No. Not now Not ever. Illegal means not legal, how could someone breaking the law be in a position to sit in judgment of another person. |

Absolutely not. They shouldn't be recognized in any way if they are illegal. They certainly should not be included in the very judicial system they disrespect with their illegal behavior. |

There is no good reason for that. The only thing an illegal immigrant should be doing in a court room is getting their *** sent back to where they came from. |

That's about the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, why don't we let the run for president and see how long it takes before this nation looks like Mexico with twice the crime and drugs. |

You're kidding right? I hope you are kidding.
They're ILLEGAL immigrants. They're breaking the damn law every day they're here. Would you want someone who can't follow the law deciding your guilt or innocence? I think not...
EDIT: I am revisiting this question because it is important for you to know what a jury of your peers means. Peers in the United States is interpreted as fellow citizens. If you are here illegally, you are not a citizen. If you are here illegally, you are not protected by the United States Constitution.
I've worked in law for quite a long time, and I know that if people fail to show up for jury duty, they will be punished. There are more than enough eligible citizens in this country to make up for the people who choose to ignore their civic duty. Illegal immigrants will not get past voir dire, so what would be the point of sending them out a notice? It would be a waste of paper. |

NO and they should not be allowed to recieve assistance from any states or government either why should those that are legal work and pay taxes and social security pay their way i have been in stores shopping and watching my pennies vanish before my eyes while they are at the check out with a cart full its bull round all of them up and send them back where they belong also if they are here and have no legal static they should not be able to own businesses that compete with legal business owners if they can have a business here why not in the home country because they are intitled to more here than we Americans are we are taxed to death then they come here and the government hands everything to them it makes me sick to see my family work before the sun comes up until it goes down and have a hard time keeping our noses above the water yet they drive nice cars wear better clothes and live in way nicer houses than we will ever afford and then complain that they are not treated nice omg they have it better than we do would we be better off in their country hum something to ponder on what do you think |

Anyone who says yes is an idiot, and has absolutely no comprehension of democracy.
Illegal immigrants need to be deported. Quickly. End of story.
LEGAL immigrants are very welcome to serve on jurys and I think it's great. |

We had this come up in my State. Stolen ids were used by this illegal. they were afraid not to report for jury duty so they said. They didn't make it to the actual trial but almost. I think this might happen more than we know.
Harris County, Texas discovered that those called for Jury Duty after registering to vote then went before a judge and said they couldn't serve as a juror because they were not citizens of the United States.
Absolute and undeniable proof that there are foreign non citizen people voting in our elections. Anyone with one ounce of brain matter of course would realize that with the estimated 20 million illegal aliens living in our country that some of them would actually attempt to vote. Same here, I believe
And they can get driver's licenses. We have seen that.
Harris County Voter Registrar Paul Bettencourt testified before a congressional committee this summer that in 2005, he identified at least 35 foreign nationals who applied for or received voter registration cards. In fact, since 1992, Harris County officials have canceled 3,742 registered voters for noncitizenship. Why were they even given? Most important, Bettencourt has records of noncitizens voting in Harris County.
Disturbingly some of, the noncitizens removed from the voter rolls were identified mostly because they refused jury duty by admitting they were not citizens. But how many did you wonder
. An applicant must attest, under penalty of perjury, that he is a citizen to register to vote. Clearly, that law has been violated. You think lying stops at the court duty?
The reason that vote fraud is very possibly widespread is because places like Texas election law sets the bar for voter registration and verification far too low.
The secretary of state checks voter registration applications against drivers' license and Social Security databases. However, both Social Security numbers and drivers' licenses can be obtained by noncitizens.
Furthermore, the secretary of state notes that an applicant may register even without a drivers' license or Social Security number by supplying a utility bill or pay stub. Any person, including noncitizens, can pay for electric service; any one with a green card can work and earn a paycheck. Those documents do not prove citizenship. But they allow it.
"Hey, I pay for electricity in America therefore I can vote and serve get an Id or license from the driver's center and do anything a citizen can do!" Sounds like sound policy to me.
Every lawmaker in America should be investigating this since they were elected by voters. Of course you're likely not to hear a peep out of the majority of them since the fraudulent votes were cast for them .And most crimials would like them to be their jury of peers.
No they shouldn't be allowed, they are breaking the law in being here!
They are not legal residents; therefore they are not the "peers" of the defendant.
Twelve good men,. That leaves out anything illegal, then |

No illegal Immigrants should be temporarily detained and deported ASAP.
If you can't enter this country legally then why should we expect you to follow any other laws? |

Interesting question. People are supposed to be judged by a jury of their peers. Ignoring that most trials in the United States violate that by not even having a jury, who are one's "peers?"
My great-great-grandfather came here from Holland "legally." This means that he bought a ticket from Holland to Ohio and got on the boat. That's it. He didn't ask permission. He didn't tell the USA he was coming. He just bought a ticket.
So, because I believe that what's good for the goose is good for the gander, I am willing to allow everyone else the same freedom that allows me to now be a United States citizen instead of a Dutch citizen, with one caveat: they follow the Constitution when they get here. Thus, they cannot accept welfare, since it's unconstitutional. They cannot vote for those who vote for unconstitutional laws, which is currently 434 representatives, 100 Senators, and one President. |

Absolutely not. They shouldn't even be allowed to vote. |

Just because you're not a citizen doesn't mean that you are illegal. Permanent Residents who have a driver's license and file their taxes get summoned for Jury Duty, but they can not serve since they are not citizens....
No every time you try and make exceptions you give illegals a better chance of success....Leave well enough alone. Only citizens should be allowed to serve as jury.... |

Are you kidding? Would you want someone who's in current violation of a federal law deciding whether or not someone else is guilty of breaking the law? |

Only citizens can vote.
As for jury duty, I think it should be for peers (ie Americans) who one would hope has a laymen's understanding of the legal system
"Interesting question. People are supposed to be judged by a jury of their peers. Ignoring that most trials in the United States violate that by not even having a jury, who are one's "peers?"
Umm, the constitution requires either a trial by jury or judge so wtf are you talking about? |

Are you talking about illegal aliens? In the United States, folks who are not in the country legally are called illegal aliens. In fact, in English, the correct term for almost anyone not in the country illegally is... illegal alien.
Illegal aliens are not allowed to have drives licenses. They should not be allowed to be on juries and they are not allowed to participate in any governmental activities. They vote.. it is illegal. Some churchs and many of the corporate foundations believe they should be allowed to vote and serve in juries.. the law, and the American People do not.
Per thinkings on this... that thinking has been done in depth on many occassions by very bright people. They decided citizenship is key to the decency of a jury trial. We will have to do something about the no shows for a jury trial. |

If you were on trial would it be "A jury of your peers" ? |

No, BUT if we are to try illegal immigrants from south america or the middle east then YES, ultimately you need to found guilty BY A JURY OF YOUR PEERS* |

It would be good for us, an experience in our adoptive country.
But we would need translators fluent in Spanish.
Otherwise, No thanks. |
