What part of "ILLEGAL" do these people fail to grasp?

Question

http://www.gazetteonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080728/NEWS/226816640

If a person wishes to immigrate to the United states in the legal manner, more power to him. If he comes here as an illegal alien, his only "right" is to be shipped back to the border and unceremoniously booted out.

Answer 1

The illegal immigrants are not the ones who are confused; they know exactly what they're doing, and the rest of us are a big joke to them.  Especially the ones who can't grasp the difference between illegal and legal.  I say set these illegals up with free housing in the Hollywood Hills.  Then we'll see who's ignorant.

Answer 2

Well, if you had you wait 10 years to cross a border legally when it is left wide open what would you do? It isn't as easy as it sounds to come here legally. All of us do ILLEGAL things.. everyday! If an illegal is just here working, not causing any trouble then leave them alone. I would rather spend more time worrying about murderers and rapists than worrying about a person who is here without a paper.

Answer 3

i just want to tell diablo that there is a huge difference between stealing a car and coming here illegaly.

so dont even try to compare those things.

Answer 4

I crack up at those that come here to Yahoo and ask their illegal questions. They have no shame!

Answer 5

The same part that millions of citizens fail to grasp. I see them every morning on my way to work.  

Answer 6

the "il" part.

Answer 7

Because they think just because something takes too long, costs money, is hard or required time they will just take the easy road and do it illegally.

If it takes me 10 years to save up for a car, I'm not going to go steal one instead. That's what criminals do.  And no, most Americans would not break the law just because something takes time, that's lame.

Answer 8

- I am always suprised by the people who think the solution to the illegal immigration problem is to say ILLEGAL very loudly. I don't think there are any illegal immigrants who are confused about the meaning of the word. Calling them criminals may make you feel better, but their numbers are close to double the record 7.2 million people were behind bars.

-  Saying ILLEGAL very loudly doesn't even adress the problem of the 3 million children of ILLEGAL aliens who were born here and are LEGAL citizens of the United States. They have every right to be here under current US law. (That is the law even if you don't agree with this law).

- It also doesn't adress the problem of whole industries that are now living on illegal immigrant labor. They desperately need a legal solution, not just wholesale deportation.

-----------------------------

Illegal immigration exists primarily because many Americans make a lot of money from it. The numbers wouldn't have grown this large otherwise.

Answer 9

Excuse me, but I didn't see the word "illegal" anywhere in the rally

It referred to raids that the goons are doing, arresting workers in a meat  processing plant. Pathetic !

These guys are spending a lot of money arresting cooks, meat workers, gardeners , carpenters, and construction workers , all to justify their salary

They should be catching criminals instead of workers

I have the feeling that your question rather fits in the languages section, but nevertheless, I think that everyone knows the meaning of the word illegal

Answer 10

The part that calls for self respect and self accountability for one's own actions.  

The part that calls for turning a blind eye to what others do as an excuse for your own poor choices.

Answer 11

Good lord, how rude, that guy is calling your parents rapists and murders, Somehow I doubt your parents murdered or raped anyone.

Typical pro crime delusional person who lack proper history knowledge.

Answer 12

they understand that illegal is illegal. they just make up excuses to try to sell people on the reasoning why illegal isn't illegal. The thing is they need new excuses because the ones they keep using are getting old and not working anymore but amazingly they continue to use them.  

Answer 13

It's not that they don't understand it,they simply don't care about things like law and morality like civilized people do.
