How can people say that all illegal immigrants are criminals?

Question

This is a very narrow-minded view. If that's the case then even children who are here illegally who didn't even come voluntarily must be criminals!

Answer 1

Well, IT IS NARROW - MINDED.

But don't blame those that say that. They cannot go farther.

They are programed that way

Criminal is a very big word for people who, most of them ( I am not talking about the gangsters like Marasalvatrucha and similar, or the drug dealers. Those are an entirely different species ) , only want to live better and a better future for their children.

Besides, when the British colonists came here, I seriously doubt that any of them had visas from the Native American authorities.

Those were real criminals, according to the damage they did to Nature and to the Native Americans, but nobody bad mouths them. I wonder why

Answer 2

Illegal immigrants are breaking the law and they are responsible for their children. It's one thing to break the law, but to receive social services is wrong. I realize our government should have stopped it all when they had the chance. Americans are spending billions of dollars for illegals, but we don't get anything free and we are citizens. You have to admit there is something with that picture. I have hope that the illegals go back to Mexico and make a difference there, now that they have knowledge have the ability to work the system in a democratic society.

Answer 3

According to the dictionary, a person who violates the law is a delinquent, an offender. A criminal is somebody who killed somebody.

Besides, according to the definition given by some experts here, in the XIX century, those who liberated slaves from their masters and took them to the North, would be violating the law as well.

I assume that you would support that the slaves stayed with their masters ?

Answer 4

We're losing our sense of outrage over having 10 to 15 million illegal aliens basically invading our country. We're being desensitized to the fact that illegal immigration is illegal – it's a crime, remember? People who, for whatever reasons, don't want our immigration laws to be enforced, use the word "undocumented" instead of illegal. And – this is critical – the news media complete the sales job by picking up the label and using it on us day in and day out.


Secure the borders in such a way that no one can enter illegally and the "child issue" will disappear.

Answer 5

Its stupid everyone thinks they can just blame every bad thing on illegal immigrants just because they are illegal. Not all of them are bad, they just have one bad thing on their shoulders and that's: they came here illegally.

Answer 6

Bills are being proposed right now that would prevent children born here to illegals from becoming citizens.

We have the right to protect our borders and choose who we let in. Entering without permission is a violation of US federal law. It is time we enforced this to the maximum. No exceptions.

So I will say it..."All Illegals Are Criminals".

Answer 7

Guilty by association. That is the answer in it's most simple form.

Answer 8

What part of illegal and being a criminal do you not understand? by nature if you commit an illegal act you are a criminal......if you drag your kid into the act they go to a ward of the court. since they are aliens then they get to go back with there parent to there own backyard and play.

Answer 9

What part of illegal is legal? They are called illegal because they broke the laws of this country to get here. As there is a legal way to make money and a illegal way. one is a crime and one is not! Daaaaaaaaaaa

Answer 10

Federal law defines illegally entering the United States as a "Crime" punishable by 6 months in jail first offense and as a felony for 2 or more offenses.
