Should I turn my neighbor in?

CoCo

Looks like you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Hmmm....should you turn him in thereby ruining his family's life or keep your trap shut so you can exploit their situation? Maybe you should try to do something morally correct and help them out? You could see if there were a way for you to sponsor their citizenship.
I lived in Mexico for a while. They are wonderful, helpful, hardworking people that want the same for their families as you do for yours...a good life, freedom from oppression and an education for their children. And I think it is the same in all countries. I don't think we should open our borders but I do think that we should do something about the illegals in our country right now. If they are contributing to the economy and are not involved in criminal activities then we should keep'em. The rest go home and others stay home.

no dont hate

forget the law ask your heart its clearly saying no you will be destroying a family ignore and look the other way your good deeds will come back to you someday you never know be smart be good !

Just because they're illegal DOES NOT mean they are a terrorist. Try not to generalize like that. But he probably has a very good reason. How much do you know about his family back home? Maybe he has a mother with severe health impairments and he couldn't afford to care for her in his own country. Wouldn't you want to do anything you could to take care of YOUR mother? Chances are that he's just a decent guy trying to make a good living. And I think after living in the U.S. for 7 years, illegal or not, you can become a citizen and live legally in the country. And since he's working 2 jobs, he's obviously contributing to society. So don't be too quick to judge him.

Wow, that's a really selfish reason for allowing him to stay. I mean, I hate to see the man and his family be sent away but for you to not do something that you would normally do because you need help with your sick mom is wrong. Are you going to turn him in once your mom gets better? That would be wrong. Either do it now or don't do it at all.

Is he failing to pay taxes? Is he using a fake social security number? Does he add to the freeway congestion without paying state taxes? Does he drive without a liscense and/or insurance? Does he obtain free medical care without paying taxes? Does he pay taxes to support his kid's free education? Does he speak English so we don't have to publish public documents in his language? Does he take (two of) someone elses job, or lower the pay of legal immigrants because he's helping flood the job market? Does he cause every public agency in the state to work harder than it is funded to do because neither he nor his employer not contributes financially to it. Is he contributing to the primary reason for emergency rooms shutting down because of non-paying "visitors"? Is he displacing the millions of legal immigrants who are properly filing and trying to obtain permission to enter legally?

If his kids get straight "A"s, his country needs them more than we do.

No because he not doing anything wrong. Bill O'Reilly is just a idiot. My parent aren't terrorist and your neighbor aren't terrorist too. All the he is doing is just working hard to support his family and send some money to take care his parents. The children will be separated and be palace in the system to find them home. Just don't do it because I think you know that it would be the wrong thing to do.

Boob

I'd turn him in.

All gods are useless

I'm going to report you for being so retarded.

littlebylittle

The woman who are answering on here are unbelieveable.

"show compassion!"

it's too hard to show compassion considering SO many crime are perpetrated by illegals and they're a drain on an already failing american system. When a family member gets hurt by an illegal or they squat on your land and wont leave, then people will realize even more how ridiculous the situation is.

WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE WORD "ILLEGAL"

it means: NOT LEGAL.

ee_morningwood

oh just turn him in, and quit making stuff up.

Phoney. It's not working..........................

If you had not been USING these people's kindness, I would say call and report them. I am sure many illegals are nice people, but what they are doing is wrong. Stop using these people, you are as bad, if not more so, as they are. But, it is not right that you would use them and then betray them. Take care of your own mom, cheapskate. She birthed you, cared for you, loved you, fed you- the least you can do is return the favor. Be wary, someone may call your illegal friends in and they may be deported anyway. You are a user.

Talk to them about their illegal status. Offer to help them with the citizenship process and check to see if there are organizations in your area that help with the process, too. Explain to them that you value them as neighbors and don't want to see them run out of the US like common criminals. Then, we they complete the process, throw them a party!

But, if they resist doing things the proper way, you MUST contact INS. While I don't agree w/ O'Riley, it is wrong for them to be living here w/out being legal.

hexa

I want to no how in the hell he can afford a house, houses must really be cheap where you live, or he has jobs that pay him 20 an hour or more, I live in San Diego and I can't afford a house. That really pisses me off, an illegal can get a house for his family and I can't. What is wrong with that picture.

Don't

no.

and stop watching FOXNEWS

notyou311

You are so full of BS, it's not funny. Tell your fairy tales elsewhere.

Sashie

So, you want free health care for your mum, do you? Would you turn them in if you didn't get that? Sounds as if you're just as bad as those companies that hire illegals ... but they don't go whining about it on the net ...

dogflea69

Don't be like big business... turn him in... move your mom to mexico pay them over there. thats legal.

kaliraized

Of course this is a strong topic to approach. You have to be the one to decide whether your mother's care is more important than your feeling about illegal immigrants.

Take the time out to realize he isn't scheming us Americans. He is working two jobs and obviously instilling proper values in his children, as they have very high grades.

Personally, I would say think about what you would do in that situation and what courtesy you would expect and/or want. Try not to play border patrol and have a little more heart for somewhat dishonest people making an honest living.

roxy81492

Don't turn him in. That's not fair. He's working really hard to be here and you said that his kids are good kids, give them a chance.

ladiB812

wow, just another example of a greedy, lazy American. why aren't u taking care of ur own ailing mother, or better yet paying an American to take care of her- after all she is YOUR responsibility. sounds like the only reason u won't turn them in is because u worry about ur own personal interests & advantages first. This is the type of Americanism that has gotten us in this situation in the first place. Stop being sinical.

remmo16

Your story doesn't sound real but it really doesn't matter whether you turn him in or not. Nobody will do anything to him anyway.

Roseknows

If his kids are American citizens, born here in the U.S. they probably won't deport them.

Probably ICE, which is what INS is now, won't deport him. So, I wouldn't bother. If he owns his own home, it is impossible. He will probably be given amnesty.

Hadenough

No
I feel the same way-I have see those who can not get help. They do not qualify. And yes many foreigners come before us due to benefits that a foreigner qualify for. It had a purpose. The problem is we do not have the extra point for that because we were born here. It should be fair-you are so right.
But unless they are asking you to break the law or lie-it is no reason to hurt them because you hurt.

dark_storm73

Why not find out why he's illegal and see what you can do about it... like HELP? While I don't feel comfortable with illegal immigrants, it doesn't look like he's one of the ones to worry about, and in that case, could probably use the help getting "legal" status. You're taking advantage, it sounds like. Why not give something back?

mimilundgren

THIS ISN'T ABOUT INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE. THIS IS ABOUT PEOPLE WHO BREAK THE LAW. YOU CAN FIND ANOTHER CAREGIVER FOR YOUR MOTHER...MEANWHILE YOU ARE TECHNICALLY EMPLOYING AN ILLEGAL AND ARE CULPABLE.
