Why are ILLEGAL ALIENS ABOVE THE LAW ?

I was your typical naïve college girl until I had a rude awakening one night a couple of years ago. I used to work at a cute antique consignment shop until it was robbed by a couple of Mexicans. First, these 2 guys did a smash and grab on the display cases. Then they threatened me with their baseball bats to open the cash register. After they took the jewelry and cash they bound and gagged me even though I did nothing to stop them from robbing the place. It was the most terrifying thing to happen to me. The most chilling thing was how casual they did this as if viciously robbing a person was like getting groceries. Some of these people coming over here are some of the most ruthless criminals in the world. Anyways, they got caught but they were only deported back to Mexico so I’m sure they’re back here somewhere. I quit my job at the antique shop shortly afterwards…better to be safe than sorry.\n\nBTW, I'm half Hispanic so please don't say that I'm racist!!

Deported, Illegal is the magic word here, I wonder why so many do not understand that word, ILLEGAL = not legal.

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.

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.

If they are here illegally then they should not stay. They broke the law.

I do, I had to follow them when I entered the US.  I can not understand why everyone is up in arms about enforcing a law?  That is like the cops stopping to pull over people for speeding?

I don't live in your neighborhood, but it sounds like your question is really a statement. How do u know these people are undocumented? You are accusing all the business owners in your neighborhood of being undocumented drug lords. Where I live, you have to register a business and have permits, etc. I find it highly unlikely that all of them are undocumented. If it is true, keep pestering the authorities and call your local representative. Maybe you should consider moving.

Yes, they are wonderful people. Illegal aliens are simply political and economic refrugees seeking a better life. People shouldn't hate them. No wall will ever keep them out. Their goverments have failed them. It's time they grow spines and take back their country.

The ones that are obeying the laws of the country trying to make a better future for themselves and their families are a blessing.  Those who are not abiding by the law are a hinderence the same way American criminals are.

Illegals are ILLEGAL.  Those folks came into the country illegally.  They're breaking the law by being here.  What's hard to understand about that?'

They're being babied because big business wants them as cheap labor and they pay off politicians not to uphold the law.  So, politicians look the other way when it comes to illegal aliens.\n\nThe meaning of the term "illegal alien" is a FEDERAL LAW term:\n\nThe law: US Code Title 8, Chapter 12, subchapter I section 1101 &\nsubchapter II section 1325\n\nImmigrant: an individual who has received permission to enter and\npermanently reside in the US. The written permission document issued\nby the US government to the immigrant after successfully completing\nrequired health tests, financial checks, and criminal investigations\nis called a visa.\n\n\nAlien: an individual in the US who is not a US citizen. After\nentering the US, the "immigrant" becomes an alien.\n\nIllegal alien: Anyone in the US in violation of the law. The illegal\nalien has intentionally chosen to violate the law and lacks the\nevidence VISA that they have observed all US laws in entering and\nremaining in the country.\n\nMost illegal aliens enter via the US-Mexico border, either alone or\nwith a smuggler. Other illegal aliens entered the US legally under a\nstudent, tourist or other temporary visa (promising to leave at the\nend of their "visit") and chose to remain after their visa expired.\nWhen the temporary visitor chose to "overstay" their visa, they\nbecame an illegal alien. Their original "legal" entry doesn't give\nthem upgraded status from the more common illegal border-crosser.\n\nBoth are illegal aliens, both are violating US immigration laws, and\nboth are subject to deportation.

As it stands right now,illegals are here in this country and no one knows their whereabouts or who they are,in places like Chicago some with criminal records have taken over the street gangs,they are used as shooters against other gangs and as enforcers for extortion against small buisnesses,since there is no record who or where they are the law in many cases can't find them since most will flee back to mexico for awhile till things die down,an identification would at least show who is in this country criminal or otherwise.

What part of the word "illegal" don't people understand?

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.

Although I like your question, most of those jobs go through more of a rigorous screening and background check than, say, a day laborer.  An "illegal" is just trying to make ends meet, just like the rest of us. I would welcome more people in the world with a higher education, regardless of ethnicity, or how they arrived to where they live.\nBut it is true to note that if this did happen, more politicians and upper-middle class folks would be more forceful in solving the problem. As it is now, they rather illegal immigrants do the hard work because legal employees have more rights, and expect more money, and in essence, seem lazier.
