Why are illegal aliens...?
not considered terrorist. Is our difinitions of a terrorist only someone that kills by using bombs. If an illegal Iraqui were to slips over our boarders and kill one or more people we would say it is a terrorist attack. So if other illegals do the same thing why all of a sudden do they have rights that protect them.
During these times I would think anybody coming into the USA ilegally would be looked at as a threat to our Nation. They may not come in to blow things up but they sure do put a strain on our economy, social programs and our middle class citizens. The rich nor the poor don't give a damn what they do to us. It's folks like me that are paying the price. Isn't that the goal of a terrorist, to destroy my way of life.
Many good responces here, thanks for the participation.

they do not come to attack just to work that's why.While I agree with you that they are a problem they are just petty criminals(law breakers)
just vote for someone to control the borders and send the illegals home

No one is considered a terrorist until they commit an act of terror. Illegal Immigrants are just criminals. Pure & simple. The sad thing is, we won't know that a "potential" terrorist has crossed our borders until people are dead. Some will argue that we need illegals for the economy. That's just not true. We need unskilled labor, yes. But, we need unskilled labor that believes in the rule of law and keeps their money in our economy, not Mexico's.

if there are illegal aliens out which is miph .they will not be consider terrorist ...because terrorist are sick minded people who dosent care anything about civalisation and are deston to destroy anything that gets in its way ...the law are there to protect the citizens ..rich . middle class or poor ..and immigration are there to know who they let pass through ..so that people like he or she or the citizens wouldnt have to pay the price which deems there way of life......

Yes, the good ole middle class folk like us are feeling strains & pains - I hear you. I don't consider illegal aliens terrorists, unless thier intent in entering our country is to intentionally harm it. But, I still see it as a criminal act, not a terroristic one. Fine line, but to me there's a little bit of a difference. I understand what you're saying, though. Tough thing is, its hard to tell who the true "terrorists" are.

The terrorists that blew up the world trade center immigrated legally to the United States. Per our Department of Homeland Safety they were permitted entry into our country. If that does not convince you that the current immigration laws are broken in more ways than one then I don't know what will. What will it take to get an immigration reform? These laws are not working.

I agree 100%
I'm completely against anyone coming here illegally. I think if they are caught then they should be sent back to their country and put in jail. If they want to come here then they need to go through the government and do it right.

This country was built by immigrants. I don't think any of them had a passport to come here. Don't get me wrong, I have a son that works for INS and I have a complete understanding of the impact of illegal aliens.
There is a big difference between someone illlegally coming into this country to work at a job that most Americans do not want to do and someone coming into this country to plot against our government.
I am one of the poor of which you speak. I suffer because of the strain caused by illegal aliens. I would like to see every last illegal in our country sent back to their country with all opportunities to return revoked. However, I do not look at them as terrorists.
The goal of many of the illegals from Mexico is to provide their own families a better life, not to ruin your life, you are just a casuality. If you need your car washed it is a service many would be glad to assist.
Sometimes I wonder if this is the price we pay for the treatment we gave the American Indian tribes. Oh, I forgot - we didn't just sneak across their border - we murdered most of them!! I guess that made us terrorists.
I am sorry I have played the devil's advocate here to try to show another view point. I do see your side of this; but, there is never just one side to a situation. Know that my son and many others just like him are dealing with the situation.
Not every person of color or with an accent is here illegaly, not every illegal alien is a terrorist. It is important that we as a nation stop having mass judgements against people so that we can grow in peace and as a community and nation.

You wouldn't be saying that if you were in their predicament
You just think about yourselfs, you wouldnt like to be like that if you were in their position. You just think about yourselves, but dont expand on how you think.
