Why should be (USA) tolerate a single illegal in this country

Question

when we literally have hundreds of thousands of people wating for their chance to immigrate here legally?

Think about it, who's likely to be more beneficial to our Country and economy. Someone who breaks the laws and sneaks into the country without permission and then has to live under the radar or someone who's already demonstrated a willingness and ability to obey our laws by applying for and waiting for permission to enter this country.

This country benefits more from legal immigration than it ever will from illegal immigration.

Answer 1

We shouldn't!!! Not a d**n one. I don't care what people say they do for the economy. I am by no means rich, in fact most months we struggle to pay the bills, but I would be more than willing to give up a few things to pay higher prices b/c we no longer have illegals doing cheap work. That fence they are building at the border...it should cover the ENTIRE border of the US and should be an electric fence.

Answer 2

because there is a lot of Americans who want the undocumented immigrants in the USA and because they are very important for many sectors of the economy , for example when it comes to food they are responsible for 60 percent of what all the Americans eat . u should also know about the 19 of the 25 biggest cities which are losing population , many of them are being unable to replace those workers and Tax payers , the undocumented have created an 10 surplus for the IRS so there u go . also when people move out it is usually the poorest who move out so therefor the cities are left with out people who want to do menial work , the rich move later once they have to pay a lot more Taxes once there is nobody else but them and the city still have needs . by the way the legal immigrants u speak about are filling the place being left by the baby boomers , the undocumented the place being left by the poor who leave the cities .

EDIT : i would like to point out than the US border agents have crossed into Mexico many times too and than in fact when they were making the wall the USA built 10 miles inside Mexico which they later had to take down at the expense of the Americans .

EDIT : why are u asking then !? your obviously not interested in anything logic .

Answer 3

Because we're told to do so.  If you are not tolerant you are a racist, or so we're told.  Haven't you seen what happens when you defend your life or property against an illegal?  I can't find anything on the web anymore, but there was a huge issue down in TX.  2 illegal aliens crossed the boarder and ran through a man's property.  He went out to see what was going on and found 2 trespassers and held them at gun point (shotgun) until the law came.  They then sued the man and in OUR court won his ranch.  He was put out because he was defending his home.  Now in the news you hear about the Mexican military crossing the boarder into TX & NV to gather drugs.  They have shot at local police and nothing has happened.  This is an act of war.  What would happen in the US military crossed the boarder?  

We are defeatists.  Over the years we have become so racked with guilt over everything, we have become weak as a Nation.  We call ourselves "United", but there is no unity.  We will vanish eventually if we constantly refrain from defending our boarders and our way of life.  It's always refreshing to see somebody else notice the obvious.

Answer 4

Because, America is a country of immigrants. Every single American came here from somewhere else. There is no "American race", besides the Native Americans, and they have their own culture. Face the facts, you're an illegal immigrant. Did you apply to Native Americans to come here? No, instead some white pilgrims thought it would be funny to cage the true inhabitants of America, and take over. You're a joke, get educated please. And you'll see that everybody has a right to live here since this country doesnt belong to the people running to government.

Answer 5

Ask Nancy Pelosi  and all the other house democrats as they continually block any motion to act against illegals....

write her a letter from an outraged citizen and see what kind of response you get....

Answer 6

We shouldn't, but until the e-verify system is in place everywhere how are we going to prove/catch Becky from Canada or the Ukraine is illegal? Some are less obvious to the average observer and some who are legal appear to the average observer as obvious, even though wrongly. That's why we the average observer should allow ICE to do their jobs instead of playing armchair detective.  

Answer 7

We should not - and it is way past time for the citizenry to claim what is theirs - THEIR COUNTRY.

Perhaps it is time for the AMERICANS to take a march on Washington - let the illegals see exactly how outnumbered they are...

Answer 8

Illegals are used as Union Busters, if we do not allow illegals then Business will have to pay living wages to its workers. God forbid that we have a middle class with their own home, a chicken in every pot and two cars in every garage. That would be so fifties retro.

Answer 9

I wrote to sen. Obama on the subject of illegals.  His office wrote back and asked for a contribution......

Answer 10

We should not tolerate any illegal aliens in this nation. I remind my state's Senators and Representatives frequently that I can cast a vote, not an illegal. One has changed stances on this issue after receiving pressure from citizens.

As for those who scream the cheap labor is needed, that is false.

Our family farms are profitable without hiring illegals and we do not have a problem hiring Americans because we pay decent wages.

Cheap labor only leads to wage depression and loss of benefits for citizens and legal immigrants.  

Answer 11

I know, why should we tolerate illegals. As I have said before, it is illegal not to be American. Cause If you are not American, you are a degenerate who speaks Mexicanish and humps pigs and stuff. I mean have you seen Mexico. If you have your not American because leaving this country makes you un-American. Cause America is infused with stuff that have American spirit like fast food, and Disney, and houses. And other countries are infused with the spirit of other evil degenerate non-American stuff that will turn you into an evil degenerate, like Taco's, and Mexicanish, and Huts and stuff. That is why I hate people who speak Mexicanish, or sell Taco's, or count, cause they are doing non-American stuff that posses evil degenerate non-American spirit and by doing it near me it will turn me into an evil non-American degenerate. Heck, just being close to foreigners can turn you into a degenerate. That is why I don't want them hear, cause they are possessed by degenerate spirits. Luckily, people who go though immigration aren't infectious with evil degenerate spirit because the government sucks it out of them using complex machines. So I don't care if you "need to feed your children" or "you where abused by your government" your infected, and you can infect me, so get out.

(Satire)  

Answer 12

Do you have any proof for your claim?

Think about it! if coming across legally wasn't so hard and lengthy, wouldn't you think more would come here legally? and there is a limit on the number of immigrants allowed per year. But now that this whole immigration issue has blown up, even if an immigrant came in legally, he/she would still be harrased for not speaking English.  

The ones that are illegally here are already contributing to the economy by being consumers, and they also pay taxes. Some use government services, but they pay more into the system then they use in svcs.

Undocumented Immigrants and Taxes

Similar misperceptions about undocumented immigrants abound, especially when it comes to taxes. The perception is that the undocumented pay no taxes. In fact, they pay sales taxes like everyone else, most pay Social Security taxes, which they will never recoup, as well as income taxes: one is not required to be documented to pay taxes.

Debates rage over whether undocumented immigrants benefit from the American system more than they pay into it. Evidence is divided over the matter, depending on who’s making the estimates. What’s more certain is that the American economy would be severely hampered by the sudden vanishing of every undocumented immigrant, and that, when it comes to tax-supported government programs, the undocumented likely contribute more than they benefit.

Answer 13

Well, those millions of people you mention have to wait years before coming in here.

Some of them get tired of waiting and decide to enter without documents

Answer 14

we shouldn't but we also shouldn't have people waiting in line for literally decades just to be allowed in. its a paradox, yes we should only allow legal immigrants but how can we do that when it takes years upon years for the process to be done, illegal immigration is a byproduct of the inefficiency and bureaucratic immigration system.

there isnt 1 immigration category that a cheap labor worker can come in into the country so even if they wanted to (and the country wanted them) it still would not happen.

Answer 15

We shouldn't!
