I am sorry that some people do not understand what "illegal means. You make a great point.\n Americans are ALL immigrants from another country. When we become Americans through birth or through the proper citizenship procedures, we have the right to vote on American policies and laws (at the age of 18).\n\n The fact is, we have voted and the law is that anyone from another country can't just move here without going through the proper procedures. It is ILLEGAL to do so and that is why they are called Illegal Immigrants. It is not because everyone hates immigrants.  my father is a LEGAL immigrant, am I racist against my own father? That is ridiculous.\n  I understand that things are bad in Mexico. When my Father came here, his family(my family) was starving, too.\nNot only that but, their house was bombed when they were in it. So was the shelter they moved to. Despite all of this, they still had to wait. As a matter of fact, my Grandfather had to join the American Army, too. And he was happy to do it.\n  I have a lot of empathy for people that have things much worse than I do but, breaking the law is breaking the law.\n\nI dare any American to go to Mexico and break a law. See if they are as kind to you there as we are here. Not, likely.\nOr, go to Mexico Illegally and then try to protest. You will be spending the rest of your days in a Mexican prison.

Both ILLEGAL immigration and FOREIGN INVASION!!  These people were marching in our streets demanding that we give them the same rights as everyone who came here through the LEGAL channels.  Don't you guys see something wrong with this picture??  There is a war going on here at home and people need to wake up to the truth before it gets out of hand.  Yes it is a WAR pro-ILLEGAL immigration supporters have already stated as much.  FOREIGN INVASION?  ABSOLUTELY!!  They have already proven a willingness to disregard our laws and are marching in the streets waving MEXICAN flags.  You can't tell me that's not an invasion of America.  Wake up and smell the roses people.  We can't nor do we have the responsibility to take in and support everyone who wants to immigrate here which is why we have immigration laws already on the books.  I'm sorry that their countries are so hard up but that IS NOT our fault.  Their countries were based on immigration too (Spanish Conquistadors, duh) and they've had A LOT of the SAME opportunities that our forefathers had.  It IS NOT our fault that they didn't use them!  Oh, and I don't have a swastika as I don't see this as a racial issue but a LEGAL issue.  If those of you saying that we're all racist for not wanting CRIMINALS here then you need to get a dictionary and look the meaning of racism up.  I'm not discriminating based on anything other than that they are here ILLEGALLY, REGARDLESS of their reasons and therefore according to the laws already on the books and in effect are supposed to be deported!!  EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY has its own immigration laws.  Why is America made into the bad guys for wanting theirs enforced, when the other countries are enforcing theirs???

Birds of a feather flock together.  A lot of the politicians are lawyers.  Lawyers believe in the rule of law.  If it is not illegal, then it is OK to do it.  Most of believe that the law does not cover everything.  Just because it isn't illegal does not make it moral.  Remember, only criminals have rights.

Well, everybody is looking for their own interest in this regard. People who are protesting are protecting their interests. All in all there is nothing wrong in protesting but  it is up to the government to take decision which serve larger interest!!!!

I always believed it was illegal lin this country. Now we find out it isn't. Regardless, I think anyone who burns out flag should leave and go to another country. Pick one that is better than this.

Good question.  I'd like to hear some good reasons why they think it is acceptable too. Personally I don't think there is ANY valid argument that will fly for coming here illegally.  I'll check back.  Thanks for asking.

WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IS ILLEGAL

You are correct.  Illegal is illegal and violators need to be prosecuted.  Americans do not have the luxury to select and choose which laws we want to abide by and which ones we don't.\n\ndjmantx\nGood point.  ILLEGALS are also jay walking to America.

No! No human being is illegal. They came to the USA to find better lives, just like the pilgrims. In my opinion, they should be granted amnesty.

its not illegal, by British law but it would be taken as a threat to who ever you were doing it to, again its not an arrestable offense, but not a very clever one, especially if your in the wrong sort of place and why would you want to do that anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is not illegal but it is not very smart either. They came get you for resisting arrest, disorderly conduct or obstruction of justice and take you in for those. At a minimum you would get printed and probably get to sit in the clink for a short while. You may win in court but is it really worth it?

Yes it is illegal..in England such items are seized by the Police and destroyed and the sellers prosecuted...

I don't think it should be outlawed but i do feel a person or group should have to show good reason and get a permit prior to doing so.  How many would burn a flag in protest if it cost them money to do so.

The word is ILLEGAL immigrent it doesn't matter where they are from. I think that the people that employ them should be arrested and put in Jail and have to pay a huge fine for hiring them. That is the real problem. No Jobs = no work = no reason to come here.

illegal is illegal...no matter how we sugar coat it...it's still illegal.  if we're going to change the terminology "criminal" is appropriate.

You're absolutely correct!  Ans people fail to realize the extent to which these "illegals" make all of our lives easier. I hope they continue to boycott and protest.
