Why are Human Beings called Illegal Alliens?

dragonflygirl

poetic_lala

Because we're the ones who stole it...that is the people back then...

Just passing through.

All boils down to are you a part of the tax paying community.

dehumanization. its easier to abuse someone if theyre not people.

JoshInShermanOaks

Ummmm....

I know this is difficult for the folks in the slow crowd, but:

LEGAL immigration = Good
ILLEGAL immigration = Bad

Read three times.

...and are you being "racist" or "de-Humanizing" if you call a crime-commiter a criminal, or a person that murders someone a murderer or a person that robs a store a thief?

These are just accurate, clear descriptions of the status of someone's behavior.

VIEJA! --- LOOK HERE - VIEJA --- LOOK HERE!

All those examples you gave of prior immigration were LEGAL immigrants! and the U.S. accepts more non-white immigrants today than EVER before in its history - all races, colors, religions, ethnicities, etc... WAKE UP! It is not about race or superiority - it is about following the laws and rules of the country you want to immigrate too.

Americans go to MEXICO legally to get medicine or tour the country -- they follow the RULEs...

Yo!

Asl our government. That is legal term used by our government to refer to those who enter the country illegally.

American citizens are not illegal aliens because we were born here. We aren't even immigrants. This argument is a diversionary tactic to make Americans defensive and hesitant to defend their country from these illegal invaders.

The illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.

Illegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits.

My family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.

They not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them.

I am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexicoâ€™s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole.

Cultural imperialism

We experience Mexicoâ€™s assault on our country incrementallyâ€”as a series of mini-crises, each of which calls forth ever-renewed debates and perhaps some tiny change of policy. Because it has been with us so long and has become part of the cultural and political air we breathe, it is hard for us to see the deep logic behind our â€œimmigration problem.â€ Focused as we are on border incursions, border enforcement, illegal alien crime, guest worker proposals, changes of government in Mexico City, and other such transient problems and eventsâ€”all of them framed by the mediaâ€™s obfuscation of whether or not illegal immigrationâ€™s costs outweigh its benefits and by the maudlin script of â€œimmigrant rightsâ€â€”we donâ€™t get the Big Picture: that the Mexican government is promoting and carrying out an attack on the United States.

Another reason we miss whatâ€™s happening is that our focus is on the immigrants as individuals. Thus our leaders talk about illegal immigrants as â€œgood dads,â€ â€œhard working folksâ€ seeking to better their lives and their familyâ€™s prospects. In fact, this is not about individual immigrants and their families, legal or illegal. It is about a great national migration, a nation of people moving into our nationâ€™s land, in order to reproduce on it their own nation and people and push ours aside.

Thus, in orchestrating this war on America, the Mexican state is representing the desires of the Mexican people as a whole.

What are these desires?

(1) Political revanchismâ€”to regain control of the territories Mexico lost to the U.S. in 1848, thus avenging themselves for the humiliations they feel they have suffered at our hands for the last century and a half;

(2) Cultural imperialismâ€”to expand the Mexican culture and the Spanish language into North America; and especially

(3) Economic parasitismâ€”to maintain and increase the flow of billions of dollars that Mexicans in the U.S. send back to their relatives at home every year, a major factor keeping the chronically troubled Mexican economy afloat and the corrupt Mexican political system cocooned in its status quo.

dude

they are not. they are actually called illegal aliens

SHOOTER586

Although the Native American's cliche is a standard talking point for this debate, it is not valid.

In the 21st Century, there are rules and laws that are established to protect the borders and immigration into all countries.

US just happens to have very lax enforcement of those laws. Now when the enforcement becomes a matter of debate, those that got away with breaking the law are still considered illegal.

DAR

The United States of America, current owner of a specific lot of territory, and creator of a particular economic infrastructure and society uses that term in its laws to refer to people from elsewhere who are in the USA in violation of USA immigration laws. That term was in use long before 'space aliens' became popular topics of literature, film and discussion.

History before the existence of the USA isn't relevant to the issue because it is the economic infrastructure of the USA that draws the illegal aliens, not wikiups, etc.

If you break into my house, you are not an undocumented visitor, you are a trespasser.
If I shoot you, am I an undocumented marksman?
If I steal a bank's money, have I have made an undocumented withdraw, or is it robbery? Maybe that's just ethically challenged.

The definition of a alien is a foreign-born person who has not been naturalized in to there new surroundings.
Its not a bad word.

oklatom

Because under the laws of the United States of America, anyone born here is a citizen. Anyone who immigrated here and applied for and received citizenship is a citizen. Citizens are not called "illegal aliens", illegal aliens are.

Its a psychological thing. republicans want us to think of foreign people as if they are from another planet, so we dont feel shame of treating them like ****...

loyalrebel

You're an idiot. I should get best answer for this one.

Andy

well even Indians came over from Asia. Where dose it start , where does it end?

dirty birdie

The reason they are called illegal aliens is because they come here illegally. They do not have any paperwork allowing them to be here. If we just let them all come over it would be a disaster

bunnywomen69
