Do you think it is right for illegals to come to the U.S.A. without a passport?

No, I dont think itsa right, I'm Irish and just recently moved to the U.S and I had to get my green card and it cost me quite a lot of cash, I dont see why some ppl should have to go through all that then others that are breaking the law and yet are rewarded

You are absolutely correct. It is a privilege to enter this great land of ours. Even illegals know this or they wouldn't hide the fact that they are illegal. \n\nBecause America is synonymous with freedom,(and freedom is pretty much desired by all humans) there is a natural tendency to think that one would have a right to enter unabated. This however is not the case. Freedom is dangerous with out the rule of law.   \nBecause America has some of the most liberal immigration laws of any nation already, I believe people think that passing legally into America is just some sort of formality. Little do they understand that this is a sovereign nation and although the declaration of independence was written by Americans it was written for the world. A decree stating quite matter of factly we are ONE nation.

Honestly, I don't think to many Americans hold passports....Most Americans don't travel abroad....We just like to travel here domestically, we have so many wonderful places to visit in our own country, why travel abroad.....?  I do have a passport and enjoy traveling abroad...

Yes, U.S. citizens don't need a visa as we are neighbours but anyone else in the world is required to have a visa or passport.

No.  They are breaking several law potentially. \n1. no proper documentation\n2. those who purchace fraudulent documents are guilty of fraud\n3. Those that cross the border are guilty of trespassing by crossing private property\n4. those that hire guides to get them in this country are guilty of conspiracy\n\nCriminals should prosper from their crime

you definitely need both to get back in ( a passport if you are a US citizen, green card & passport(from your country of origin) if you are not)\nI guess it should be fine for you to exit the country with just you passport since there are not really any checks when exiting (except maybe some random ones) but it would be a lot safer to have both...

Any one in America supporting ILLEGALS shouldn't even have a right to citizenship.  I feel all government officials at all levels should be removed from office if they support law breakers.  Giving my tax dollars to criminals should be punishible by death.  It is bad enough I our tax dollars go to the scum here, much less be given to scum of another country.  If they weren't scum then they would come over legal.  They have enough money to pay a coyote then they have enough to pay for the legal process of becoming a citizen.  Any one who disagrees with that should be ousted from office and our country.  I am tired of hearing it is ok to break laws if your a minority looking for a better life.  If I were to break into someones house steal all their stuff, then go down to the bank and rob it..  I am only doing it to better my life and that of my family.  Do I also get a pass?  NO..  If I decide my life would be better if I rapped women across the country..  Would I get a pass on that..  Say I didn't like my neighbor because he made my life miserable, and I kill him..  Shouldn't I also get a pass for that..  It improved my life..  According to most idiots in our country I should and that those affected by the laws broken do no matter.  It is amazing that AMERICANS don't matter in AMERICA any longer.  Yes he should be ousted and all who believe his policy..

what are you saying ? first of all nobody is allowed to make a copy of your passport without legal authorization ? and why do you not have your passport with you ? \ni do not understand your request ?

Absolutely not.  However, I am considered an unsympathetic party so maybe I shouldn't have an opinion. To take this question a step further should they be able to really have the opportunity to go to our schools?  Our healthcare?  Our tax payers dollars when they are here illegally?  Not to say I hate them or anything of the sort especially since I am related by marriage to some.  Seriously though since when should my dollars go to them in any form.

Yes, resoundingly YES!  Not that I think it should be like a "witch hunt," but when they pull people over for any kind of traffic infractions, I think they should ALWAYS ask for proof of citizenship or legal residency, legal drivers' license, and proper insurance.  If, in the course of their duties, they find illegal immigrants, they should hold them and call INS for deportation.  This should be STANDARD procedure for ALL police in the USA.

The U.S. has always welcomed "legal" immigrants.\nSo, we should quit giving illegals salaries, insurance,\nhousing, jobs, etc. so they'll quit sneaking over illegally.\nThen if they want to come here bad enough, they can come\nlegally like so many others have had to do.  SOunds fair?

I think they should be sent back and come back here LEGALLY.. it's not that hard... unless you are a criminal. Then you don't belong here anyways.

Tell them to contact the U.S. Embassy in the local area they're in now. That is partly why the U.S. maintains embassies around the world. To help out U.S. citizens who need help in other countries. If they really are Americans they don't need you to buy a ticket for them. They might have to repay the government for the ticket on return to the States but what to they expect, a free ride? Besides, you'd have to buy the ticket in your name and on your passport. When they get to the U.S.A. and go through customs, they are going to need a passport. Without one they don't enter the country and guess who's going to get questioned by customs about the ticket used?

Legal immigrants should have all the rights of a natural born citizen. Illegal immigrants should not.Think of it this way. The immigration office that an immigrant goes to when they first come here is like a military issue facility. They get issued their green card, their other papers, and their rights. People who bypass that facility, get none of these.

I don't think we should be against immigrants. Instead, I think we should be against people who willingly break the law and expect laws to be changed, even though those same laws were created to be fair to everyone wanting citizenship.\n\nThe United States, as it stands today, is a land of opportunity for anyone who wants to come here. However, in order to keep our system running we need to have guidelines and boundaries which keep it functioning. When an individual wants to come here and contribute to this country and/or provide a better place for themselves and their families then by all rights they should be allowed to do so. However, an imigrant needs to know about the country, be faithful to it, understand the language, and be willing to carry his or her own weight and make a way for themselves. The existing citizens must continue to carry our own weight, enforce the righteous and moral laws we have, and help the LEGAL immigrant as partner citizens and friends.

I have no problem with immigrants from Latin America who come to this country legally.  At the same time, I also believe that the process of legal immigration is a royal pain in the @$$ that is mired in government red tape, so the process of legal immigration needs to be simplified.  There's nothing wrong with anyone from any country wanting to come to the U.S. to have a better life, but there is something very wrong with a person who sneaks into the U.S. and expects the same rights and privileges that American citizens enjoy.  So yes, we should take measures to keep illegal immigrants out but we should also take measures to make legal immigration easier and faster.

Wow No I would not consider it correct. I know people in this situation they came here from other parts of central America on their own at the risk of losing everything they own and their family.some of their friends lost their lives. All because of a need,whether it be because of poverty,abuse, lack of family or what ever It's the minors that suffer more. If they make it here they should be considered for amnesty.
