Why should illegal immigrants,that are living a good life, should be deported?

Question

Many illegal imigrant come from other countries to persue a good living and others just want to work so their kids would have a good livin.Why should the government stop that???

Answer 1

Ok, so what part of "ILLEGAL" in ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT did you not understand.

ILLEGAL = law breaker
ILLEGAL = Criminal
ILLEGAL = No right to be here

So I really dont care what kind of life they are living, they are a burden to the country and that burden should be eliminated.
the better life they life the more it costs tax payers. You do realize that they pay no inocme tax, they have no rights, can't vote, and the government pays for everything for them.

Answer 2

Because you're breaking the law of the land. It's really that simple.

Every parents wants to provide for their child, but does it come with the cost of breaking the rules and then demanding (not even asking) to stay? I realize there are sometimes extenuating reasons (i.e. child is sick needing medical attention in the US), but that's not usually what forces illegal immigration etc.

I'm an immigrant and I abided by the law and obtained my permanent residency.

If a person enters the country illegally and puts his/her family at risk of removal/deportation then it's a risk that they take. Every illegal knows this - I've met many and heard heart-breaking stories but the heart of the matter is that we are immigrants to this country. It's a curtesy EXTENDED to us and the US has one of the more liberal policies toward immigration (believe it or not).

Try immigration to South East Asia or parts of Europe - you'll be surprised at how unwelcomed you'll feel.

Bear in mind that being here is not an AUTOMATIC right. There's laws to follow (just like any other country).

Answer 3

Yes some are doing very well, being upstanding members of our community. With that said, If they want to be here they need to put out the effort to become legalized. My grandmother came from Germany in the thirties, she came in on a ship and went through Ellis Island. She learned English and took the test and was granted citizenship. It was not easy for her. When someone asked her her nationality she proudly said American. Which she had earned. If immigrants want to be live in American they should become Americans and learn the American language. I am sad for the children of the people that come here illegally, they are being used as pawns by their families to acquire services from the American Government. The Mexican government would never give an American services that they were not in titled to.

Answer 4

Why should someone be prosecuted for murder 10 years after the fact. They only had a wife trying to take everything in a divorce and the killer has led a good life since?

I guess lying to a Federal Grand Jury isn't really lying if it is about sex.

Just one question. Do you believe in the law or not???

The Government should stop it because it is unlawful. They take from citizen's things that are not rightfully theirs. My neighbor had to close a lawn service business and fire 10 people because he was legal and he was competing against those who weren't. It cost him more in taxes and insurance than the illegals were charging for lawn service.

That makes 11 Americans out of work but your buddies are doing fine... When America is the same as Mexico I bet you will be screaming for someone to do something so you can get a job. I hope I am there to laugh at you and your starving family.

Answer 5

The government has laws that are to be followed when immigrating. An illegal chose not to do that. Their "good life" is at the expense of others. Still with me? They chose to be illegal, they chose to put themselves in that position. Poor choice. That is why they will be deported. Nothing in life is free and that means for illegals as well. Laws don't bend around individual wills, regardless of how many millions think it just might for them. No.

Answer 6

As a teacher, I completely agree with DAR. The schools in Calif are full of the children of illegal aliens, mostly Hispanic, and these families may be "good people" as are the children, but the schools are suffering in a terrible way with budget cuts and lack of money. Illegal parents are not paying any income taxes, so they are not financially supporting the schools their children attend at all. Did you know that virtually every child of illegals gets a free breakfast and free lunch at school? Who do you think pays for that? US, the taxpayers. It's very frustrating to see your paycheck cut in half because of huge amounts of taxes, knowing that so much of that money is going to support illegal aliens with free programs like welfare, free health care for them, and daycare (school, because that's how most of the illegal Hispanics view school. I hate to say it, but I have learned from working at various Hispanic schools that it's not a culture that values education).

We don't have the money to educate the millions of illegals, especially since most of them have very large numbers of children. While most of these kids are very sweet people, I still feel that their parents need to stay in their own country and wait their turn until they can come to the U.S. legally.

We just can't absorb them all in such huge numbers so America is becoming just like the 3rd world countries they (illegals) came from in many places.

Answer 7

Of course they should be deported. They came here illegally. Why should they have a better life than someone who is actually living here legally. I don't mind the fact that they just want a better life for themselves and their children, but why can't they just save up money and come here legally. How hard could that be?

Answer 8

Governments should stop the influx of illegal immigrants not because they want them to have bad lives, but because immigrants need to go through appropriate legal channels to immigrate rather than enter the country illegally.

Answer 9

They are breaking our laws and they're lucky that Bush isn't taking them coming over here an act of invasion and going to War w/ them too. And the reason they're here is to work and make a lot of money and then one day go back to Mexico and live as a millionare. And they have so many kids so that they can draw welfare to make even more money.

Answer 10

Because they are just as Illegal as the poor illegal or the blatant abuser illegal. Illegal is illegal no matter where you came from or how well to do you are.
