Because people like r1b1c* and sack your boss have no clue. They keep saying things like "undocumented workers pay taxes" Hey, they are undocumented, that means they do not have a SSN, how can they pay taxes? They don't contribute to the system at all. Sure they do jobs cheap, but that is the root of the problem - they suppress wages.

Then there is the stupid statement about no one having rights to the land except Indians. If you want to be technical, the American Indians are immigrants too, so I guess no one has any right to the land according to your theory. So how about we take your house and car and give it to the ILLEGAL immigrants. The bottom line is whether we like it or not, this country was built by mostly western Europeans. And yes immigrants helped, but they were LEGAL immigrants.

One other point, we already have a guest worker program that allows people to LEGALLY work in this country, so we don't need ILLEGAL immigrants to take jobs away from them or us, nor do we need them to continue to suppress wages like they do.

SACK YOUR BOSS - why am I supposed to feel guilty because I have made a good life for myself and want to enjoy it? You sound like one of those spaced out '60's protesters w/ all you "bourgeois capitalist" propaganda. You are one of those people who demonize America no matter what good they do. According to you it's all our fault Mexico is in the shape it's in. The fact that their own government is terribly corrupt and oppressive and does not care at all about their own citizens welfare has nothing to do w/ it I suppose. And then when you can't think of anything else to say you cry "racist". People like you will run this country in to the ground and then blame it on someone else.

I have a little tidbit of info for you, I have many friends and co-workers who are of Mexican descent and THEY don't want the ILLEGALS coming here either.

Answer 9

There is no reason to aid illegal aliens in staying here. There are legal ways to enter the country, and thousands use the legal means all the time. Certain industries, like the lumber compqanies that need a lot of workers to cut down , clear, and plant trees, are allowed to hire legal, undocumented foreign workers. They are migrant workers, traveling from state to state, unprotected by child labor laws and often injured and told not to seek care that they are entitled to as legal workers.
There are also many industries that use illegal aliens because it is cheaper for them to do so, even if they are caught and the company is fined.
The problem of illegal immigration is that the laws against it are not being emforced.
