They do come here saying I want to break the law as soon as they make the consious choice to ILLEGALLY enter this country.

When they come here commit a crime, manage to find money to pay there $50,000 dollar bail, and then go back to there country.
I'm sure that can somehow be translated into "they looked for a job but couldn't find one" by a liberal.

The very fact that they knowingly arrive as 'i****************s' against the law answers your question.
Does a robber enter a bank with a gun thinking "I want to break the law"? or is it more like "I need money to feed my starving family and give me a better life"?
Answered By: mac1hull - 8/31/2007 |

No, they generally come here wanting a better life. But that's what made the Enron executives do what they did. Ditto for Mafia.
Do you think they shouldn't be punished?

Do you really think that a bank robber walks into a bank thinking I want to break the law? I think the bank robber is thinking about the cash and the law doesn't mean squat to him. The law doesn't mean squat to an illegal immigrant either.

I know that most i****************s have good intentions. Most of them aren't here to harm anyone. BUT, they are. They do the jobs that Americans could be doing for crumbs. Not every American goes to college and finds a 100k a year job. We need those jobs and we need them to pay a living wage. It's not the tomato pickers and nannies we need to defend ourselves from, it's the companies that hire them.

Someone who steals food from the grocery store or steals money from his employer because he doesn't have enough money and his kids are starving thinks a similar thing. He is just doing the only thing he can think of to feed his kids.
Is it still a crime? Yes.

Why should i have to accept that they were unwilling to go through the legal process of immigrating and instead chose to invade our nation and fail to assimilate by refusing to learn English while demanding that i pay taxes to support their breeding, healthcare and education for their children!

They come here because they know they will get hired. That's why I say 100?f the blame is the employers. If they did'nt hire illegals then they would'nt come here, would they? I think not.
Maybe if we ended welfare than more Americans would do these jobs hmmmmmmm?? Makes you think don't it?

I don't think they give it much thought at all. All the major cities in South America are notorious for ignoring laws. Have you ever driven on Avenida Rivadavia in Buenos Aires? There are four, clearly painted lanes in each direction but you can't see them because there are eight lanes of car in each. In Mexico City, if you are stopped at a red light and there is no traffic coming in the cross direction, the car behind you will be honking. They do this in Miami too. We need to protect ourselves from the risk to National Security that infiltrators pose through the open gap we have in all our borders. After all, if 9-11 proved anything it was that we, are not protected.

True, a lot of the illegals don't just come here to break the law, However that is exactly what they are doing. I can't blame anyone for wanting a better life for them and their family, HOWEVER...They must do it the legal way. And there is a legal way, They just chose not to wait for the "legal way" to happen. The hard facts are that while many do pick "tomatoes" and are "nannies" and so on...There are a great deal that break the law. The first law and the law that every illegal breaks from the start is coming into the country illegal. There is a reason that the "legal" way takes so long is because we need controls on how many people enter the USA. If we allowed as many people in as they wanted then our population would be like China. We need to enforce our immigration laws. Other countries enforce theirs and that is why they have more order and less assistance programs.

I think illegal aliens come here thinking "I have to sneak in because I am breaking the law and I don't care, because I am better than everyone else and I don't have to obey any laws".
I think 12 million illegal aliens on the loose in the USA, breaking not one, but lots and lots of laws is a d**n big fish, and you know what they say...... "guests" are like fish, after three days they start to stink.
12 million fish is a pretty big stink.

They aren't thinking at all, that's the problem. What if I broke into your house with the mentality that I just want to get out of the rain, would you go for it or have me arrested for breaking and entering? Keep in mind that I only want to stay dry. FYI, there is a legal way for them to come to this country, it's called apply for a Visa and have some sort of employable skill a US Citizen does not have. Yes, we do need to defend ourselves from i****************s, they cause a shadow economy that defeats and competes with our own legitimate economy and that shadow economy contributes to criminal activities such as producing forged documents, stolen identities, and fake social security cards. This is a pretty big fish to fry on the domestic front.

I don't think they come here meaning to break the law, but they know it is illegal, therefor they know they are breaking the law. i****************s work under the table, therefor they do not pay taxes like the majority of us Americans. They are cheaper to hire, (some employers will even take advantage of them, skimping on their paychecks, or not even giving them one) so an employer will often hire one over an American. They do get free health care in a way, because hospitals cannot turn them away and they will go there for the most simplist things such as colds and waste American taxpayer's money. Illegal immigration is no small fish. There are over 12 million of them in The US so that adds up to alot of money for the US to pay all in all.
PS. I don't believe that i****************s who have a baby on US soil, should be able to have that child become a US citizen. They are breaking the law in coming here, so I think that child should be illegal too.

Bank robbers don't think "I want to break the law" they think. "I have a gun and no talent, where can I get a lot of money quickly..."
Few people break the law for the sake of breaking the law - those that do are often motivated by some sort of political protest against the government or the law in question, itself - most simply disregard the law, putting thier own needs and desires above the requirements of a civilized society.

No they come here having nothing but their hands and back and their will to give their families a better life. The US has one thing that most other countries do not, opportunity. Most of them work until they drop and then go to what little bit of a home they have everyday. They don't have time to stir up trouble. The only trouble they are in, this country's own citizens start!
True they broke the law by coming here illegally, but let me ask you something. Do you drive the speed limit ever time you get behind the wheel? Leave the hard working people alone because their the ones that scrap up your car off the freeway.

Yes I think so too. I think that the anger at illegals and the talk about what to do them comes from the fact that they are a poor and powerless group that are often clearly different. That is a prescription for persecution and scapegoating.
Many of the Americans who have such strong hatred of illegals are Also powerless. They don't have any influence in the things affecting their lives and that is scaring them in this unstable economy. Most often they don't really understand how the world situation affects their lives.
So they take it out on illegals who can't fight back and who are convienent.

They cross the border, knowing fully well they are breaking the law. They know they are breaking the law when they take jobs under the table, or use false documentation or commit any other crime. So yes, they come knowing they are will break laws, intent on doing so.
There is a legal way to come here, but those who do not qualify have no right to enter illegally. Period.
