Gambling is illegal in most southern states as well unless it's run by the gov't. Do the same people who run around spotting "illegals" for the gov't think we ought to spot gamblers too? Do you agree that kind of thinking is monopolistic on the part of the state?
In several states Sodomy is illegal. Should somebody run around pointing out people they think are sodomizers? Both are illegal. What's the difference?

So according to Fred S. it's not so much about being illegal as it is he just don't like it. But a law's a law right?

Good point you have there and I agree with it. Of course you won't see this on the news or people talking about it everyday like illegal immigration.People don't like illegals and that's it, most don't even have a good reason! There's no difference, but watch your replies to this answer.For the people who think sodomy is different, well illegal is illegal which part of that don't you get?

If you don't know the difference between sodomy and an illegal alien, you better get a dictionary. The practice of sodomy really does no harm if both parties agree to it.
Illegal aliens are unlawfully present in a country. The do harm the existing work force by reducing wages. They compete with the existing work force for the available jobs.
Sodomites do not have a harmful effect on the existing work force or the environment.

People who feel strongly about the immorality of gambling are free to point out illegal gambling opperations, if they can find them. I don't think they'd exactly be doing thier community a diservice in doing so. Certainly, the proprietors of nearby legal establishments wouldn't mind. ;)
There's nothing monopolistic about a state regulating 'trade' within it's borders. It's a constitutional power of the states.
If someone wanted to keep an eye out for persons engaged in certain 'moral crimes' that are technically illegal on the state's books and report them, there's nothing wrong with that, either. Of course, they'd have to avoid tresspassing or invading the privacy of thier fellow citizens in the process, or they'd be locked up, themselves, long before they caught thier first 'criminal.'
No difference. Illegal is illegal and reporting crimes when you see them is just good civic responsibility.

eThe difference is we are a soverign nation and we are being invaded. When millions of people cross your border illegally,thats being invaded.
how can people invade a country illegally and take work away and use services and the citizens not feel angry ?
Every citizen should be worried or else we won't have a country any more.

When people are caught running illegal "casinos" they are punished to the full extent of the law.
