Why do people think illegal immigrants intentionally violated the law?
Who is everyone else?
The fact of the matter is that if illegal immigrants had accessible channels to come here legally initally, they all would have come legally. Unfortunately, there are no legal channels available for those that are poor and lack a formal education, so they come illegally because there is a demand for their labor in the many sectors of the U.S. economy.
The point is, most of your dreaded illegals want reform, because they know there was no option for them prior to entering the country illegally to work in the many industries that are dependent upon this labor.
HYPOCRISY HYPOCRISY HYPOCRISY
Thousdands of U.S. households have an illegal "cleaning lady" or "babysitter" "nanny" -- Just yesterday, I went to the movies and there was a mexican lady with like ten white kids...
Answer:
Because they did intentionally violated the law, unless they were too drunk to notice.
Illegals want reform alright...us to assimilate to them. It ain't happening! God bless America!
Maybe the part where they head out with their jugs of water and the coyotes tell them the best way not to get caught. Are you saying the illegals are too stupid to know they are breaking the law?
They know..
I became a US citizen legally. Wasn't that hard.
Clearly, they know they are violating our laws. They made the CHOICE to pack up and stroll across the border. Thus, they INTENTIONALLY violated the law.
If they wanted to get here, they should have started the paperwork and lobbied for change from their home country.
You don't KNOW that a "mexican" lady is illegal. To assume as much makes you worse than those you think are so hypocritical.
If there are no legal channels, then they shouldn't come. If they came anyway, they intentionally violated the law. It's that simple. If the parents of the 10 white kids violated the law, the they should be punished, too. If they're not willing to pay a sitter what she's worth, then one of the parents needs to stay home. The people with illegal cleaning ladies and babysitters are guilty and should be punished. Let them pay their help legitimate wages and for legitimate help.
Some of them just want a better life, and USA is the best way for them to acquire opportunities.
I don't have a "cleaning lady", babysitter", or a "nanny"...
Most paid smugglers.
A little common sense goes a long way.
I really don't believe working a job, any job for a couple of years should have any bearing on gaining citizenship.
Come on, marching in OUR streets demanding we change OUR laws??
What the ??
Besides we DO NOT NED REFORM!
ENFORCE THE LAWS WE ALREADY HAVE!
The only demand is for their cheap labor. I think they should go back and apply for citizenship legally. We would have a better economy if they werent willing to work so cheap. its not that americans dont want the jobs that they do its just that americans wont work for that cheap. If they dont know that they are violating the law then why do they "sneak" across the border and try top stay hidden? DUH! In reality we are not getting the upper hand by them doing cheap labor because the to make up for the money that they dont earn they just get it from our welfare system. Of course the mexican government doesnt mind them coming to work here because they send money to mexico. so we are basicly supporting Mexico too.
Well, we didn't make them sneak over here, so I'm pretty sure the definition is 'intentional'. Take this into perspective. If someone forced their way into your home unwanted, and you had to pay all the bills, you wouldn't be too happy with that person. Would you?
It's not a matter of thinking they violated a law. It is fact. Pretty simple really.
"Unfortunately, there are no legal channels available for those that are poor and lack a formal education, so they come illegally ". Tell that to all the poor and uneducated that did come here legally. Talk about hyprocrisy.
See ya!
if you believe in evolution then you should realize that every starving, abused Mexican we let into America allows the criminal Mexican gov't to enslave, impoverish and defraud the mexican people. as long as the miserable starving masses come to America there will never be a revolution in Mexico. if the miserable people had to stay in Mexico they would rebel- the Mexican gov't would transfer $billions to Switzerland but the mexicans would be free from their chains of poverty and ignorance- AND the PEOPLE OF MEXICO could sue the ex-politicials and Swiss Banks (like the German Jews did the Nazi Swiss bank accounts) and get their stolen $$$ back.
Did they just sleep-walk there way in?
Did they trip and go OH-S***, I'm in the US, I'll just stay?
They DID violate the law, just as almost everyone does every day when they speed.
We have the right, as a nation to close our borders to immigration COMPLETELY if we want. There is a legal way to get here. It is not hypocrisy to want the laws enforced. Or to have them changed.
They had an option. Stay where they were. Or go back.
Personally, I'd like to see more immigration legally, but based in EDUCATION and SKILLS. Not a rush to let in every poor person who wants to make this country into Mexico or some other country and has their hand out for all my money.
To answer your question sputnik they knew it was illegal to come without a visa and they did it anyway. How much simpler can we make it for ya.
Because they did intentionally violate the law. They were not abducted and brought across the border against their will. They knowingly and willingly broke US law. There are legal channels for immigration. If they are poor and lack education it is MEXICO'S fault, not ours! It Should not become our problem either! Yes the illegals want reform because it is a free ticket to ride with everything given to them. There are NO industries dependant on the cheap labor, only industries whose GREED makes them demand cheap labor. The persons in the thousands of households employing illegals should be arrested and punished also. Breaking the law is breaking the law.
10 MILLIONS!!IN TEN YEARS WILL BE 100MILLION BECAUSE WE MULTIPLY BY TEN!WITHE PEOPLE WATCH OUT!TO ALL RACIST YOU KIDS MIGHT END UP GETTING MARRIED TO A BEANNER THAT SHOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY!!THAT'S RIGHT I AM A BEANER!!!
What have they done? Closed hospitals, used forgery and fraud, sucked the life out of assistance programs, lowered the wages, taken jobs illegally, raped, plundered and pillaged. Yes, you're right They're basically innocent of all of these charges. Talk about comprehension problems, I don't and never have had a nanny, a gardener or a vegetable picker, we did it ourselves! Wake up, talk about hypocrisy!
That's what I stress all the time, that they don't come here with the intentions to break the law and be illegal. If nothing works, they will do what is "NECESSARY" to come here and work and live, to feed their children (if they have) and themselves.
It was never an "illegal" immigrants fault when coming here. It was their government who failed them and won't help, and good countries like the US who attracts most in the world of it's freedom.
You may find this as difficult to believe as I do, but WE AGREE ON SOMETHING!! You are absolutely right on this one! I have know so many "rich" people who employ "illegals", and they are still yelling about getting this "element" out of the US---as well as the many middle and lower class folks who somehow believe that these immigrants are taking their jobs.
I have long thought that it was a shame that we have so many jobs available for so many people who want them and will hard at them, but that the only way they can get here to work at them is to "break a law". (If Native Americans had had the same sort of "immigration laws" we would not be the nation that we are!....{that's a joke})
I may be a "Liberal puke", but I am with you on this one!!
