Why do Americans have such a problem with the "crime" of illegal immigration yet......?

they are complacent about the crime of murder? Some of the things I see on TV, hear on the radio, read in the newspaper & hear in this forum indicate that Americans see the "crime" of stepping over an invisible, man-made line in the sand to find a better life for one's family is just as serious as the crime of murder committed by an American citizen. Why do we complain about our tax dollars going to pay for Jose's kid to go to school but we are fine with spending our tax dollars to support a merciless child-killer sitting on death row for 20 years while exhausting the appeals process? Where are our priorities? Just for the record, many illegals DO pay taxes through a valid SSN they obtained upon legal entry into the country. They continue to pay taxes even after their visa expires & they become "illegal" yet they can never receive social security, welfare, medicaid, medicare, unemployment or any other government subsidized program. Many pay through tax id #'s.

Answer:
people need to check their facts first rather than stating their personal opinion,,,if u check the facts,, it will show u that more middle aged black men and white men are in jail for the most heinous crimes,,, u are correct in saying for most Mexicans the only crime they commit is crossing the white mans border, that is not EQUAL to raping children, or murdering people,, i have half the nerve to get ip addresses for all the people who said they wanted to shoot Mexicans and have their @sses arrested for conspiracy,,, I'm not saying that there aren't Mexicans who rape, sell drugs or commit murder, because there are, also there are plenty of Mexican gangs, BUT they do not make up the majority of criminals,, every race has good and bad but Americans fail to realize that Americans have flaws,,, funny cuz on the registry for sex offenders i saw all middle aged white men,, and maybe 3 Mexicans,,,and i looked at over 1000 photos,,Americans are just looking for someone to blame, they don't want to point their fingers at themselves,, its not convenient for them,, America has problems because of Americans that's it,, stop blaming the new wave of immigrants for ur problems that were here long b4 Mexicans flooded in,, u blamed the Indians too, u blamed black people too,, u blamed Irish people Italians too,, soon enough if will be someone Else's turn,,, because god knows u wont blame ur self....
So you are totally in favor of your tax dollars supporting "people' who are here ILLEGALLY-check out the meaning of illegal- it means UNAUTHORIZED. I for one have no desire to shoot anyone- however I do have the desire to see those who are here illegally become legal- or go home to your own country. The judicial system was built on fact not fiction and therefore those convicted of crimes have the RIGHT to appeal their case.
so, are you saying illegals should have the Right to appeal since they are here illegally? Kind of a double edged sword. You may not like my answer- but you asked the question and you just got my OPINION.
"So I guess my official question is....how can we justify desires to kill anyone we see who fits the profile as an "illegal" and use as our excuse that they are criminals?"

There is no Justification for murder, and of course illegal migration should not be punished by Death Penalty. Punishment should match Crime (kinda like this in constitution).

Murder of illegals is a hate speach and bring us back to lynching times.
well then why don't all you people who continually blame the Americans or white people take up the slack and pay the taxes for all those illegals and there would be no need to blame anyone. but of course you don't want to do the right thing and pay taxes like all Americans no matter what race, so when the illegals step up to the plate and pay the taxes like all of us other Americans, then they can call themselves Americans, but of course all you mexicans don't want that part of being a US citizen. you just want to be left alone as in not paying taxes like we all have to. and everyone has a problem with murder but as the ACLU, NAACP, these murdering idiots have rights, even tho they just took that person they murdered rights away. but who cares about that, don't kill that murderer, he has rights. as all those people who march to save a child murderer from being killed for what he did. it doesn't make sense but what does here in America these days. its all the rich people who demonstrate to save a murderers life. when americans wake up and people quit forgiving murderers for what they have done and let them rot in hell. thats why nobody cares because you cant win anyway. too many stupid americans here no matter what color they are.
how about you set up a tent at the border so you can kiss their *** as they cross illegaly into america
Pamela,, please ! You have the same old rhetoric in every question you post. Taxes, their legal ( NOT !!!!) SSNs.... the ole " line in the sand" and not receiving welfare???? Good grief !!!Surely, you jest !!!! " Complacent about the crime of murder" .... where in the world did you conjure that one up??? Where are your stats on American complacency? Once again, this is nothing but your opinion that really has no fact basis other than what you watch on TV. Give it a rest already until you can find something a bit more stimulating.... and fact based. Reread O. Lakota responses ... she is living this quagmire . Are you???? That's exactly what I thought.
