Why can't bleeding heart liberals accept illegal aliens are ILLEGAL?

No what I can't understand is why illegals are protesting this and demanding rights as though they have ANY rights. I don't understand where they get off. They demand that they get the same rights as legals who have worked for their citizenship. They aren't legals. They aren't supposed to be here and yet they are protesting and demanding rights. They need to realize that they have no rights and deserve no rights. They are stealing jobs and causing crime in a country that they are in illegally.

They are as far as I am concerned. Most of America feels this way, and wont work for these tyrants. Illegal immigrants are being taken advantage of by criminals. When Congress moves to a Democrat congress they will be indicted and fined. The Republicans know this and are trying to put all of the problem on the Latinos. I say make sure the Latinos vote Democrat if they want any retribution. America will never deport the ones that are already here in America and are established. Democrats don't treat people that way.

If you mean the same as in they have both broken a federal law, than yes very similar. Illegal immigration is against the law, lets not dilute the truth. But we reward them, that would be like people protesting for the rights of the bank robber. Also they aren't citizens, so the way I see it they have no rights here. My great grandparents came over legally, so can every other person.

Illegal aliens in America are here only because they are guilty of criminal violation of our federal laws, ‘jumping’ our borders and living in a shadowy underground economy. They are morally culpable for shoving aside those who adhere to the law and enter these United States in orderly and legal fashion. Since when do criminals and cheaters receive pride of place for the blessings of liberty, over those honestly, earnestly and faithfully seeking to become American citizens? \n\nPresident Bush has called for a reasonable and civil debate over the issues of border security and immigration reform. But the American people understand there can be no responsible immigration reform UNTIL OUR BORDERS ARE SECURE. “Guest worker” amnesty programs ARE NOT a part of border security. Amnesty is not the answer. To grant amnesty to these trespassers is to say "You crossed our borders illegally, you broke our laws and now we are rewarding you with U.S. citizenship -- congratulations!" \n\nThis is unacceptable. \n\nAll of this is to illustrate the absurdity of a "comprehensive" approach to illegal immigrants, and the more radical of the illegal immigrant advocates who are proponents of an "open borders" policy. We don't take a comprehensive, humane approach with drug dealers because they are breaking our laws and causing great damage to this country by poisoning our children. Similarly, illegal immigrants violate our laws and poison our system of economics by taking jobs from American workers, keeping wages artificially low, and sucking millions of dollars of taxpayer money out of our welfare and medical systems. \nNot To Mention The Fact ThatA Majority Of Illegal Aliens Live And Work In This Country And Then Send Their Money Back Home To Their Families (Whatever Nation Their Families Live In) Therefore DRAINING The Economy Even Further. \nWhen The US Dollar Leaves The US... Its GONE From The American Economy. \n\n\nThe media estimates that almost one million illegal foreign migrants and their advocates militantly marched in the streets of America under the flag of Mexico. Their agenda is for our federal laws to be ignored, and their criminal trespass into these sovereign United States to be rewarded with unlimited benefits that include the rights of American citizenship! \n\nAs these large mobs of foreigners marched proudly under the flag of a foreign country to demand the right to live and prosper in the United States, they claimed that the issue is immigration. But their own actions reveal what is in fact a determined effort to force Americans to accept large foreign colonies in our midst, and to pay handsomely for the privilege of doing so. We have both the right and the moral obligation to defend America, and “just say ‘No!’”

Reactionary laws?  That's friggen hysterical.  It's already against the law to enter this country without going through the proper channels, hence the term (as un-PC as it is) ILLEGAL ALIEN.  \n\nNow, as far as counter protests and marches, we have several things going against us.  \n1. We don't have a close knit network to get the word out.  There's a website here and there but there's no coordination between sites.  \n2.  Concerns about being viewed as racist.  So what if the issue isn't about race?  So what if it's about people, regardless of color, who are INVADING our country?  The media and the Hispanic/Latino leadership in this country will try to smear ANYONE who organizes a widescale protest.  \n3.  Fear of being retaliated against.  \n4.  Lastly, I believe a lot of Americans feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the problem and frustrated that the American government isn't enforcing its own laws.\n\nI say we treat illegal aliens the way they treat them in their own countries.  For example, here are a few of Mexico's laws.\n\n"Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters. The State may grant the same right to foreigners, provided they agree before the Ministry of Foreign Relations to consider themselves as nationals in respect to such property, and bind themselves not to invoke the protection of their governments in matters relating thereunto; under penalty, in case of noncompliance with this agreement, of forfeiture of the property acquired to the Nation. Under no circumstances may foreigners acquire direct ownership of lands or waters within a zone of one hundred kilometers along the frontiers and of fifty kilometers along the shores of the country." \n\nArticle 32: "Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable. In time of peace no foreigner can serve in the Army nor in the police or public security forces."\n\n Foreign-born, naturalized Mexican citizens may not become federal lawmakers (Article 55), cabinet secretaries (Article 91) or supreme court justices (Article 95). \n\nAccording to Article 33, "the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action."\n\nNon-citizens are forbidden to participate in demonstrations or express opinions in public about domestic politics.  Article 9 states, "only citizens of the Republic may do so to take part in the political affairs of the country."  Article 33 is unambiguous: "Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country."\n\n*In response to the answer below:\n\nIt's not a complex issue.\nThey ARE criminals.  They broke the laws of this nation by entering without going through the proper channels.  Many of them use stolen or forged identies and social security cards, which means they are breaking MORE laws.\nBusinesses do not need their labor.  Businesses need to stop undermining the foundation of this county and discontinue their law breaking activities.  Who the hell do you think did the work before the last 12 million illegals came here?  Do you think Americans would sit and starve if illegals didn't pick fruits and vegetables?  I guarantee you they would NOT starve.\nJefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt are spinning in their graves over the invasion of this country and the government's lack of action to stop the influx.\n\nTheodore Roosevelt Advocates Americanism, 1915\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because they're not Mexicans and/or they're not entering via the Mexican/U.S. border. Our stupid politicians, both Republican and Democatric, have let over 11 or 12 million illegal immigrants invade our country.  Democrats are worse, letting anyone come in as long as they can get their vote, but Republicans aren't much better, finally agreeing to build (but not fund) a 700 mile border.fence.  If the Chinese could build a 5000 mile wall around their country with their own hands, I think we could throw up something pretty decent in the next 9 months. Got plenty of illegal immigrants looking for work, they could build it. We can put a man on the moon, but can't build a frickin fence. Gutless politicians.

I feel that anyone who wasn't born in the US or who wasn't born to parents who have citizenship in the US must be required to apply for immigration.  Residing in the country without a valid visa or US citizenship is ILLEGAL, and nullfies all rights which any liberals might seek to provide law breakers of any nationality.

Because we have too many bleeding hearts here. If they are illegals (Mexican or otherwise - ie, not a race thing) they legally do NOT have American rights. But, hey, whatever. Why have laws? They only keep order and keep everything turning to sh*t - IF THEY ARE INFORCED from the beginning. \n\nNow, we have the people saying, "it's mean to deport them. They have been here so long." Well, it is like this. People (again - OF ANY RACE) who walk right into the country and get comfortable here is the same thing, but on a larger scale, as someone walking right in your house and plopping down on your couch. Would you let that happen? If you did let it happen, and the guy gets a friend to come and live in your house - both eatting and using your electricity and such, would you let both of them? You can't afford to keep paying for their food and electricity. They aren't giving you rent (ie taxes). Oh, sure, they have been in your house for so long. They love it there. But so what? THEY DON'T BELONG THERE. They aren't paying you anything. If they really wanted to live there, they should have gotten a lease (ie green card) and been paying something to help with what they were taking. \n\nAnd I strayed from the original point. Basicly, we as a nation have been too nice. They are watching what channels they want, and (by protesting and using the rights that AMERICANS (of all backrounds) fought to keep) painted the walls of your house what colors they wanted. Time to evict. Sorry, but you wouldn't allow it in your home, would you?

Amen. By allowing illegal aliens or immigrants or whatever to become citizens, we're telling everyone "stay here long enough illegally and we'll forgive you." What happens when that illegal kills someone, or rapes? What do we do then? Let it go, because they have a 'right' to sexual pleasure?

What do you do when you want something from someone you can't beat up?  You kiss their as_s, right?\n\nWhat do you do when you want something from someone you can beat up?  You beat them up.  \n\nSo, they think they can intimidate us into giving them what they want.  Well, they're SORELY mistaken.  I'm fairly liberal, and I might have been cool about this, but they made a serious mistake when they started DEMANDING these things.\n\nAnd the lack of assimilation is ridiculous.  They're chanting things in Spanish that the citizens, those who vote for the freaking representatives and senators, can't understand.  This is extremely disrespectful.  They've won themselves over, but they've turned the rest of us away.

Because they ARE ungrateful!! You are right,WE all worked and made this country what it is today!!! Our  great grandparents,etc,etc, came here LEGALLY!!! There were NO laws back then,so NONE could have been broken!\n\nILLEGALS are just like every OTHER deadbeat,they think we OWE them a living!!! Who do they think is PAYING for them to have their "anchor babies"??? THEY are sure NOT doing it,so the COST gets passed on to the taxpayers!!! Is it any WONDER,that the American people are SICK of MOOCHERS??!! Illegals are costing EVERY  taxpaying American citizen for their social services,and GOD FORBID,if the Senates amnesty plan was to pass,it would cost taxpayers BILLIONS more!!!!!!!!!!!\n\n It's not even a question of "race",because it does NOT matter if they were from a different country ,we would STILL feel the same way!!! It's a matter of SURVIVAL for every American citizen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What part of ILLEGAL do you not understand. Legal immigrants are welcomed every day. ILLEGAL aliens go home.

That's because there are dumb idiots out there that think the U.S. borders should be open to everyone.  They think that the U.S. has no right to enfore it's borders because it's the land of the Native Americans and the U.S. took it by force.  More liberal bullsh1t.  At least your a conservative so you have a hold on reality.  Many liberals (not all) are screwy in the head.  They don't understand what's good for the country.  But I think most of those crazies make up a small percentage of liberals, not all of them.

Oppose illegal immigration, for legal immigration.

First of all you need to define your terms. in your question you stated "hate" and "illegal". In your support, you stated "immigrants". There is a VERY large difference.\n\nBasically that illegals are here ILLEGALLY!\n\nIt appears that your statements are based on a vile dislike of the word "Republican". Illegals do not steal the jobs of fat cat Republicans, they steal them from the high school kid next door trying to save for college or buy his first car. they steal from the public because they demand serviuces and goods but are not taxed to support those goods and services. In essence, they arent pulling their own weight. Are you stating that you approve of freeloaders? \n\nAs an aside, did you know that if you added up the number of people who you consider fat cats, did you know that 3 of every 4 fat cats are liberal democrats, as stated by the federal General Accounting Office? I use the word "rich" here, and i define it as anyone making over half a million dollars a year.\n\nSo i recommend that you define your terms and your position before you go firing volleys based on hate, and make sure your arguments are complete and accurate.

It is sad, but in reality they are being attracted for a reason. Nobody forces the government to give them money and assistance. Illegal aliens do not make US laws and policy. Also, the businesses that hire them are never punished adequately. As far as legal entry, the costs are exorbant and the process takes years. It easy to see why someone would take the easy route.
