Illegal immigrants law - Who is it targeting?
343328
It's targeting Mexicans because mostly everything that is happening is happening on the Mexico/U.S. border.

Unfortunately, the history of this country is such that in times of economic depression and population changes, particular segments of the population become targets for the disappointed. \n\nWhile I am all for immigration reform that makes sense, I am NOT for using immigration law as a tool for ethnic cleansing which is where this current agenda is heading. It is a shame that in discussing an issue that is very important, we have targeted Mexican people. Not all Mexicans are in the country without authorization, yet this is a fact that seems to escape many people. In recent weeks, the use of the word "illegal" has become synonymus with Mexican. \n\nI am also unconvinced by the statistics mentioned to suppourt the current reform proposal. Data can be interpreted in any manner to suppourt its researchers claims. We are talking about a group that constitues about 5% of the overall population. Sheer reason tells you that such a small segment cannot have the rampant and overwhelming effect cited. Yet again, this is something that seems to escape many. I wish we could think back to the spirit of the constitution and the intentions of the Founders.

Not only are we correct it is our responsibility.  The laws are there to be enforced.  Someone need to tell the powers that be at the Office of Border Patrol in Washington D.C. in particular Chief David Aguilar to get off his butt and allow his Agents to do their jobs.  He has their hands tied so tight that they are unable to enforce the immigration laws that are currently on the books.  Call his office at 202-344-2050.

Report this to the Customs & Border Enforcement division of the Department of Homeland Security (what used to be the INS).  There are agents in just about every federal building in the country.  This is especially true if these people are making a profit on trafficking and/or placing the immigrants in dangerous conditions.  \nhttp://www.cbp.gov/

If someone is doing something else illegal in usa, and we help them, it's a crime called "aiding and abedding." So I guess they want to make the same law apply for illegal immigration. Seems pretty fair to me. \nThe students are probably protesting coz they don't want their parents, other relatives or friends going to jail or deported. On the other hand, the other citizens of the country are demanding something be done about ILLEGAL immigration.\nMy relative is a legal immigrant. He had to do a lot of paperwork and pay money to come here. It's fair any foreigner has to do the same.

Legally or Illegally?

1 - How do you know they are illegal immigrants? You'd need evidence before the police took you seriously. Perhaps they are foreign students? I wouldn't try a citizens arrest in this case.\n2 - Americans, there is no INS in England, and most Brits don't carry guns, "shoot there brains out" is not a helpful answer, nor grammatically correct.\n3 - You can find details about illegal workers here: http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/ind/en/home/0/preventing_illegal.html\n4 - Or call your local police station (Kent police 01622 690690)

I do not believe anyone should be rewarded for breaking the law.  I believe the US needs to increase worker visas and illegals should be given access to these, with penalties for being here illegally.... such as back taxes.  I think they should be at the end of the line as far as applying for citizenship.  I think US companies should assist in identifying employees that are possibly illegal and severely punished for having illegal employees after a relatively short grace period.  I just pray that there are not enough terrorists here, due to our failure to enforce our own laws, to attack us from inside.

Illegal immigration is one thing. Threatening to hurt ones child is a totally different thing.\n\nEven if you are angry with what happened with a small bunch of illegals big_divot, taking out your anger on an individual and her daughter is not the way to go. Instead you should make a case against whoever it was and follow it through until they all get the justice they deserve. \n\nThe girl who wrote this topic has every right to report you not to Yahoo Answers, but to the Police. \n\nOne thing is freedom of speech. Another is to make threats to ones livelyhood. And where this is going, your treading on very thin ice.

Your logic is correct.  Giving amnesty to a group of individuals is discrimination against those who have broken other laws.

In my humble opinion, it is the illegal aliens that are playing with fire. The Minute Men have become very popular in the last few months. They don't accually catch and hold illegals rather they report the invaders to the border patrol.

Isn't that illegal somehow? Call someone and find out, and get the law involved. don't do anything that would stoop to his level, or tick him off more.

From what I've heard, a lot of illegal immigrants are law-abiding, tax-paying citizens.  Law-abiding except for the illegal immigration, of course.

No.  It only means that police don't ask if they are here legally until the arrest stage.  Then they ask.   I believe Colorado just passed a law outlawing sanctuaries.  I think that is a good thing.  The idea that somehow it is 'unfair' to enforce the law is one big reason why we got into this situation with 12 to 20 million illegals here.
