Is it against the law to harrass legal immigrants or anyone presumed to be illegal, but is not?

Only LOSERS harrass!

Harass in what way? Harassment isn't really legal for anyone.

I think harassment in general is frowned upon by the law.

Physical harm would be considered assault not harrassment.

Depending on what form of harassment...harassment is used pretty loosely... calling someone names, isn't illegal... threatening them with bodily harm is... mocking someone isn't illegal... chasing someone down the road to scare them is...but any form of harrassment is wrong

NOBODY has the right to harrass ANYONE

It's illegal and also nasty to harrass ANYONE for whatever reason. if you suspect they are illegals then report them to the correct authority and step out of it. You are not the police !

Yes it is....Its a violation of human rights.....During the Nixon administration, he made it a crime to hurt illegal immigrants coming into the US.....During his administration, on the border, many illegals coming into the country were getting harassed and physically attacked by locals patrolling the borders, laws were made to protect such immigrants from being physically harmed.....

Anti-illegals are out to get me

It is against the law to harass anyone.

Proud to be an AMERICAN

Harrasment is always illegal.

You should feel ashamed...How can you even consider harassing anyone, what are you, and animal?

Harassment may or may not be legal in your area, but you open yourself up to law suits no matter who you are harassing.

"Presumed" to be illegal? So what are you going to do, harass all of the brown people you see and hope that eventually you find an illegal one? I seriously wish I could be there to videotape when someone smacks you in the mouth.

Not one single person in my family is anything other than American, for generations, and yet I've been carrying a copy of my birth certificate with me for the past 5 years because of all the f*cking idiots like you who have decided to make of point of jumping in my face and asking me where I'm from. Apparently, I somehow am "different-looking". Everyone is always shocked when I tell them that I am from New Hampshire. If you refuse to grow up and get your facts straight, the rest of us Americans are perfectly within our legal rights to beat the crap out of you for "harassment".

Anyone in this country is afforded the same legal rights as anyone else by the constitution. So whatever your local harassment laws are - they apply to illegals as well. Even though I'd like to see them shipped outta here...

I don't know about that, but I'm always calling INS on them. Me and my friends got a whole family to move out of this apartment once. Was pretty satisfying

It's hard to tell that your an Illegal because you put blonde hair on your avatar.

Yes it is illegal to harass anyone - wether they be illegal or not.

You know the answer to this question. If by now you cannot understand how this country works you never will grasp it.Your question should read is it legal for smugglers to harrrass illegal aliens.

Adri

'YES"

go away

any form of harrassment is illigal, if you ask them to stop and leave you alone and they dont you can file harrassment, it doesnt have to be physical to be illigal, if you are harmed emotionally or if you feel threatened then just talk to the police, they will probably leave you alone with a warning from the police, but if it persists, file for harrassment

It isn't illegal to ASK.

"Harrass" is a legal term of art. No, it isn't ok to harrass.

Could be a civil violation technically. To do this to a legal, law abiding immigrant ...isn't the American way. Accidents do happen though.
Those accidents happen many times (recently) due to the inconsideration of those that come here illegally. Yet one more reason that illegal iimmigration is intolerable. One more reason illegal immigration denegrates America, it's system of higher values and those that wish to live in quiet peace and enjoyment.

Illegals go home and come here legally; through the correct process.

lady_hawk0072000

what do you mean "harass", employers are required to have SS numbers as well as 1 other document that you are legal. In some places these are required to rent an apartment or home. In these cases it is the law, so it depends on the situation.

world's greatest hero

yes it's illegal to harrass people, the white man is the one to blame for this
