If you knew an illegal immigrant personally, would you turn one in?
|
I have met a man at my work who trusts me, and I have found out the following:
He has changed names several times to evade authorities.
He has attempted to buy guns.
He has helped other immigrants cross borders, ours and other countries.
I know that many immigrants work extremely hard when they enter our country and are a support to our economy rather than a drain, and I am not disparaging them.
But would you turn this man in? He is extremely paranoid, and when I took a picture of his car with the license plate, he became angry and made me erase it. Additional Details I am asking because it seems so many of us work with or know personally these immigrants...and yet here they are. So I am wondering when many of you say in a heartbeat, do you really mean it?

I most certainly would call it in.... in case your need the number: TO REPORT AN ILLEGAL ALIEN OR CRIMINAL ALIEN RESIDENT contact the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division of the Department of Homeland Security by calling (866) DHS-2ICE to "report suspicious activity" (866) 347-2423. |

I've reported dozens, gave their names, addresses, where they were illegally working etc. Immigration never does anything. They're all still here. |

I would turn any illegal immigrant in. They don't need to be over here at ALL. But if we go over to Mexico illegally, we get thrown into jail and etc.
This is another reason why our economy is failing, is because we are paying for them to steal WIC, and stuff from us. |

I wouldn't turn him/her in right away. I'd get to know them, and all their illegal friends, that way we get a big batch of them, not just one. |

/Support our economy? Each legal immigrant and illegal alien cost Us taxpayers $9,000.00 each year.
$80 billion is wired out of the US every single year. You think if that money stayed in the US and was spent here it wouldn't help our economy? And that sending it out doesn't hurt our economy?
There are currently 4-5 million anchor babies living in the US. Each child is eligible for welfare, WIC, free breakfast & lunch,, housing assistance, health care. A person must have an income of over $50,000 to have a tax liability (pay taxes, but not collect a refund) you believe these children's parents have a tax liability? NO, they don't or the children would not be eligible for benefits. $11-22 billion a year is spent in welfare to these children.
Still believe these illegals are a benefit to our economy?
And for the reasons above as well as several others, any illegal needs to be turned in. Nothing may be done, but it at least lets the government know that the American people do not support having illegal aliens living in the US at our expense. |

Well sounds like something is up with that guy. I suggest calling the cops or something, not because he is undocumented, but because he sounds kind of dangerous with the whole guns, changing names, and paranoid.
Yeah just call the cops or try to get away from him. |

Though as one answerer stated immigration may do nothing if you report him, I would still do it for my conscience sake...And I would also report him to local police especially if I knew he was attempting to buy guns...And also report him to your top boss on the job, chances are this "fish" holds his job with fake SS card number. |

WARNING !
The Senate has just signed a bill for all illegal aliens to be able to access our Social Security system.They need not be a citizen ,as a pre- requisite, to receiving benefits, that they have not contributed one single penny. This is not a Republican or Democrat think,both are giving it away for the vote. PLEASE call or white to your Representative now. |

answer?
 |
uh yes i would turn him in after i got the names of all the other people he helped get into the u.s. the democrats give all these illegal immigrants all these rights that they shouldnt have because they are......ILLEGAL just think about all the money the u.s. wastes on free health care for illegals they are killing our economy. |

It is highly unlikely that I would know one personally - but if I did I would!
They don't work hard - they work cheap - there is a huge difference. |

It all in the Time-ing. Meany of the Ukrane wight's are under the luttenburg act.. Ajustment act... wich state if thay set foot in the united state's legaly and or illegaly the allowed a exit vesia from Russia.
It used for The DP's Desplacest Person's of Chernobyl. So even turnning a Legal aillen in is nogarintee of deportasion. |

I personally know some and If they are here just working trying to take care of their families no I wouldent. But Im soo against all these wanna be gansters, tagging up peoples homes. This guy sounds like hes done something bad, hes afraid of something. I would turn him in, you cant really trust people like that. |

we are all going to the same heaven or hell, there is no such thing as an official american heaven, your social security number will not be valid at the time you are been judged by god. when you get to that point you will be right in front of your brother, the one you call illegal and you will have to explain why did you acted like a JUDAS. |

Hypothetically, if I knew one or two then I don't think I would turn either in but I can't be sure what I would do since them being here would be against the law. Of course, I am not online screaming about the "free services" they are receiving since both of the ones I might know would do manual labor jobs and more or less just hide out otherwise. I doubt that I would have ever seen them use any service provided by the US taxpayers because I'm sure most of them are too worried about being caught and deported.
There was somebody on the board last night screaming about how illegals get this and that but then said he knew all of these facts because he had a friend that was illegal. So if you are knowingly allowing him to stay in the country then perhaps you should quit complaining about your tax dollars and turn them in according to the law.
BTW, I live in Texas so I suspect that if I ever knew anyone they would be from Mexico and hopefully not in the drug business because if they were running drugs I would certainly not bat an eye at turning them in.
EDIT: Another BTW, I would definitely turn the man you refer to in to ICE. I guess I should learn to read past the original question. |

I do know several and they are hard working people with families to support, so no I don't. If I knew one that was a gansta criminal freeloader, I would inform ICE.
The guns thing is kinda worrisome with this guy, but the other things are normal for illegals. So long as they are good people, let them be. |
