what does illegal mean??

to me illegal means when you do something which goes against the laws of the country which you are in. When this happens, you are penalized for breaking the laws and have to do some kind of punishment for your actions. Why is it that some people want to let illegal aliens get away with breaking the law, but also be rewarded for breaking the law?? I just dont get it!! I am so glad that by this immigration bill going down in defeat, it appears the american people get this point! illegal is illegal.. If you commit the crime, you must be prepared to do the time!

    Well, you have correctly answered your own question

    but seems that Ms. Gonzales is pissed off because we

    WON.

    The way that I feel about this is this.

    A person commits a crime (illegal immigration) and then

    they demonstrate against us because we don't want to

    give them amnesty. This is just plain stupid, you do not

    reward a criminal by giving him what he was seeking

    during the commission of that crime.

    Does it make any sense to any one that if a bank robber

    robs a bank that you reward him with amnesty and he

    gets to keep all of the money? Of course it doesn't, if

    that were true, I would rob banks for a living.

    I used the bank robbery scenario because part of what

    the immigration bill did was to grant amnesty and immunity

    to gang members that are also illegal aliens, all they had

    to do was to sign a document that they would no longer

    participate in gang activities, instant immunity, amnesty

    and if they had just committed a murder or robbery prior

    to signing the agreement, they were free and clear.

    Now we need to build the wall, get the illegals out and

    get rid of the Senators that voted in favor of the bill

    including all of those that voted for the bill and are running

    as a Presidential candidate (there are some on the list)

    We do not want the next president pushing this down our

    throats again in 2009

    Illegal Meaning

  • 5 years ago

    Illegal means absolutely nothing anymore!!! We NEVER voted to supply these illegal people with health insurance the government did so let them pay for their health insurance out of their own pockets not ours! These illegals don't even bother to speak English which is the American language! Their children go around and interpret for them and this is wrong also. What about all the welfare they are collecting? Until they make themselves legal and go through the proper process to become legal they should get nothing at all!!! They are allowed more benefits than real Americans who speak English and this is absolute garbage! Have you ever been to court for whatever reason and seen all the illegals who need interpreters because they are working on their 7th or better DUI's? The real Americans have to sit through them and their interpreters before getting their turn. The illegals should have to sit and wait til the real Americans who pay taxes and speak English are done first! I could go on and on but I feel like going out to commit a crime just to bring this up in court because illegal means nothing anymore!

    The American people overwhelming believe illegal means their must be punishment but our government is basically saying they are too lazy to get the job done so what we need is a law that would allow local police and state police the right to seize illegal aliens property and sell it in auctions to pay for deportation and boarder enforcement. Basically we can not count on the Federal government to do anything anymore they have grow so large and useless they can not pass any bill without some weasel trying to add something ridiculous to it. They basically try to make everything so vague and full of loop wholes that it looks like they have done something to get reelected but as we all know they do nothing. I would love to see a full scale march on the capital to let these criminals know who really wields the power in our democracy.

    What does what you say have to do with illegal laws. If the bill passed or not passed the illegal laws are still in effect.
