Illegals Have A Right To Be In The US As Any Other Citizen?
915141
If they are here illegally, they should have NO rights other than to be treated in a humane manner when they are ushered out.  They need to get the hell back where they came from, and if they wish to enter our country do so legally, just like thousands do every year.  I have no sympathy for those who enter our country illegally.  I welcome those who follow our laws and enter legally, no problem with those people at all.  If someone has no compunction about entering our country illegally, what other types of illegal conduct are they going to display once here?

they can demand all they want, truth is, they're NOT American citizens! They're NOT entitled to any of the rights that this country has to offer to it's citizens. Could we go into another country, and just because we were there, and wanted to remain there, demand our rights. \nOne right however is this: break our laws and land your backside in our jails.. let's enforce that one. They're already broken the law, so lets see if we can follow through on it. \nCaught here illegal and find yourself heading back home, via free ride. Or demand that their country pay us back for the price it cost to return thier own.

No one illegal have the right to do anything, you must go the proper channels to make anything legitimate for the proper protection of the law and from the Law Example, if someone force themselves into your home, what rights as an intruder do they have, unless you give them permission! Well it works also in the larger scale of things

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?

Legal immigrants are allowed to have MOST of teh rights to which citizens are entitled.  In general, this includes ownership of property, and  the right to keep and bear arms.

What part of Illegal dont you get? Dont make me laugh just think IS THERE ANYWAY FOR THEM TO GET HERE LEGALLY? \nJust think about it pake & jerry. If you were a little bit smart there wouldn't be much your so called illegals  because they'll be here legally. Now let's see if you two have a little bit of brain to know that someone that does not have documents is called undocumented UN as of NO Comprende? Not Illegal no body is illegal in the world and nobody in this world is Alien because we all are Earthlings because we live in Earth. SO WHY IS THIS SHIT GOING ON? Just Plain BS. Close-Minded Sensenbrenner. It seems America is just not a free-country anymore at least for people that are not white.

I agree. The INS needs to start doing their job.\n\nIllegals do not have citizen's rights that are guaranteed by the constitution. They are not supposed to be here.

YOu answered your own question.\n\nNo one has the right to break our laws and to do something illegal.\n\nWithout control, any terrorist can learn Spanish and come over through Mexico. This is not a racial issue but a country taking a hard stance to enforce good laws.\n\nNoone can blame the poor Mexicans for trying to better their lives but it cannot go unchecked without damage to our country and the rest of us.

Do you mean immigrants in the USA?  \nIf they are here LEGALLY, they can apply for CITIZENSHIP. If they are here ILLEGALLY they need to go back home (their country of origin) and apply for a visa BEFORE entering the country.

Are you kidding me?  They have more rights than legal citizens.  They can get away with coming into the country illegally, skimming off of our welfare system and identity theft.  AND GET AWAY WITH IT

I agree , they have done nothing to get those rights , but break our laws . The American citizens have worked to make this country and just because someone sneaks in illegally and take free what we all work so hard for.\n We had to fight to make our country what it is today and if they want what we have then fight for their own country . It's easy to go to another country that has what you want , but it's hard to stand up and fight for freedom in your own country . Make your country better , we have enough problems here .\nIf you work and save for things and someone breaks into your home and starts living with you and taking your things , what would you say ?

NO not on legal citizens under our constitutional rights! But i would except it for say illegal Aliens and immigrants!Prefer throwing them out by force if necessary!

No, they should not be afforded the same rights. I was part of an interview recently where a gentleman who was in the country illegally said he was tired of being treated like a second class citizen. So I simply told him he wasn't EVEN a second class citizen, because he wasn't a citizen. End of discussion for me. Now, does that mean to treat him like crap? No. But should he get welfare for his children and 10 others living in his home because he's making less than minimum wage? No to that also. Because he's not a citizen. \nPeriod.

The key word here is ILLEGAL, that makes it simple ship them back to where ever they came from.  If they want to be here legally and are willing to do what every other American citizen has to do, like pay taxes, then they can come in and serve just like everyone else.

You seem to be under the misapprehension that illegal immigrants get all that stuff legally.  In most cases, they are breaking the law to do so.  So, as an American citizen, you have just as much right as illegal immigrants to commit welfare and insurance fraud, and just as much right to take up room in prison when you do so.
