Being poor isn't a crime....coming into our country illegally IS A CRIME!!!!!!
That Simple. |

Mostly because the needy have not broken the law. Illegal immigrants did that. No matter how sympathetic you might feel towards another human, once that human infringes on your rights or laws, you will definitely show your other side. |

"Need" is one thing, ignoring and breaking the law is another. |

I think you are off base. illegal immigrants get just as much compassion as the needy in New Orleans. |

What part of 'illegal' do you not understand? |
|

hmmmmm.
|
They broke LAWS!!!!!!.
Why should I feel any compassion's?
The Needy are LEGAL citizens that lost their job, and can not get any help from our government.
The needy isn't going around buring the American flag. |

Because they broke our laws to steal education from our children and health care from our poor and services from our needy.
Do you think that inspires compassion?
Frankly, we WERE compassionate. We gave amnesty to millions only to watch them become 'bases' to bring in more illegally. Hispanic organizations have estimated that 1/3 of all illegal immigrants here today are relatives of those legalized through amnesty. Their point is that we should give residence to family not here as well, but what I take from it is that once they didn't think coming illegally was a big deal, they thought bringing others illegally was just fine too.
Our schools are failing OUR children with programs cut to fund ESL programs that would be MUCH smaller if the parents of so many hadn't come illegally. What about compassion to OUR children and to OUR sick and poor?
Entitlement while breaking our laws does NOT inspire compassion. |

What the heck are you TALKING about. Have you heard of the millions of illegal children that have housing, schooling, medicine and food at the tax payers expense?
HAVE YOU HEARD OF THAT?
Have you heard of the thousands of churches that feed illegals?
The problem is that there is a TON of government money going to illegals.. and they are ILLEGAL.
get it.. the word illegal means.. illegal. They should be in jail where we will give them 3 squares a day as well.
GO HOME! |

Because they are illegal. That means they have broken the law. So, why should they deserve any sympathy? They don't have to be here if they don't like it. In fact, they are not entitled to be here. Get that, they should not be here. If they want compassion. let them go back to the paradises they have fled.
And to the person who thinks illegals actually pay taxes. Get real. They are paid cash for day work. It is not on the books, it is not by check, it is cash in hand, no taxes, no social security paid, but plenty claimed. |

Because the illegal immigrants aren't suppose to be here. They are showing compassion to the actual legal citizens. |

I like to help those who will help themselves. Breaking the laws of my land and standing with your hands out for help is pathetic. I say a 30' high fence should do. If they get over it without getting hurt, then it will be legal. If they fall and get hurt on U.S. soil then we send em back! I don't like some laws, but I am not going to break them and then ask you to buy me a car because I broke the law. |

How many people do you give compassion to that illegally sleep in your back yard? |

WHAT PART OF ILLEGAL IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?
Sorry but I have no sympathy for 20 to 30 million criminals (someone that is blatantly breaking our immigration laws). They don't belong here! We should be taking care of our citizens, not the poor of the whole world. |

what else do you want, a private jet, and a hot blonde wife |
|

Because there is too many of them!We need to start worrying about our own common good not some ILLEGALS! |
|

Because we don't like seeing things that the illegals do like burning or flag, or holding signs that say "All white people go back to Europe. You are on our continent illegally!!!" Remember the golden rule......... |

An excellent question!
I guess for me, if I saw Mexicanos dying in a fight to make their country a better place to live, fighting for justice and right, I would feel far more compassionate towards them.
At this point in time, they have it tough in their own country and would rather leave their country, steal into ours and create woes for us rather than fight for the law and order we all use as our basis. They ignore or simply do not understand law and order and it's importance.
Their country is trashed in many ways. Yet they are very proud of their country. They feel they can do no wrong. Illegals are out of touch ...and they are also, out of control here.
I am sympathetic but I see no reason to feel compassion to/for someone who steals from me ...but won't fight for his own rights in his/her own country in the so called needyness that Mexicanos for some reason can't overcome in Mexico.
All they do is bring their poverty of spirit and lust for money/opportunity to the USA and degrade our world in their simple ignorance. Yet they are proud and un-embarrasingly willing to take the well being of their neighbors to the North. All the while speaking in their own native tongue that they have come to reclaim the land that was once theirs.
These people don't need compassion as much as they need ...a wake up call. |

It looks like we are all thinking the same way.I, dont have compassion for illegal immegrants either, they are breaking our laws. in their country the first time you get caught its 5 years in jail, the second time they shoot you.forget the fence we need to do it there way,first time 5 years in jail the next time shoot them. |

These days (especially on Yahoo) I'm not seeing much compassion, period. |

Being poor isn't a crime but being here illegally is. Besides.....when people have shown compassion, whether it be by letting someone mow your yard (when you didn't NEED it) to donating things to help, to offering to help teach English etc....and then have them spit in your face calling you lazy, demanding more and treating you like a fool because you did care.....well...that kind of freezes the compassion. When you "understand" their lack of bathroom manners because they didn't have them where they came from...and then you find out the dude is whizzing in your front yard because they want you out of their neighborhood......sort of puts a halt to it. I could go on but people have had their own experiences as to whether they want to feel compassion anymore or not. I know they used mine up long ago. You get your hand bit enough times and then you don't bother anymore. I don't do anything to hurt them, but forget it if you expect compassion anymore. |

Think about what I am saying and it should give you an answer. When I was still in the working field. I used to tell my wife this saying. " I do not mind working for an SOB. It is the ones that pretend not to be an SOB that I can not stand." |

Because illegal immigrants aren't supposed to be here...hence that is why they are "illegal" immigrants. The needy are one's who can't get the things they need, for one reason or another, and need help. |

ummm a homeless person with a hand up can become another productive member of society. an illegal immigrent has broken a law to cheat the system. pretty easy comparison. |
