Is it safe to allow a group of people dictate who should be in the US based on a political assumption?

Dallas

No. and they are the same people that would never go out and do the jobs illegals do. It's dangerous, unconstitutional, racists, and counterproductive.

Mitzieee

So this is what it has really come down to? How sad!

Apollo

Based on "race" no. Keeping the population in check and enforcing the law are however legitimate demands from people.

Iamme

70% of US citizens think the lmmigration laws should be enforced.
Government for the people (as in people who are citizens of the US) is about to be reinstated lead by the good people of Arizonia. May 49 other states join them!

Once again you are misinformed. The whole immigration crackdown began because Americans were sick and tired of seeing all the damages that illegals are causing in the US. The US is a melting pot and we have immigrants from all over the world. Only reasonable that Whites would be the minority one day. The issue you are overlooking is that most immigrants come here legally; unlike illegals who just break the law for their own selfish needs!

So you are saying illegals aren't trying to dictate to Americans???

MikeGolf

You get further from reality with every question.

Welcome to America, now go home

It's much safer than say not rounding up the some 15-30 million ILLEGALS in this country who have no right to be here and seem to think they're above our laws.

Nacho

NO way! that's unAmerican and dangerous, especially for our economy.

i think it all started in 2006 when the activists decided a march was needed to let the united states citizens know how valuable the illegal immigrants were and how they were being taken advantage of. that act and the waving of mexican flags cause a backlash that sent the activists agenda back 20yrs. for every march those people have another nail in drivin into the amnesty and dream act coffin. hispanics make up around 16% of our population and by all acounts they are not a driving force yet. we have statistics that show the majority of hispanic ,latino high school children have a competance level to be at a 4th grade level.many of those children drop out of high school. if we are to believe the hispanics and latinos are the future of this country then we are in a butt load of trouble. most of us on here wont be around in 50 years to witness the destruction however little by little each and everyday we see the downward spiral.

MaryMary

OMG! Are you serious? Of coarse it's not safe for anybody.

@ lamme, please give us that source that says 70%. We'll be waiting, so until then, your rant is bogus.

just a thought

Do you think it is safe to allow millions of illegal, undocumented people roam a country without following the laws? Yeah, that illegal thing, you just can't justify it no matter how many questions you post.

To MaryMary (quite contrary):

The numbers were gaudy last June, and they've only gotten gaudier since. There is near-universal support, and it cuts across all lines. In fact, independents (85/12) are more likely to support comprehensive immigration reform than even Democrats (79/16). Republicans are just a hair behind (77/14). Support is strong across all age, race, and geographic groups. - American Voice http://americasvoiceonline.org/blog/entry/latest_research_2000_poll_reveals_gaudy_level_of_support_for_immigration_re/

Pew breaks down its results by subgroup. While the results for Republicans and independents are predictable, those for Democrats arenâ€™t. Sixty-five percent of Democrats support requiring people to produce documents, 55 percent would allow detention of non-verifiers, and 50 percent would allow questioning based on police suspicion only. Accordingly, Democrats are split down the middle on the Arizona law: 45 percent in favor, 46 percent opposed. Notably, Pew finds somewhat more Democratic support than do the other surveys, suggesting that additional information about the Arizona law tends to move Democrats toward it rather than away from it. - The Democrat Strategist http://www.thedemocraticstrategist.org/strategist/2010/05/tds_coeditor_william_galston_w_4.php

A majority of the people polled, 57 percent, said the federal government should determine the laws addressing illegal immigration. But 51 percent said the Arizona law was â€œabout rightâ€ in its approach to the problem. Thirty-six percent said it went too far and 9 percent said it did not go far enough. - New York Times/CBS Poll http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/04/us/04poll.html

3 sites, 1 Republican, 1 Democrat and 1 PEW.

I would say that you are the one making the assumption here Tony. The simple fact is that most of us on the anti-illiegal alien side are on this side because we have been harmed in some way by the illegal alien community. Most of us have woken up and pulled our heads out of the sand and see the reality of the issue.

Which is that the illegal aliens cause far more harm then any gain they would happen to bring! Not to mention the harm being perpetrated on them by their own people.

I do not assume anything Tony. I do expect the people to follow and respect our laws. simple as that. If you are not willing to do this and the first thing you do when coming to this great Country is to break our laws then you must get out. Regardless of race, color or nationality!

mnwomen

Illegal is illegal no matter how you spin it. If they obey the laws no problem. I think it is safe to enforce our laws across the board.

mizzshopper

Illegals don't belong here. Get over it! If you wanna be here, do it legally like the rest of the world, and stop being so bitter, because you and your relatives don't wanna follow the law.

Jaime

No - I notice this on here all the time. I'm glad somebody asked the question.

Jerry233

No way. I kind of knew this was the true story behind it all.

Docar

NO!

It should be based on the laws!

Illegal aliens are here illegally! (that's why they are called "illegal aliens!")

They should all be removed because that is the law!

Good to see you finally seeing the light and going with the law and morals rather than letting racist hate groups like la racist and the splc dictate who should be in the US based on a political assumption!

I think it is safe to allow the majority of the Americans to decide. The simple fact is all political parties give the worse impressions of the other by saying stupid things and avoiding the problem at hand. Problem #1 ILLEGALS ARE BREAKING NOT ONLY AMERICAS LAWS BUT MEXICO'S AS WELL. There is punishment and price to pay for breaking the law. I think that everyone who wants to be an American should but they must go through the proper channels and follow the laws and things that go along with becoming a citizen. You are missing the biggest point here and that is the ONLY fear is invasion and we are being invaded by illegals any way you look at it. There are millions of illegals here MILLIONS. Name another country that has 20 millions illegals not paying taxes taking advantage of the social system and having others feel pity for them as they do it?

Mendi8a

the govt is a group of people. so are minorities, so is the majority... thats how the country is run and has been run since the first European settlers arrived. The Natives before them had groups of people that decided who should and should not be allowed to be around. I cant answer that it is safe or unsafe, it all depends on the people in the group and their individual mindsets, not ones that u claim they have, nor ones that the majority wished they had.

We as Americans should not allow a group to dictate who will be American. I think as Americans we need to start holding our government accountable for the reason why Illegals find the need to cross the border Illegally. I have no problem with each person in the United States being a citizen legally I think it is right and I think it should be mandatory. That being said if the borders are going to be guarded and foreigners are to be processed then questions is can we process them? the answer is no and that is the real reason why the border crossings are out of control. The US government has not put a working process place. And so they allow this like everything else they touch to get out of hand and why is it out of hand? because they are not accountable and they are incompetent

Gray Wanderer

No it isn't. We should NOT grant asylum to criminals and illegals based on political assumptions. All that does is lead to more criminals coming to this country. But since (as your question demonstrates) both the Democrats and Republicans are basing their ideas on who should be in the US on political assumptions....
