How is it possible that undocumented workers (unbelievably generous title) are not criminals?
Isn't someone considered a criminal once they break a law...?
Answer:
They are criminals the minute they cross our border illegally...deport them all!!
They are absolutely criminals. i guess our government and state Governments are afraid of something like growing a spine.
They are criminals. Deport them all.
they know how to hide... that and it is hard to tell some apart because they all look the same, most likely using someone else id's
they are it's called criminal trespassing
Illegal immigrants are not criminals, they are part of the wealth of this country. It is because they recognize their value that they demand rights.
Didn't you know that Lincoln did not abolish slavery - he legalized it.
Illegal immigrants are welcomed legal slaves. This is an international reality, e.g. the Arabs in France. Where are the citizens that are willing to do the dirty work and hard labor of a country for less than the minimum wage, no benefits and no rights?
Do you really think that the current empire of the world cannot protect it's borders with Mexico? It is economically covenient to let some illegal immigrants come in while looking the other way.
Besides, what generation of immigrant are you?
I say, document them. If they commit a crime the authorities can identify the person and hold them accountable.
Because they ARE Criminals! The people who are pushing for amnesty are also. They are denying our countries sovereignty by trying to shove this through!
i'm definetly for controlling the borders,but I do not consider the illegals criminals..i'd put them in some other category...a criminal to me is a murderer,thief,rapist,etc.
they are someone who likes breaks the speed limit...
if I was derpearate for myself and my family,i'd probably do the same...guess you gotta put yourself in their shoes.
You are considered a criminal if you run a red light, so, illegals are AUTOMATICALLY criminals when they cross the border.
Of course, you will have some tree hugger "with a heart" wanting ALL of us to pay extra taxes to support criminals who shouldn't be here in the first place.
They are absolutely criminals.. they are violating the security of this country.. they are violating the security of me, my family and my fellow citizens... they are breaking one of our most important laws... but unfortunately I don't think our Government is looking at it that way... and I think this summer they will pass a law and give the illegals what they want- it will be a slap in the face to all Americans, and everyone who has ever fought for, and/or died for the security of our Country...
They are criminals. I am sick of the way the press and other groups play them up to be some kind of heros breaking out of their horrible poverty and other bullsh*t! If we pulled that in any other country, we would be arrested and deported!
Evidently, if your name is Juan Huzario and our shameless political whores want your vote, it doesn't count as a criminal act. Go figure.
They're criminals but the folks that brought us affirmative action, protected class and demographic hiring laws are still shoving the excuse that minorities can't support themselves without help down our throats. It's a slap in the face for all American citizens no matter what their race; too bad more don't realize it.
Some say that it is OK if your family is hungry or you're poor to break the law. I can't and won't agree with that. How would these people feel if th next time I'm hungry I'll just break into these folks house and steal from them; hey, it's alright cause I'm hungry, right?
They are criminals. Their are those in Washington that want to change that, but I don't think they will be able to and they know that. They just claim to want to help so that they can capitilze on the hispanic vote. When the elections are over, they will come back to their senses. When they money requests to make it all posible are put before the government, they will all head for the hills.
They are criminals because they're poor, brown people.
If Norway, Sweden or Denmark were bordering the US in the south instead of Mexico, everyone would be welcoming "their southern neighbors in their time of need" with open arms.
they are not because god says in the bible that this is not our land we are borrowing it therefor we share it so they are not illegal
I look at them like a thief who enters into my house then says but the door was unlocked.
Yes, I completely agree. In fact I think we need to just say "screw it" and take over Mexico. Then WALAH! No more illegals! They'd pay taxes and so forth.
Hey did you know that revenue sent from America to Mexico annually beats there tourism revenue?! Yep, but a cool couple hundred million in fact.
Look it up! It's true!
Is someone considered a criminal when they abuse their ducted taped to a wall (kids) as known to be a common reality amongst 'Rednecks, and GQ' wanna bees?
Or when they plot to inherit from parents or spouses?
already are schools are giving way because they want to be sneaky and force them selves om us.
Ok, to begin with the legal definition as printed in the federal statutes is illegal alien. It is a common mistaken reference to label them as undocumented workers, undocumented aliens or undocumented immigrants. A wise man once said, "referring to an illegal alien as an undocumented immigrant is like referring to a drug dealer as an unlicensed pharmacist."
Having gotten that out of my system, yes, they are criminals. Title 8, United States Code, Section 1325a (8 USC 1325) criminalizes the illegal entry of any non-citizen by crossing the border without inspection or by misrepresentation of fact. (For example, entering as a student or visitor for pleasure and intending to stay beyond the periord for which the person was admitted.)
If accepted for prosecution, the first time an individual is charged for this offense it is classified as a misdemeanor crime. Subsequent offenses are classed as felonies. If a person is removed (deported) then returning illegally is a violation of 8 USC 1326 and this is a felony charge.
Now, keeping that in mind, there are far too many people arrested to prosecute everyone. There just are not enough judges, jail space, lawyers and support systems in place to handle a case load of that magnitude. Despite this, the U.S. Border Patrol has proven in select sectors that 100% prosecution is a viable deterrent strategy. (Del Rio, Texas prosecutes everyone.)
I have included 8 USC 1325 below. Subsection (a) refers to criminal penalties and subsection (b) to civil penalties.
§ 1325. Improper entry by alien
(a) Improper time or place; avoidance of examination or inspection; misrepresentation and concealment of facts
Any alien who
(1) enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, or
(2) eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers, or
(3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact, shall, for the first commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined under title 18, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both.
(b) Improper time or place; civil penalties
Any alien who is apprehended while entering (or attempting to enter) the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty of—
(1) at least $50 and not more than $250 for each such entry (or attempted entry); or
(2) twice the amount specified in paragraph (1) in the case of an alien who has been previously subject to a civil penalty under this subsection.
Civil penalties under this subsection are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any criminal or other civil penalties that may be imposed.
(c) Marriage fraud
Any individual who knowingly enters into a marriage for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws shall be imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or fined not more than $250,000, or both.
(d) Immigration-related entrepreneurship fraud
Any individual who knowingly establishes a commercial enterprise for the purpose of evading any provision of the immigration laws shall be imprisoned for not more than 5 years, fined in accordance with title 18, or both.
Just another wacky, deceitful title the liberals made up to avoid reality!
If you enter any other country illegally it sure is a criminal act and you will be jailed and punished.
Only in America...
Yeah we have so many criminals in this country.Take Paris Hilton..When has the media dubed her a criminal? She has broken the law several times, and yet people are crying because she is actually going to prison.Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket? Then your a criminal too.I am one as well, because I have also gotten a speeding ticket.
I guess you will miss my point.NOT everything is black and white, but rather shades of grey.If I murder someone, that is a black and white issue.If I speed, am I really a criminal???
This nothing more than a loaded question in an attepmt to bring out racist remaks and stupidity.some of your answers are proof of that and perhaps even you.
It isn't possible. They are criminals
