Why can an illegal immigrant get by with breaking laws while US citizens are expected to abide by them?

peroxidekween

The only people concerned about the unfairness are the people expected to abide by the laws. The illegal immigrants are just fine with it, and don't care as long as they get to stay here. What really concerns me is how people are trying to turn it into a "racism" issue instead of a "criminal" issue. Regardless of what race you are, if you break into someone's house, you should be punished.

Political correctness is killing us. We care more about not hurting people's feelings than upholding the laws.

Well, basically it's because US citizens are so afraid of being called racists, classists, or Xenophobes that we have let them get away with it for a couple of decades. Fortunately, the race card has worn tired and carries less weight. Unfortunately, it may be too late as the children of vast numbers of "anchor babies" now comprise a huge voting block that both parties feel the need to pander to.

The Ultimate Answer Guaranteed

Illegal immigrants don't exist as far as the government is concerned and neither do extraterrestrial aliens. Its all a figment of our imagination, the government is smart to know; that which you can't explain or fix: ignore.
No people will always fear the consequences of laws, otherwise laws can be changed to create harsher consequences, fear always exists.

Yes, it's a DOUBLE STANDARD. I agree.

We already have the minutemen voluntarily posting themselves on the border, and holding the illegals as they cross.

It's heading that way. Us citizens have about had it.

fairly smart

This is why we need to actively seek them out & deport them, & build that wall as high & big as it needs to be to keep them out.

I imagine it has something to do with all of the effort and expense it takes to send them back to their home country. It's probably just not worth it to most police officers. Plus the language barrier is usually an issue too. Only about 1/3 of the officers I know speak more than just one language. It's completely unfair to the people who live and work in the country legally.

I am concerned as well. All these political figures are too worried about what every other country will think of us rather then their our citizens.

More and more voters are listing this as a concern but it seems like most of the "major" candidates aren't addressing it. This is one of the BIG reasons I'm backing Ron Paul in '08.

Immigrants do not get away with crimes! They get prosecuted and deported!

davidmi711

Because in both cases too many people turn a blind eye to illegal activity.

Very good question. They are so obnoxious, demanding their rights while they disobey our laws. I wish they would be rounded up at those protest rallies and deported.

You are so right , lets ask the Government and see what kind of answers you get .

it will be taken care of when we get a new president that doesnt have the mindset of a five year old

The only law they dont follow is being documented. How is that comparable to killing, stealing and cheating on your tax returns as ALL you hypocrits do....dont deny it!
Anyway, if by being "victimized" but illegal immigrants you mean fender benders then thats why you have insurance..tough **** and tough luck. That sort of thing happens to anybody at any time by anyone..deal with it cry baby.
Now, they get away because obvioulsy they dont exist in our US system so who are you going to go after...a police sketch like you see on Law and order?
Which brings us back to what illegal immigration is all about..lack of documentation....NOT your assumption that they are all scum and you (being white trash) more than likely are the freaking princess your own **** you walk on.
get off your high chair before I smack you off it.
P.S. I'm not an immigrant

they suffer a worse fate if they get caught breaking the law than you do. So- I'm not sure that you've got it right.

I know many illegal immigrants, and every one of them is a hard-working, honest wonderful person.

See: Liberal Democrats and their hysterical political correctness. Look that up and you will have all the info you need.

Law in your own hands means taking responsibility for actions that are not acceptable. The law in your own hands does not have to mean violence you need to understand that revolutionaries founded this country with the aid of the American Indian and many are still around to assist in the ridiculous intrepretation of the constitution accessed by persons who feel they can take what is ours.

When you find that answer out let me know. The illegal immigrants are given the royal treatment for being here illegally, & that's why more & more are sneaking into our country. They're thumbing their noses at us as they enter our country, knowing they can get away with things, we can't. I live here in the south & they drive new vehicles but have no driver's license. A bunch of illegal immigrants were arrested the other day in my city, for driving without a license. For some reason, they don't think they need one.

Well, if they are cught, they really don't "get away" with it. The problem is with the attitudes of the surrounding community. Since the illegal crowd tends to congregate in an area, they comfort and sympathize with each other. Get them out of that atmosphere and they find very little sympathy.

You can find "sympathy" in the dictionary between the words "s*%t" and "syphilis" .

Looking for the REAL answer!

Illegal immigrants are expected to follow the laws and do get arrested when they brake them....

get over it all ready you've been spitting hate at illegal immigrants all morning, find something better to do.

My Answer to your response to me is the following: I seriously doubt you know for a fact whoever commited a crime against you is an illegal, and if your too cheap to pay for your insurance don't expect other to feel sorry for you when your not covered.... Stop acting like the victim when your so sour mouthed about illegal immigrants, maybe if you spent 1/2 that energy protecting yourself you wouldn't have such problems. I live in Miami where I'm positive 100's of thousands illegal immigrants live and in my entire life not once has a crime been commited against me or anyone I know by such "illegals" Don't hate a group for things that happen to you, you can easly come off as a racist.

I've seen plenty of that myself. **** will hit the fan one day

If they are Illegal immigrants. Shoot them ! just like the british Police did with Jean charles de mendez . I support them 100 % as he should not have been in Britain.

Illegal immigrants don't get away with breaking laws, if they are caught they are arrested and must do the time, then they are deported. If people start taking the law into their own hands then we will be breaking the law. Not all illegals are criminals, some are just looking for a better future for their families. Wouldn't you do whatever it took to survive? Mexico politicians don't care, that is where the change has to begin. I hope this helps.

What do you think causes illegal immigrant problem? Think. It's the U.S. Citizens who don't want to scrub the floors, washing dishes, mow your lawn, watch you kids, clean your house for minimum wages.
