Why do people care if you are legal or illegal?

i dont unederstand that about people who cares if your illegal or not if you want to get technical then we are all illegal cuz our ancestors came over here and invaded the terriorty of the indiansand we call our selves American well theres Central America and South so who are we to say if your not an american then you cant be here wellz they are american so we are wrong i was born in the US but i don think we should judge someone on their color they are still human and doesnt it say in the constitution that all men and women should be treated equaly?!

ok i dont understand that people say they are destorying our country how?? most of them try and have a better life! i guess people from the United States are racist!

Puh Lez. Illegal is illegal. Criminal. Unwanted in the US.

This ancestor crap is so...........1773.

And no one is judging anyone by their color of their skin. Racism has nothing to do with illegal immigration.

Show me a single post where I or any other legitimate poster on here spoke badly of anyone based on race. I DEFY you to find an example.

Claiming racism when you broke the law is so.....OJ Simpson.

And don't go quoting the Constitution if you don't abide by it, OK?

The USA is a sovereign nation that has the right and duty to control its borders and to enforce its immigration policies. Those who disagree with that statement, and their are many of these people at Y/A, are either grossly ignorant, or traitors to their country. We will defeat any attempt at amnesty for illegals, as we are patriots who demand that our govt enforce our nation's immigration laws.

Illegal immigration -- it affects us all

Well because they don't belong to the united states and because they have there own country to destroy and we don't need them coming over here to destroy it!

Do some more research, Ace! It's not their color or their origin it's the way they come in to our country. Sneaking over a border is Illegal. Try it in Europe and see where you wind up!

It's amazing how ill educated our children have become.

I you have a problem with "being technical", countries enforcing their laws, and this sort of thing, you need to move to a remote island somewhere.

THIS IS THE YEAR 2008.

ALL countries have the right to have immigration laws and the absolute necessity to enforce their borders. It has nothing to do with color of anybody's skin. It has to do with FOLLOWING THE LAW.

UNDERSTAND??

If things had been different you might be right. But they aren't: we are Americans and have a government. If the British won, or the French started war and won, we'd be under their rule and their rules. However, our country is about as "free" as one can get. but to chuck citicizenship is a large step towards anarchy, which is a very big step towards being overtaken by anyone with guns. We have to have rules and laws. No nation has survived long with out a uniform law system that the mojority of the people recognize as supreme and a government that the majority of the people recognize as sovereign.
To answer your question on why people care: they are a drain on the economy and have changed the culture of America for the worse. I'm not talking about the jobs that "no-one wanted". That's alwyas been there. What I am talking about is the rediculous amount of money that is spent every year that can be traced back to illegal residents, many of which are not paying full taxes.
We have laws.
The real gripe shouldn't be "why don't we open our arms to them?", but "why doesn't Mexico make it worth while for them to stay?" That is where the pressure should be and it is not.


Support Our Troops
Even the Native Americans migrated here hundreds of years ago and they didn't have any pre-existing laws set in place like we do now.

Race has nothing to do with this issue - stop trying to divert the attention off of the true problem at hand.

We care because this is our country and we will do whatever it takes to keep it from turning into a third world cess pool.

EDIT: English is the primary language of this country. You either respect the laws of the land and policy of our nation, or you get out.

When I see a light skinned individual I don't think about whether or not he or she is illegal, and the same goes for dark skinned individuals. You're making a very ignorant generalization and you clearly don't know much about immigration and you appear unwilling to see the big picture.

ASK YOURSELF WHY THOSE WHO WAVE THEIR FOREIGN FLAG IN OUR STREETS REFUSE TO LEARN ENGLISH AND ASSIMILATE. THAT IS WHERE YOU'LL FIND RACISM!


Trouble
Oh Pleeeeeeeeeze, THIS HAS BEEN SO, "OVERDONE"!!

ESPECIALLY the "your Ancestors", BULLONEY!!
AND the ALL MEN & WOMEN, equal part...that was Written FOR AMERICANS in the Constitution.

ie: "WE THE PEOPLE OF THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"....etc...

Who did the Indians take it from? . Illegal is Illegal, and if we are so RACIST, then why do you want to live amongst us. I have lived in other parts of the world and yes I have heard all the criticism about how bad we are. If that's the case why in the h*ll is everyone trying to move here. GO HOME where it is so wonderful, and you don't have to deal with us racist Americans.

Well by your way of thinking why do people care if murderers or thieves are running the streets. I mean them committing a crime is just a technicality right? C'mon,people kill others in war so why are we so tough on murderers?

By the way, none of my ancestors came here illegally,they were good law abiding people who actually wanted to be Americans.

Because most of care if laws get broken or not. Most of us care if legal immigrants have their opportunities taken away by law breakers. Most of us care that disease is being brought into our country by unscreened illegal aliens. Most of us care that criminals sneak over our borders rather than undergo a background check. Most of us care to enforce our sovereignty and our laws.


catmaninmo
put the crack pipe down.... the constitution is meant to provide all men and women as citizens of the U.S. are treated equal, not everyone from anywhere in the world. Though we try to treat others equally, as in humanely, that does not mean open our tax money to anyone and everyone because they do not understand what sovereignty is.

We own this country and we make the laws. Be legal and obey them and you will be treated equally. I, personally, have no problem with legals trying to improve themselves. However, they need to do what is necessary to assimulate if they wish to stay. I have seen more claims of racism on the illegal argument and I honestly do not believe you all understand what the term means or when it should be applied. Denying illegals rights is not racism. It is our right to a secure, safe and economically prosperous country. I dont care what history you pull out of your behind, it is now irrelevant as are your arguments of racism.


ed
You must be related to illegals to have that point of view. Also, its not right to call someone a racist because they don't share your political belief. I have no problem with anyone one of any race, however, I expect everyone to follow the law.


Joel W
Because the American Taxpayer supports the illegal aliens to the tune of billions a year.

Tell us you will pick up the tab and we will disappear instantaneously. I think you can count on something under a trillion a year.


Razor Jim
If you do not understand the basic concept of law then you need to sue the school and teachers who taught you. Illegals cost 70 billion dollars per year....legal immigrants? not so much.
There are 500,000 illegals in US prisons...add some more billions for their care.
We care very much how you come into the country.

As a society we have rules ,and if you cant follow the first one. Why should we then trust you can follow any others.

Try to cross a border in EUROPE without papers .I bet your *** gets shot!!!

We continually hear that we are all immigrants since we, or our ancesters came here from another country. We hear how these immigrants made America and realized the American dream. This is true. Of course at the time much of the immigration took place (abt.1850-early 1900s) the USA was not a settled country with the huge population we now have. The people who came pioneered and helped make this great country!

Yes, we should treat all people equally and all people should have equal opportunity to pursue the good life. By the way, the constitution was written for the United States of America and the CITIZENS of this country. (But I'm sure you know that!)

I don't think we have anything against immigrants who have every right to come to the USA if they do so legally. It's just the illegal immigrants that bother us. They are not contributing to American Society. We don't want to have a country that is divided with a portion of it belonging to those who are not citizens.

As we all know, America is in financial trouble. We are spending so much on illegals and there isn't money left over to take care of our own needy citizens. We hear that Medicare, Medicade, Social Security and other programs will just run out of money.

We need to take care of our own people before we try to take care of the unfortunates of the world.

Check into the urls below and see why changes to benefit American citizens should take place.

going the legal route, and its a slap to the face for those people.
