Because an illegal alien, invading the US IS criminal! |
|

life is good!
|
they already are, if they are here illegally then they are breaking our laws..which is a criminal act. |

There's a legal process for immigrating to the United States. If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck.... |

uh mm because they are, they broke the law coming here ILLEGALLY, so what do you call some one that knowingly commits a crime, other than a relative?? |
|

Rommel
|
because that's what they are. its actually illegal to move into a country without applying for permission. |

When you brake the law you are a CRIMINAL, very simple. |

First of all, let us call a horse a horse, they are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. They entered the country illegally, they take employment illegally, they set up house illegally, they use our services illegally. One or two illegal infractions committed once in awhile, doesn't make a person a criminal. But living, working, and collecting benefits in a country you didn't have official permission to enter does constitute criminal activity. |

Read immigration law. The word undocumented says enough. |

entering the US without proper papers is a misdemeanor
aiding and abetting an illegal is a felony
driving without a license is also a misdemeanor
driving without insurance is also a misdemeanor
using a stolen social security Number or ID is a felony
applying for gov benefits when not entitled is fraud.
All these things illegals do, so they are criminals. |

Hmm, let's see now. Because:
-They are more than NOT likely to be paying taxes and contributing to the country
-Some of them probably ARE criminals
-There are legal immigrants who pay their way, yet still arent entitled to benefits. So why should "undocumented immigrants" as you put it, get things which they arent entitled to?
Hope this answers your question |

Yes if you come here illegally then you are a criminal and should be turned straight around and returned from wherever you came from |

We don't ,the Federal government does because once they stepped foot over the border without proper paper work they are named illegal aliens and are in the eyes of the law, CRIMINALS! What part of illegal don't you understand?
There is NO such thing as "undocument immigrants/worker!" That is made up by people wanting to let lawbreaking criminal illegal aliens get away with breaking the laws!
DON'T REWARD LAWBREAKERS! |

Are they in the country legally? No, so they are illegal and therefore since they have broken the law they are criminal.
Logical really. |
|

Wapiti
 |
Because they have broken the law by entering the country illegally for starters. |
|

Ya heard me
|
That is their label, has nothing to do with whether people "like" it or not. Follow the laws or don't expect law abiding U.S. tax paying citizens to care. |
|

Because most appear to be.
They come here and create criminal networks and then as they are from the EU they can not be deported.
Until proved otherwise all Immigrants should be treated as potentially criminal. |

Hatred against immigrants, legals or illegals, it doesn't matter.
Since they cannot rant against the legals, they rant against the illegals, but they show their hatred very clearly
Maybe they remember what their ancestors did to the native Americans
As somebody says, in the USA there are 35 million laws. Everyone has broken a law at certain moment. Therefore, everybody in the usa are criminals |
|

because they are here illegally, and the definition of illegal is a criminal action, therefore they are criminals -simple connection my dear. |

"Undocumented immigrant" is so 1990's.
Today, we of the hysterical ultra-left much prefer the phrase:
"Downtrodden exploited guest worker".
Now pardon me... I must go finish singing African American Spirituals and the last chapter of "Mein Kampf".
...."Let my people goooooooo....." |

They are not criminals... |

only the narrow minded haters say that! If you say they are, well, then guess what honey? you are a hater!
They aren't criminals! they are just here to live a better life and to provide for their families. Maybe you should try to get to know a few. You'll see how humble they are. |

If you criminalise it then you will have to be pay for them because you will have to put them in jail. There should be an amnesty this would allow all illegal immigrants to register and start paying taxes. And for anyone who doesn't want an amnesty should look at it's success in countries such as Spain. They should also look at them self's after all if their not an a native american then you yourself were a immigrant once and probably came in during a time when there weren't such a thing as immigrant documents. Therefore how would they feel if they were the poor, the hungry, or the huddled masses yearning to breath free but told to go home because the USA doesn't want people like you anymore. |

They have to blame somebody for their problems! The only crime most illegal immigrants have committed is living here illegally...FACT!
http://www2.tbo.com/content/2008/sep/07/me-crimes-less-likely-from-immigrants/
illegal immigrants actually are less likely than others to commit violent crimes, said researchers who study the issue. In part, they say, that's because the immigrants don't want to draw attention to themselves.
Available data "put the lie to this hyperbole, this immigrant scapegoating, the sensationalizing, and especially the conflation that legal or illegal immigration is associated not only with crime, but with terrorism," said Ruben G. Rumbaut, a sociology professor at the University of California at Irvine.

Immigration: No Correlation With Crime
Despite our melting-pot roots, Americans have often been quick to blame the influx of immigrants for rising crime rates. But new research released Monday shows that immigrants in California are, in fact, far less likely than U.S.-born Californians are to commit crime. While people born abroad make up about 35% of California's adult population, they account for only about 17% of the adult prison population, the report by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) showed.

‘Immigrants Bring Crime’ Is a Myth |

Who does that? If they work hard and are honest, who cares about documents? and throw the first stone who has never ever broken the law here and there. |
