Does being pro-illegal make you anti American????
Answer:
No, not at all. America is based on freedom, justice, and liberty, so why not help those that are trying to find a better life? Isn't this the land of the free? What about those that wish to be free and the people in the land don't let them?Many illegals do pay taxes. Many Americans don't understand because they have always lived the life that illegals would like to live. It sickens me how they can be described as criminals when all they want to do is work and support their families. I mean, they don't have to stay illegal, that is why people should support the reform and help them out. THAT would be being American.
No..
"Pro-illegal" is really a meaningless term. Other than saying someone is opposed all laws.
The issues being debated are really about how much undocumented aliens should be punished for breaking immigration laws. Should they be deported? Imprisoned? Fined? Let off the hook?
Nobody (rationally) is in favor of ignoring all laws. But if choosing to ignore certain laws because you disagree with them makes you un-American, then what does that say for the current Executive Branch, given the number of federal laws they've chosen to ignore and/or violate?
I will start off by saying that I am a conservative Republican. Next I will say that being pro-illegal does not make you anti-American, it just makes you wrong. It is not anti-American to hold any political belief except one that would be considered treasonous. I will say that allowing illegal aliens to frequent the country as they please is only going to hurt our country in the long run, including our security and economy. I have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and unrestricted illegal immigration is threatening to rob me of all three through the inevitable possibility that terrorists will make their way here across the boarder.
Well, in a way, no, because it's welcoming new Americans to the country.
But in a way, yes, because in the long run, illegal immigration has a negative effect on America.
But that doesn't even make you ANTI American, so I would say, no.
It depends I a few factors:
-Do you like having your job?
-Do you like the US having the #1 economy in the world?
-Do you not want India & China to take over as the #1 economies in the world from the US?
-Do you think lazy unemployed Americans should work the jobs that the illegal immigrants take?
-Do you like paying less for products sold in the US because of cheap illegal immigrant labor costs?
If you want to see hundreds of billions of dollars leave the US economy by kicking out all the illegals be my guest. But don't come crying to me when the US economy tanks because of that action & you no longer have a job.
no u r not anti american..
the mean ... of being american is the freedom to have opinion of anything....
the freedom to choose...
choose to burn your flag...because you can..
and that's what you celebrate...!
No... Just Because You Want To Break The Law And Go Against Everything That America Stands For (Land Of The Free, Home Of The Brave) Doesn't Make You Anti-American...
of course it doesnt, the diversity of america makes the country more special. not too many other nations can boast that.
EDIT:
also to all of the ppl above me are against illegal immigration. why dont you do something about it? instead of building a big fence. why dont you help the mexican government out a bit, that way the the people that plan on immigrating here have good paying jobs.
Neo-libiterian: the name says it all. think about what you are saying. the economy would be crippled without illegal immigrants. and i dont think that we have the best one in the world too. that would be china, the have a surplus that is in the trillions. we are in debt, which isnt a good thing.
response: to me it is the US's duty to help less fortunate nations. the US is a well established nation, we all know that. so to me the nations that have already reached such a high status, should help other nations on their way.
What do you meant by pro illegal? Do you mean open borders? Do you mean controlled borders with a path to legal status for the people already here? There are a lot of people who ask questions like this without saying what they are talking about. You obviously have it defined in your own mind but you can't assume that others define it the same way.
Of course not Einstein. All of our of ancestors came from a foreign land. Except the Natives. Today, we can no longer tolerate any more illegal aliens.
I can't say that pro-illegal makes you anti American...but I could say that it does place you in to the category of aiding a criminal. I know that the law makers like to say...that most illegal immigrants are here to work and make money (which is true) and that a great majority of them don't want to break our laws (which is untrue, because if you are here illegally, you have already committed a felony), in most cases the felonies don't stop there, now they have to do whatever it takes to stay here illegally, which usually leads to a long list of crimes including but not limited to: ID fraud, ID theft, banking fraud, tax fraud, etc... So if you were to call a person who supports and participates in criminal activity anti American, then yeah, you could say a pro-illegal would be anti American.
yes off course
If America is your country and you are patriotic to your motherland, then supporting the illegal issues which go against the interest of your country and people would definitely be treason to your nation and a role of Anti American.
But if you are not an American, then supporting the illegal immigrants (from anywhere in the world) is your moral responsibility so that some other people also get some share of the ‘American Beauty’ and happiness.
yes
Being pro-illegal makes you a traitor. So George Bush, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Rudy Guiliani, Lindsey Graham, and all the Democrats who are running for president are traitors to their country, and traitors to Western Civilization. Anyone who puts the interests of illegal aliens over those of his own country is a traitor, someone who behaves disloyally to his country.
I assure you it is not in America's best interest to allow 12 to 20 million aliens who are in this country illegally, and who have committed felonies by using phoney ID on a "path to citizenship." Most of these aliens come from inferior cultures where corruption is rampant throughout their society. They cannot speak English and they have no interest in learning English and assimilating into our society.
Never in the history of America have so many immigrants from third-world nations entered this country both legally and illegally. It is utterly impossible to assimilate 20 to 100 million people who will be coming into our country over the next 20 years through chain immigration, legal immigration, and continued illegal immigration if the traitors in our White House and Congress pass the Kennedy/McCain Amnest Bill.
You can go to http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home... to contact the White House and your Congresspersons to demand that they not give amnesty to illegal aliens. If you don't act, these traitors will screw the American people and allow up to 100 million immigrants to become US citizens in the next 20 to 25 years. Go to numbersusa.com to see the source of my stats.
The only candidates for President who are acceptable to patriotic US citizens are Duncan Hunter, Ron Paul, and Tom Tancredo. All of the Dems favor "Comprehensice Immigration Reform" which is a code phrase for amnesty for all illegal aliens.
If you mean pro illegal alien the answer is Yes! Think about it, you are backing foriegners who broke our laws to come here, then had ugly babies who automaticaly are legal ? Screw that. Look after your own people first the others look out for each other and screw us without a thought. How bout we all get together and scare them back to where they came from. If we americans stand together no one can stand against us. Americans are the best in the world. So lets keep America for the real Americans. And to the homo punk that wants to burn an American flag, try burning it around me and you'll find out that's something you can't do.
Yes, whether a person realizes it or not. Being for anything that is hurting our country and citizens is anti-American. I wonder which other laws these people disagree with, or if they think all of them should be strictly enforced (on citizens only?) except immigration laws. The rest of us shouldn't have to pay for their pet projects. They should be double taxed for supporting this invasion. I also think they should be punished according to the law if they break (or help others break) our immigration laws.
One thing I find really strange is this: While I do understand why some people support illegal aliens, I don't understand at all why these people feel that illegals should also be exempt from some of our other laws. You know, like ID theft or similar laws, the ones the poor babies just have to break in order to support their families. What about our families? They don't seem to matter nearly as much to the pro-illegals, who often put down their own fellow citizens in their haste to support illegals. That's anti-American.

In a way yes. Its about respect, respect for our country and its laws. These people are not unknowingly breaking the law, they are openly breaking our immigration laws. They can try to tell us all they want, that they didn't know they were breaking laws, buy if they knew enough to buy or steal or use fake IDs and SS cards, they knew all to well they were breaking laws.
Yes, it does! It means that you put another country ahead of the well being of the US. Pro-illegal means that the people who are coming into the US are not proving that they are going to add positive abilities to the US. They are also not showing the simple fact that they are healthy and wont make the US sick. Hepatitis and TB have increased many times over because of the illegal aliens that come to the US. The big difference between those that came here between 50 to 100 years ago is the fact that they came here LEGALLY. The illegal aliens don't care what laws they break...even ID theft.
No but it sure makes you unpopular. (in places other than y answers)
YES!
there is no one answer for that I pay my taxes and I can see as well as anyone else illegals are getting credit cards buying houses riding around in hummers SUV"s if you go to your local social services or welfare offices you will notice it if you haven"t already and why not if you can come to this country ILLEGALLY and get anything you want more than the average American who works their whole life and still can"t afford it oh by the way they do not need an American ID I kind of feel sorry for them they are being catered to because that is where the money is what happens when it is all gone they came to this country illegally and they are living the high life they never even worked their way up if a country offered you that kind of life would you not take it maybe the American people better wake up instead of watching TV pretending everything is just a movie but only in America can you live the high life one day and no life the next
I suppose not ,but it borders for me. Not so much for having compassion for some people, but that they would even want such people as the outspoken American haters here at all.
Why would you want people here that are determined to cause more problems with an agenda that seperates people more, shamelessly abuses the systems we have, and are determined not to assimilate into this culture or even their own towns? I have seen very few who want to be a part of a town. They come to take over the town. It seems everyone has a soft spot maybe for a nice family here and there. Unfortunatly there are alot more not so nice ones that concern me. They wouldn't pass for any legal immigrant screening and I'm wondering why this "open arms" attitude for way too many serious criminals? That to me is anti-American.
Alliyah shouldnt you be playing with your barbies instead of answering questions you know nothing about? Its sad to see how so many citizens betray this country,ingreats just looking for a buck at any expence.It is a sad time when our kids are all fighting in Iraq while the very people they fight for freedoms for can want crimminals in this country,sad,sad,sad...
NO! Massive deportation hurts America, we are helping people ( a common American trait ) and helping our economy too by supporting illegal immigrants in their dream to feed their families. Have a Nice day!
I think it is not appropriate to call someone "un-American" if they are "pro-illegal." The two terms have nothing to do with each other. However I strongly feel that the pro-illegals are TOTALLY WRONG!
I don't understand why people are pro-illegal becasue of the disctruction that the illegal alien criminals do to our economy and system. Our education system is in a shambles becasue teachers can't teach! Our health care system is horrible with all the ERs closing becasue they can't afford to stay open, die to the costs of taking care of the illegal alien criminals.
In spite of what some have claimed, the illegal alien criminals DO NOT PAY TAXES!!!!! Whenever they claim they do, they are liars!!!! An illegal alien does not have a valid SS#. Without this number, they can't pay taxes or file a return. Even if a return was filed, they would get all their withholding back PLUS an earned income tax credit (AKA free money from the taxpayer).
Disease, drugs and crime follow the illegal alien criminal into the US. Wages are lowered. Identites and jobs are stolen from citizens.
We don't need the illegal alien criminal! May 1, 2006 proved this point when they had their "day without an immigrant" protest. This was suppose to cripple our economy. It was just the oppisite! Teachers were able to teach their children. Businesses continued as normal. Even the freeways were clear!
ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMINALS - GO HOME!!!
How do you think that you can be pro-illegal and call yourself and American. Wake up, we are being invaded BY LAW BREAKERS, and our country is turning into a "turd world" nation. If you are pro-illegal, you are ANTI -AMERICAN.
Yes, sort of...you can also be pro-immigration, but not pro-illegal.
Guess, what, that makes YOU anti-American.
Having the idea that anyone who doesn't agree with you is anti-American is itself anti-American.
It is perfectly consistent with being a true American to also be a true Human Being.
Not sure what you mean by pro-illegal -- attacking the people who come here for jobs, but not doing anything about the people who give them those jobs is just stupid and unfair.
The illegals are the people at the bottom of the heap, the least powerful among us.
The people who profit from their labor (who are also breaking the law) are the ones who could stop it all.
But they own the government, so the government loves it when we're all hating each other, while they walk off with all the money and power.
yes it does
