Why do people compare illegal immigration to breaking and entering?

Morgan G

I sooooooo agree with you! Illegal immigrants are not taking anything away from us or harming us in any way. I'm tired of hearing people say "What if I came into your house and refused to leave?". NO ONE is coming into your damn house, quit using that analogy, it doesn't make sense!

oldmarine08

We have twice as many muders from illegal aliens (7,000 a year) than what we lost in Iraq in 5 years!

MyWifeisSoHOT

HERE IS ONE FOR YOU:
My wife was hit and run by a person taht turned out to be an illegal working here.
I HAD TO PAY FOR THE HOSPITAL BILLS
I HAD TO BUY THE NEW CAR
I HAD TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK TO BE WITH MY WIFE IN THE HOSPITAL.
Total cost out of my pocket for an ILLEGAL to hit my wife - over $36,000.
It was supposed to be the down payment on our new home.
I can't wait until it happens to you.
If they were legal, they'd have had Insurance and I'd have have a home to call home for my family, now i have to keep paying someone elses mortgage by paying rent.
ILLEGALS DO HURT US ALL.
Well, what part of ILLEGAL Immigrant are YOU not understanding? And how did Legal Immigrants work it's way into your question? ILLEGAL immigrants DO STEAL JOBS. If they are illegally here and working, they are taking a job from someone that is legally here, so it IS stealing.
I'll never understand you bleeding heart liberals.
the word ILLEGAL should really say it all.
"Oh, Illegals should have rights"
They SHOULD HAVE RIGHTS.
if they come in via the correct process, by all means, they can have MY Job.
But they are IL-LEGAL.
And Outsourcees are working LEGALLY in their country. If they want to work in the DELL home office, they are welcome to, if they do it via the correct process.

Illegal means illegal, why would you not understand that?
I would like to provide more for my family, but, I won't break the law to do it.
You need to take a walk through the streets of L.A. and see if your heart still bleeds.
I had one ram my car from the rear and take off. I got the lisc. # and called the police. When I got out of the hospital, I called the police to ask if they had found him. They said yes. I asked what did you do and they responded with NOTHING. He had no ins, no driver's lisc., and it wasn't his truck. I asked what if I had done that? They said that I would be in jail..
Do you see anything wrong with this picture? Now they are going to turn them loose, with their semi's on our roads. When they run over someone, Who pays? think an insurance co in Mexico is going to give you a dime. Ha!

"Better life for themselves?" ALL crimes are committed because someone wants a better life for themselves.

Should we let bank robbers go free, because they just wanted a better life for themselves? The average illegal alien uses $23,000 per year in social services, while paying less than $2,000 in taxes. Do the math dude!!!!

DannyK

If they are not paying taxes, then yes, they are stealing from me.

gaparklane

Because whether they intend to or not the illegal immigrants are using services and not paying for them. They use our emergency rooms and then don't pay causing the cost of health care to rise for those of us that pay for it. Then they are committing crimes in this country, Having children to intentionally get welfare... If these people want a "better life" then they need to work to change their country, not invade ours.

The work "Illegal" means not within the law. Entering a place Illegally means "Breaking and entering." I hear you to say it is okay to break into your home as long as I do not plan on harming you or stealing from you. Where do you live, I am tired of paying utilities, and doing laundry. I am coming to your house.

Bork M

"they're taking our jobs" bull, because outsourcing is far more devastating to employment rates than undocumented workers could ever be"

so, if someone punched you in the face, that would be OK, because that's not nearly as harmfull as being stabbed with a kife?

Becca the Tea Lady

Duh............they are breaking and entering. Sneaking into America illegally is a crime!!
If you do not think they are here to steal, mug,rape and pillage Please come to Houston and spend a month. That will change your mind real quick.

Kenneth G

maybe because it is ILLEGAL, their intentions are not important, deport them and get rid of them

richie9toes

There is a legal way to do it... once you cross the border without following the procedures you are breaking the law.....period. criminal.....period. cant dispute that... period.

catmaninmo

Hang out in here a little while and you will see posts of the detriments, the prison population % of illegals, and those of you who really believe you are here to take over. That is why some make that comparison. While I am sure there are many who mean no harm, there are many more with nothing more intended.

I waited year and a half for my wife to be able to be here with me , and when someone enters the US illegal it really pisses me off, we had to work with the system not go around it, I am one of the first to say it is not perfect but it does work . Plus there are in place for good reason, so we know who is entering and leaving . People can say that system is slow and sometime people/ families are a part for too long of a time . If people just stop doing the easy thing and do the right thing the system will work faster and better for the fact man power can be used to process people rather than used to track down and police the people who do not want to follow the simple laws.

XENON BLACK

Because of the laws...Yes we have laws....just because people that do meth aren't hurting anybody there is no crime......?where do you live?
Obey the laws...
Do not support aliens!

hamrrfan

If someone comes into your house without your permission that is breaking and entering. If you found a group of strangers in your house would you just ignore them? Would you let them use your house indefinitely or could they just live in your backyard?

Nations are sovereign entities and thus have a right to control their boarders. All exert some type of control on those entering their land.

DEPORTATION FOR ALL ILLEGALS

--------------------------------------...

Gizmo W

bECAUSE THESE PEOPLE BREAK INTO OUR COUNTRY, TAKE WAHT THEY WANT AND THEN DONT LEAVE.

When asked to leave they then scream "my rights my rights" but heres the thing, THEY DONT AHVE ANY RIGHTS! Rights in this country are for CITIZENS only. not ILELGAL INVADER CRIMINALS!

Sherilynne B

So you allow anyone to enter your home, uninvited, anytime and they can stay as long as they like, hoping they don't rob or kill you?
What's your address?

Danial J

I never thought of it that way but it does make sense. They are breaking and entering. Thanks for the new term.

squirrel

It IS breaking and entering! We are losing our hard earned LEGALLY earned dollars to these illegal aliens who crossed our borders ILLEGALLY!!! What is it that you don't get??? Other countries dont allow this! Our economy gets worse and worse because of these aliens who don't pay taxes, get free food and medical care and free educations!! Americans have to PAY for those things! Illegals need to be deported with a swift kick in the ***! Want a change? Vote McCain! Oh, and by the way...YOU ARE A TOOL!

They aren't just stealing from Americans, they are stealing from immigrants from all over the world. Just a few years ago, the quota of permanent resident visas per country was at 20,000. BECAUSE OF ILLEGAL ALIENS who have STOLEN OPPORTUNITIES that don't belong to them, our quotas have been lowered and lowered and lowered again until now each country is only allowed a quota of 5,000 per year.

This is a DIRECT result of the theft of opportunity by illegal aliens. NONE of them should ever be afforded legal status -- EVER. It is appalling that they have been allowed to take what they are not entitled to. Illegal aliens are the reason that so many people have to wait years to immigrate here.

Also, the incarceration costs of illegal aliens since 2001 is well over a billion dollars. That doesn't sound to me that they "hardly ever" harm others. It sounds like this lot, instead, has a predisposed attitude that laws don't apply to them.

Go figure.

forgivebutdonotforget911

If I have a sign on my property that says, PRIVATE PROPERTY, KEEP OUT.....if someone comes onto the property knowingly, they are trespassing and I can have them arrested for that.

If we have a sign on the fence that says, USA, KEEP OUT, if someone comes into the USA knowingly, they are breaking the law and can be arrested for that.

What part about "BREAKING THE LAW" is so damn hard to understand? It does not matter WHY they do it, they do it.

Also studies have shown that every illegal is costing the USA $2700 per year in expenses. Benefits they get that someone else has to pay for. I for one am tired of having to carry freeloaders on my back. They need to make honest people of themselves by GOING HOME!

"Please don't suggest to me that "they're taking our jobs" bull, because outsourcing is far more devastating to employment rates than undocumented workers could ever be"

Two wrongs don't make a right. Most people want law and order respected.

Victor S

For a country, jobs and level of the wages those jobs pay, are among the resources which need to be protected, just like the silver, electronics, and other valuables a home owner needs to protect from theft.

This is true of all countries, ever since the beginning of the Industrial Age, not just America. Every other country in the world, including Mexico, which uses deadly force on its southern border, protects their employment resources much better than the US.

You could not be more wrong about outsourcing being more devastating than undocumented workers either.

America could easily come out way ahead in jobs if the politicians insisted on US manufacturing plants for other industries they way they do for the automotive industry.

rickv8356

breaking and entering is the same in the sense that they are entering without proper permission, when i was young i broke into a business but did not steal or damage any property, i was just curious as to what was inside, if i would have gotten caught inside you can believe i would have been arrested if not punished by the business owner, did not matter that i did not steal or damage anything, it was the action that was wrong. and you know what after getting away with the first time i did it again and did do damage and stole property. AHHH the the good old days were when i could do bad things and get away with it. fortunately i eventually found the right path before getting caught.

Lynnie F

Anyone here that is here illegally is breaking the law and therefore hurting our government and making us look like complete idiots... if we solved all the problems all over the world what would be left for our children? as a mother i can say that the schools not having money, the hospitals closing, and me not being able to get money for school because colleges are giving more money to people that shouldn't be here... (anchor babies are wrong)... how can you compare my child having to sacrifice her birthrights, being legal and me being legal, for someone that is breaking the law and creating all these problems... anyone that says there is no problem with "illegals" needs to be slapped because right there... in that word there is a problem...

Illegal...

if i was to drink and drive would that be ok?

how can a undocumented person get changed with murder? they can run... back to their own country...

there is a problem...

H8tbreed

Are you kidding me right now? They are both illegal, many of these people come here for the American gov's lack of being able to say NO YOU GET NOTHING- GO BACK. Many of them come here break the laws, bring down property value, cost the U.S taxpayers BILLIONS (which would be stealing correct?) there are plenty of other reasons if you did a quick search you can find everything your looking for. Start with these, there is some very useful info: newp.org, and stormfront.org

countryboy

It starts with our own people in Government and State offices, that really don't want to resolve the problems..There a far more benefits given to these people than to our own people for one. Many years ago all immigrates had to have sponsors in order to enter the US, that's not the case now. We have more people becoming citizens everyday now than we ever had before.Until the US Government and State Governments put laws in place that control illegal immigration it will be something everyone will address as breaking the law to enter the US.
You point out a better life for them and the children, that shouldn't mean that the US has to make changes to fit their needs. As far a jobs I'll agree with you, they don't take that many away from the American worker. For one, alot don't speak English so wouldn't be able to, also they don't go into areas that they don't know what to do. This year if not next year and years to come unless it is taken care of all the jobs that people from Mexico did at different times of the year will cost farmers and other alot of money. Alot of people might want to say good, but those jobs aren't being taken by American workers to support the farmers and crops at different times of the year. There are more Mexican workers than what people can see that are willing to do whatever is asked of them in order to work here in the US. Many years ago our Government had programs where the Mexican and other people could enter the country to work at different jobs for a certain amount of time, but that was under full control of all work areas. If something such as that was done with farm workers, we just might get a better control over just who the immigrates are here in the US that are illegal. It can't be that hard to control but we have people in office that won't do anything for fear of losing the votes needed to stay in office

DJ High Tek

I agree with you 100 & 10%. What are we really protecting when we claim to be protecting our borders and Schools? This whole Immigrations Debate is nothing but a bunch of "HYPE". The Government has got their self in one big mess and now is tossing all of it on the Latinos. Not only that what they are doing is trying to start a Mega War against the people they claim to be of their standards and those they claim to have under their feet. They have brought about this "Hate Crime Law" as one big joke because no one is enforcing it. I have my own question to everyone out there if the Latinos do go which I think is going to be hard to do who's next? Because as I see it all fingers are only pointing at those with Skin Color. Their mouth says no but their actions, tone of voice and just about some of everything else says yes. I have yet to see a Job on the face of this Earth with someone's name on it. So stop all this "Our Jobs" crap that's not getting anyone any where. You are always saying the Latinos just want everything Free but yet on your Computers you only look for the "Free Applications to Download Free Music. Stop all the Sugar Coating tell it how it really is if you are going to tell something. Free Loaders? What is going to happen when they come to this Precious Country called America? Are they not going to pay rent in the homes they live in, Are they not going to pay taxes when they go to the store. If you want to hate do it but don't blame others and make it hard on others because you wasn't brought up right or because you only live in a world like the Smurfs, Bugs Bunny and all the other Cartoons do. People like myself and this person here live in a real world where everyone has the right to provide for their family, So what they ride my back to get over a hump that is called being a Brother or Sister. And that is what GOD fearing "Human Beings" do with their lives. You need to be Thanking them for Feeding your families while you done nothing but sit on the Internet all day long, call INS all day long, Make your "False" claims against Latinos all day long. With people like you at the controls of the world we won't get anywhere. I myself don't believe the Churches in this Country will be Supporting Latinos that don't ask to come here. I don't remember asking anyone if I could come here I was placed here just like EVERY... LAST.. SINGLE.. BEING on the face of this Earth. I'm sick and tired of hearing people say my Tax Dollars should not have to pay for this, My Tax Dallors should not have to pay for that. But when Jesus Christ Blood "Paid For It All" no one open their mouth to say anything. And not be going against them. What is to gain in the better life? Author, Eddie Smith
