Why shouldn't we execute anyone that illegally crosses our borders.  After all post 911 why take chances.?

The United States Penal Code has well defined penalties for those who break various laws.  The Penal Code does not include execution as a penalty for breaking immigration laws.  The penalty for that is deportation.\n\nIf you believe that they should be executed, you should lobby your congressperson, although I must warn you that you will not get very far with that idea and may end up receiving a visit from the FBI.

Though this isn't a question, I decided to comment.\n\nFor the most part I agree. Yes if you are anywhere illegally it would only make sense that you should be placed back where your are legally allowed to be. And as for our government they don't want to go along with that because it would make them unfavorable to the illegal immigrant vote. Wait did I just say the illegal immigrant vote? Yes...the politicians are worried they won't be voted in by people who can't vote anyway (or shouldn't, though I know fraudulent ID goes a long way).\n\nLaws however are drawn up by use of an underlying moral code. Why is it illegal to murder, rape or rob someone? Because morally it is incorrect. Morally it is correct to believe someone belongs in their own country unless they are given legal permission to be in another country.\n\nLegal permission is the whole point of the matter, I don't care if you want to come to America and make money, by all means do it, this is the land of opportunity. Just check-in on your way across the border. It really shouldn't be so difficult to make sure we are letting people with pure intentions cross over on to our side of the border. If this means you will have to fill out a form, be fingerprinted, and questioned, so be it. It is to all of our benefits to make sure this happens, we don't want to let the wrong person (Terrorists for example) across our borders to kill us (American citizens) and you (the immigrant who is here to cash in legally on America's boundless oppertunities).

I've read some of the comments on here by others,and they do not want to see the TRUTH!!!!! Since i live in a border state,(Arizona),i know exactly what you mean!!!! Just today,i was reading an article about four people being killed,because of ILLEGALS trying to run from the police,when they tried to stop them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the incidents involving illegals,has really been INCREASING,since all the talk of amnesty!!!!!!!!!!!\n\n Some people on here have said, "Americans commit a lot of crimes too"!! And,while this is TRUE,there is nothing we can do to American citizens,except lock them up!!! It's not like we can deport THEM!!!!\n\n But,the thing is, the ILLEGALS should NOT be here in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they were not here,these crimes would NEVER have happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the same with all the other countries not JUST USA. Have to do it to keep the immigration(illegal) population in check and lately, with the terrorism risks, its been even more stringent! Do not need the "wrong" kinda people to enter into US or any decent country for that matter!

If they grant amnesty like in the 1980's.  I would prefer that they set something in place to secure the border but the entire border.... their lack of gumption to do anything about this situation has us in a terrible predicament.......The politicians greed for tax money enabled terrorist to penetrate and invade our lovely country.  Amnesty will happen but I want them to secure our country

No matter how you spin it, they're here illegally. Our government shouldn't have ever let that happen. I don't think most americans have any problems with legal immigrants and lots don't with even illegals, but what about our nation's security? All terrorists & drug dealers  have to do is pay the mexican police and they can come right on in. The key to national security is at the ports, airports and the borders.  I think it's time americans against illegal immigration come together on this issue. Write, e-mail or call your local politicians and make you voices heard. I did. My husband is an immigrant who had to do it legally, so why shouldn't everybody else? Please, it's nothing to do with racism. It's concern for our country and the american way of life.

I totally agree with you!!  Why are we babysitting these illegals?  They broke the law by coming here without papers so-----once caught for anything, if someone isn't legal get them the hell out of here!  Come on!!  Mexico won't give us back their people when they murder ours because they don't want their people put into our death penalty system, but yet they think it's ok if their people break our laws and ruin our healthcare system.  Why do people expect us to cater to these individuals?  Do it legally or stay where you were born!

Thats a hard question! But I wouldnt compromise since they guys can still kill your family anyway so why not inform the authorities as soon as possible!

If these were Americans detained for this amount of  time in another country we would do what we seem to do best....go to war. I don't think we should just let them go, but I do think they should be tried in an American Court of Law.

All drug dealers,murders etc need to be taken off the streets to make this world safe for all of us .\nBut if you had come here via the legal route and you paid your money and waited,and waited some more until you finally were allowed to enter the US,wouldn't you be angry at the illegal that just because hes illegal gets his citizenship handed to him on a silver platter.That's just wrong.Totally unfair.Don't you think?

why don't we just shoot them instead w/ snipers?... we could set up a wall like they had in berlin and when immigrants try to cross the border we could just shoot them down.  or we could just send a few nukes down to mexico and kill them and their families.  OR we could get to the reason why illegals are coming here- because corporations and small businesses hire them ILLEGALLY and just shoot them and then immigrants will no longer want to come here.... ooohhhh but that would be killing white people... and that's not ok.... it's only ok to plant landmines on mexicans because they are people of color right????...  pendejo!!!!

Because they don't  have to, and they wouldn't get one.  Why do we just let them stay here?  Other countries would put them in jail.  They're "illegal"!!!

WE will never know!!! A better question is, How many TERRORISTS have sneaked into this country across the mexican border??!!!!!! THEY know how EASY it is to sneak in here too!!!!!!!!! If we had a president with any balls, he would have CLOSED the borders BEFORE 9-11, when there was "chatter" that something BIG was going to happen in the U.S.!!! NOW,six years LATER, he decides to put the guard on the border. But, it's NOT to keep out terrorists, it's ALL FOR SHOW!!!!!!!!!

I presume you have a good reason to have the person deported? Are they a terrorist or break one of our laws? If so call your local police. If that doesnt work call INS or the FBI.

Agreed that the president isn't above the law, but with some many american associations not doing their jobs (INS especially), it has made this an option.  Did you know the terrorists that blew up the world trade center buildings were here for 6 YEARS on an EXPIRED VISA?  Had someone taken care of that, like noticing that and kicking them from our country, the towers might still be there.  But, how many more people have to die by the time you get a warrant?  What more valuable to you?  Your life or your privacy?  That's the real question...

Because we are being bombarded by these applications and not everyone is legit.  They have to do thorough background checks.  In my own oppinion we should close our borders for the next 10 yrs. work on rebuilding our own country and helping our own people.

Doesn't make sense does it? These terrorist want to kill us and once we capture them they should be given rights? Terrorists love what these people are trying to do for them...
