Illegal aliens?

Question

do you think we should give amnesty to illegal aliens that do NOT commit crimes but instead are trying to have a better future for their families ( I know that crossing the border illegally is a crime so dont include that crime) because thanks to my grand parents I'm a US citizen and I have allot of respect for the people who came here and successfully made their dreams come true.

Answer 1

yes, very soon.

Answer 2

I think its so funny that everyone 'else' thinks they got here legally...

I thank my grandparents very much too, for coming here, ILLEGALLY! They left everything behind so we all could have a better future. Why should I punish that and anyone else who wants the same thing? Who am I to say they dont belong here? This is the melting pot, that was what we wanted, right?

Someone said 'save their money and do it right and wait' well when you have the future of your family in your hands and are struggling for their next meal, you dont have time to wait. Legal or not, im sure you can agree with that.

Answer 3

no this is america not mexico if they wanna live here they shoudl speak the freaking launguage instead there making us put everything in spanish also its messed up and if they wanna live here they should live here leggaly!

Answer 4

No,they are criminals. They commit a crime simply by coming here.

Answer 5

i agree with you.

Answer 6

Why should we not include the crime of entering our country illegally?

No,amnesty should not be given to anyone that doesn't have enough respect for our country to enter legally.

Answer 7

I have zero respect for illegal aliens who took the easy route, and illegal immigrated instead of saving their money, waiting in line, staying out of trouble to pass the background check and did things the right way.

Someone who respects illegal must have super low standards unfortunately.

Answer 8

Yes i do.

Answer 9

deport them all

Answer 10

It's an unpopular opinion around here, but in GENERAL, I think we should. I think we should run background checks on everyone and they should have to pay back-taxes and possibly some sort of fines. It's certainly not a perfect solution but what else would be better? Trying to find and deport 15 million people?

I can't resist adding 2 things even though they are not totally related to the question:

1. When Grandpa, Grandma, Great Grandpa, etc. came here legally there was not anywhere near the bureaucracy and waiting time to become a resident. Let's not forget that.

2. This whole "well they came here illegally so they already broke the law" argument is getting rather old, is a circular argument, and misses the point. Just because something is a law doesn't mean it's a good law. WE CAN CHANGE THE LAW IF WE WANT. Remember, it was once "illegal" to be Jewish in Germany. (And before some of you start saying I am "comparing" the two as if they are the same, I am NOT. I am just making a point that we have to get a little deeper in this debate than "they already broke the law").

Answer 11

What part of illegal don't you understand. If someone who is here illegally wants to live and work here so bad they can go home and apply legally.

Answer 12

"Dont include that crime".    Enough said.

Everybody that pays taxes includes 'that crime'.  

Its like saying,' dont arrest the bank robber, nobody got hurt'

Answer 13

YES I DO BELIEVE ANY ILLEGAL ALIEN SHOULD RECIEVE AMNISTY. THIS IS THE LAND OF THE FREE,NO MATTER WHERE YOU CAME FROM.

Answer 14

No.  Illegal is illegal no matter what.

Answer 15

yes, i think there are many good illegal aliens out there, my friend is one, her family are imigrants, and they have not commit any crimes, the act like a normal american family, i wish we could do something to do that.

Answer 16

Yes, I agree, they need amnesty!

Answer 17

YES

Answer 18

Well, here's a better question, do you actually believe that the U.S. is going to deport around 20 million illegals anytime soon? I don't think they could track that amount of data on illegals anyway...

Answer 19

Amnesty will never happen again, and that's a good thing.

This is the land of the free, and home of the brave, that refers to Americans, not illegal invaders.

Answer 20

Every illegal alien has committed a crime, that's why they are labeled illegal duh, rewarding crime with Amnesty is never a good thing.

If illegal aliens get Amnesty, I think we should give American criminals Amnesty too, what's fair is fair.

Answer 21

NO! What a slap in the face that would be to all the legals that did it the proper and legal way!!!! I have alot of respect for people that become successful as well, but the legal way.
