Why should illegal immigrants,that are living a good life, should be deported?

biwagirl20a

Ok, so what part of "ILLEGAL" in ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT did you not understand.

ILLEGAL = law breaker
ILLEGAL = Criminal
ILLEGAL = No right to be here

So I really dont care what kind of life they are living, they are a burden to the country and that burden should be eliminated.
the better life they life the more it costs tax payers. You do realize that they pay no inocme tax, they have no rights, can't vote, and the government pays for everything for them.

DAR

Because we have to pay for them. It costs $10,000 per child per year to educate a child, and that is only education. The things we built and pay for for our own poor are being ruined by too many people using them. When it was a small number, it was a problem we could overlook, but now it is a HUGE number and a HUGE impact on our schools and services.

So.. using that same reasoning... if a person commits murder, and then doesn't get caught till 20 years later, it is not right to punish him because he has lived a good life until he was caught?

Because it spits in the face of people who come here LEGALLY by successfully completing the immigration procedures. Those procedures are there for a reason, to minimize the number of undesirables that come in, and by circumventing those processes absolutely all kinds of folks are able to get in unhindered.

I did it LEGALLY, and I therefore have zero sympathy for illegals.

KRIS

because they have not come here legally.
why do you not understand this? it's not rocket science you know.

Should a bank robber who give the money to charity be arrested and jailed ?

Should a rapist who offers to pay child support be arrested and jailed ?

A criminal is a criminal, they enter the country knowing what they are doing is illegal and wrong. Why shouldn't they have to be held accountable ?

Truly Amazing

Using that line of reasoning, we shouldn't stop drug dealers and thieves from pursuing their respective livelihoods. After all, they're just trying to live a good life too. Find a better argument.

Governments should stop the influx of illegal immigrants not because they want them to have bad lives, but because immigrants need to go through appropriate legal channels to immigrate rather than enter the country illegally.

greenvetter

Because they are ILLEGAL!

because they have no right to be in the U.S. they violated our immigration laws.

Crash1121

I'm guessing a good life to you is that they don't do anything illegal... but they already have, from using our roads but not putting money towards the taxes to fix those roads, to entering a country illegally.

reallycoolperson

Of course they should be deported. They came here illegally. Why should they have a better life than someone who is actually living here legally. I don't mind the fact that they just want a better life for themselves and their children, but why can't they just save up money and come here legally. How hard could that be?

Because they are breaking the law.

Can I break into your home and take up residence there simply because I want what you have?

You said it yourself (illegal) if i run a stop sign do i not have to pay or go to jail because i broke the law

B.Kevorkian

Because it's illegal.

You can make quite a good living as a drug dealer, mob enforcer, pimp, or Enron executive, too - that doesn't mean we should condone such things.

JUSTME

Because they are ILLEGAL. ILLEGAL is the key word. Let them go back to their own countries and apply to come here LEGALLY and they will be welcome.

Otherwise, round up and deport all the criminal ILLEGAL aliens.

chuck_junior

You answer yourself within the words of your own question.

They're illegal and have no right to be here.

glenda w

They knew before hand what the law is.What would the USA be like If they didn't have immigrant law.

GoodJuJu2U

The government has laws that are to be followed when immigrating. An illegal chose not to do that. Their "good life" is at the expense of others. Still with me? They chose to be illegal, they chose to put themselves in that position. Poor choice. That is why they will be deported. Nothing in life is free and that means for illegals as well. Laws don't bend around individual wills, regardless of how many millions think it just might for them. No.

How well do you speak english?????

Illegal means exactly what it says!!!!!

As a teacher, I completely agree with DAR. The schools in Calif are full of the children of illegal aliens, mostly Hispanic, and these families may be "good people" as are the children, but the schools are suffering in a terrible way with budget cuts and lack of money. Illegal parents are not paying any income taxes, so they are not financially supporting the schools their children attend at all. Did you know that virtually every child of illegals gets a free breakfast and free lunch at school? Who do you think pays for that? US, the taxpayers. It's very frustrating to see your paycheck cut in half because of huge amounts of taxes, knowing that so much of that money is going to support illegal aliens with free programs like welfare, free health care for them, and daycare (school, because that's how most of the illegal Hispanics view school. I hate to say it, but I have learned from working at various Hispanic schools that it's not a culture that values education).

We don't have the money to educate the millions of illegals, especially since most of them have very large numbers of children. While most of these kids are very sweet people, I still feel that their parents need to stay in their own country and wait their turn until they can come to the U.S. legally.

We just can't absorb them all in such huge numbers so America is becoming just like the 3rd world countries they (illegals) came from in many places.

If they want to come here and pursue a good living, no problem. But they need to do it legally. Many of them come and expect - and receive - handouts, and that's not right. Come here and expect to pay your own way, and don't expect us to provide all your needs. As long as our own citizens have needs, we have no business helping the rest of the world, particularly those who come here illegally. It's like letting our own children starve, while feeding the rest of the neighborhood.

Gretl

Because taxpayers are paying through the nose to support their needs. If someone wants a better life, support yourself. Crime lead to more crime. Because they are jumping in front of the line of those trying to come here legally, and have paid a lot of money to do so, and are still waiting. If I want a better life, should I take half of someones money?

Busy girl

Yes some are doing very well, being upstanding members of our community. With that said, If they want to be here they need to put out the effort to become legalized. My grandmother came from Germany in the thirties, she came in on a ship and went through Ellis Island. She learned English and took the test and was granted citizenship. It was not easy for her. When someone asked her her nationality she proudly said American. Which she had earned. If immigrants want to be live in American they should become Americans and learn the American language. I am sad for the children of the people that come here illegally, they are being used as pawns by their families to acquire services from the American Government. The Mexican government would never give an American services that they were not in titled to.

Robert Hawkins

You mean the ones that are leaching off the tax dollars of hard working CITIZENS, like me? Because they are "ILLEGAL" (BREAKING THE LAW) Duh!!!! Next stupid question?

-TJ-

They are breaking our laws and they're lucky that Bush isn't taking them coming over here an act of invasion and going to War w/ them too. And the reason they're here is to work and make a lot of money and then one day go back to Mexico and live as a millionare. And they have so many kids so that they can draw welfare to make even more money.

mnwomen

Because they come illegally. I dont get to pick and choose which laws I want to obey and neither can they.

reallynow

Because they are just as Illegal as the poor illegal or the blatant abuser illegal. Illegal is illegal no matter where you came from or how well to do you are.

Politically Incorrect

Becuase their here illegally.

In case you've forgotton, illegal means breaking the law.
