If hispanics won't obey our immigration laws why should we believe they will obey any laws?

i did cross  illegally other  than   than  i've never  comitted  any type of crime or  offence not eeven a traffic ticket  had  recived , i think is just  injust is not  fair to generalize that all undocumented immigrant are criminal just  bcuz  we cross the border   first i did not know it was  a  civic  offence ithink if the  u.s  really want  to stop us from  commin  they  should make their  policies\n tougher and make it  clear and punish the employers\nlegalize  good migrants alredy here and  no more problems \n no cake., no child get  tempeted

This is the way I view things.  I wasn't around when they made the laws therefore I don't think it's fair that I have to abide by the ones I don't agree with.  If I feel like a law needs to be changed or if I want to make something made legal that isn't then I will try for it.  I will fight and get petitions and go to meetings for my cause.  However, if I still don't get my way I'll do what I want. I will continue to do illegal acts or whatever the circumstance may be.  I would never put anyone in harm's way but if I feel there is a stupid law I shouldn't have to abide by then I don't.  I may have to suffer the consequences but I will fight for my beliefs.

No..they are strict about ILLEGAL immigrants being here and with due reason.

We have our own immigration laws--they are not enforced. I wish they were tougher but fairer.\nTo avoid criticism, our government does nothing, says nothing, and are being nothing. And that is not good. They are poor Leaders. \nFunny how other Governments are able to to say "This is how it is" and keep their standing-but ours can not. Pitiful!

Hypocrisy.  Americans conveniently forget that unless they're Native Americans, they're *all* immigrants.  \n\nInstead of "I got mine, you get yours", we believe in "I got mine, so screw you."\n\nNo wonder the world hates us.

They're supposed to be able to enter the country illegally at will, and basically not follow any of our laws. If they want to cram 30 people into a 1 family home, then they should be able to do that. Driving without insurance? No problem! Laws are only for us stupid "gringos" to follow. After all, it would be "racist" to expect them to abide by our laws, since it would interfere with their 'human rights" to ruin our country the same way they've ruined theirs...

Mob mentality has a lot to do with their behavior.  People will do things in a group they would never do if alone.\n\nThe immigration issue is a difficult one.  What needs to happen is that workable, enforceable laws must be established and supported that allow LEGAL access for those wanting to work in our country, but they must work within the system.  If they don't, and we allow that, it's an insult to every immigrant who waited and worked to get here legally.\n\nWe simply cannot allow our laws to not only be disrespected and disregarded, but to have to financially support those who are breaking our laws as well.  That recipe will lead to disaster for our state and our country.  So change the laws.  Establish a win win situation for both sides.\n\nOur neighbors across the street worked three jobs each to get enough money to legally bring their relatives to the United States.  Is it fair that their hard work and sacrifice be dismissed, and the same rights granted to those who flaunt the laws of our land and "sneak" in?\n\nIt's a difficult situation, but we cannot abandon the rule of law.

they don't....BUT - they get all the foodstamps and medicare they want because - oh poor them, they came here illegally and broke the rules, but we don't want to make them be honest and respectable and follow the rules, we want to coddle them and give them whatever they want while LEGAL honest citizens who have been here their whole life can't get jack, jack!  That's what. If their situation is so bad, there is such a thing as 'emergency asylum' and etc. Also, most of the ones raising the biggest stink have tatoos and are part of "La M", mexican moffia or some other gang, and their country doesn't want them back either. BESIDES, if they don't like our rules, and they like their own rules better, why'd they come here? If they want to make this country into another version of the way things were back home, why don't they just go home?

Contrary to popular belief, our American laws are not the ultimate guide of morality. The laws are created by fallible human beings; thus, the laws are not always just. Simply because our laws say that someone is illegal does not mean that these "illegals" are bad people because they break the law by entering this country to find work. \n\nI keep hearing people say that "I don't mind immigrants. It's the *illegal* ones that I have a problem with." Well, if we handed out visas, then they wouldn't be illegal--would that change people's attitudes? Probably not. They would say that they have ignored the laws and don't deserve to be here. Well, most Americans have broken a law or two in their lives. \n\nI maintain the controversial position that xenophobia fuels the anti-illegal attitude (in most cases).

Send them back, they broke the law. If I broke the law I would be punished and so would you. We dont get amnesty so why should they? \n\nThe law is the law, be it a speeding ticket, murder or immigration violation. It has to be enforced. If we start sending them back and build a wall and patrol it then we will fix the problem.

No, I think it is pathetic that we are expected to follow the laws as citizens but they don't want to.  Come on grow up.

I can't speak for "who would want to," but Mexico is known as having some of the most draconian immigration laws in the world. It's funny that a government that actually encourages its citizens to violate the immigration laws of another country are the first to say "we don't want illegals here."\n\nQuite ironic.

yes, but the house shouldn't be fooled with 'you get what you want now, we'll get what we want later', it's the same thing.\n\nFelony convictions, deportation, even more laws to strip citizenship.  If they want immigration, fine, but not unlimited or uncontrolled legal immigration.  There must be an objective study or studies done on what and who and how many types of legal immigrations there should be that subjectivity and bias are kept out of the results as best as possible.

They have the exact laws we want here for the most part but can't get any results from our leaders.\n\nMexico can hurt and kill us there legally, but god forbid we violate their civil rights here to protect our families.

would like to correct toddcomish=the people who don't want them enforced are 1-bleeding heart liberals who need to get their own country, and leave this one, 2-democrats who want illegals to vote for which they should be jailed for voter fraud, 3-CORRUPT businesses who should be shut down and fined with jail time. Todd, we must be specific!

Not going to work. Mexico will consider us racist by say "over Mexico" it has the connotation of being superior.
