Why does the "Anti-Illegal Immigrant Crowd" always try to blur the line between legal and illegal?

only racist will blur the lines.

most people welcome legal immigrants, and most people agree that illegal immigrants are bad for the country.

i know I personally have sympathy for their plight, but that doesnt mean I want the country to suddenly start overlooking immigration laws out if empathy, the laws are there for a reason.

only a racist, propagandist will try and lump all mexicans together whether legally or illegally here. They are forcing their own racist point this way and its not a valid argument in any immigration debate.

to be fair about this, both sides need to limit their arguments to the actual issue, illegal immigration, not make examples out of the bad behaivior of any mexican individual as a case against illegal immigration.

Actually the reverse seems to be true. By replacing 'illegal alien' with 'undocumented worker', 'undocumented immigrant', or 'illegal immigrant', the attempt is made to make these criminals appear more desirable.

While there are a few who do not want any immigration, the majority only wish the laws to be followed and enforced. Therefore, 'always' is quite an exaggeration.

The "Anti-illegal ALIEN" crowd doesn't blur anything. If you are here without documentation, if you had to sneak across the border to get here, or if you allowed your visa to expire, you are here ILLEGALLY. What is blurred about that?

I feel that if you support ILLEGAL aliens coming here and living the YOU should be the one to support some of them. I do not want MY tax dollars to go to supporting those who break the law.

Illegal aliens steal identities, forge documents, deal drugs, and much more and at a much higher rate than US Citizens do. Did you know that 95% of the MURDER WARRANTS currently issued in LA county are for ILLEGAL ALIENS? What's blurred about that?

Michael P is correct in saying the reverse is true when you Latino lovers use euphemisms for "ILLEGAL ALIEN". That's like saying the A-bomb was a "misdirected firecracker".

I'm totally against illegals entering our country and living off of American taxpayers. I'm also against the increases in legal immigration our current political "representatives" are trying to shove down our throats to benefit the Big Business lobbyists who line their pockets. The US cannot continue to grow its population without severely affecting our natural resources, infrastructure, and utility grids.

If you love illegals so much you should take a few dozen into your home and support them. Quit expecting all taxpayers to do it because you can't see two days ahead of yourself to anticipate the massive problems overcrowding and government dependence will cause.

We don't. We just hate ILLEGALS of any race,or color!!!

Why do you pro-ILLEGALS always make EXCUSES for the crimes they commit??

"Oh they just wanted a better life"..well, WHO DOESN'T??? But that "better life' should NOT come at the expense of OTHERS!!!

You pro-ILLEGALS seem to think it's totally ok, for illegals to STEAL i.d.'s from legal American citizens. I personally know three people that has happened to!!

They've had an AWFUL time trying to straighten out the MESS caused by the illegals!!

The I.R.S wanted THEM to pay the back taxes owed by the illegal!! Then, there was the mess to their credit rating to straighten out also!!

Then,there are all those innocent children who have been raped by an illegal!!

And, all the American citizens who have been killed by drunk drivers who are in the country illegally!!

So, yes i DO have a problem with illegals!!!

I am pro legal immigrant and anti illegal immigrant. I and most others I have spoken to on the issue make a very clear distinction between the two. It tends to be the pro illegal immigrant people who try to connect the two and make anyone who is anti illegal immigrant appear prejudice or zenophobic.

They don't. It is concise with the two definitions of LEGAL and ILLEGAL. Why do SOME blur those two with immigration. One is Illegal aliens, meaning without documents in another nation they should not be in and the other is LEGAL immigration, meaning those who migrated legally through the proper channels and followed the current guidelines...I see no blurry vision.. my advise get Lasik, contacts or glasses. It may help SOME that favor amnesty for Illegal aliens see clearly and those lines won't be so blurry.

Actually the Pro group are the ones' that do THAT!

The ANTI's are clear as a bell. YOU are either here legally ...or you are not.

Few if any of the anti's I've read are confused about this. Many of the Pro group, with no leg to stand on do a Mexican tap dance, beating dust into the air, hoping to confuse the issue.

Love your handle ...laughing too hard to type very well.

I am not quite sue what you meant by anti-illegal Immigrant....is that the one who are for illegal Immigration or the ones against....no matter the definition of illegal is as follows and do or say whatever you want, you can't change the fact.

Illegal, or unlawful, is used to describe something that is prohibited or not authorized by law and is punishable by law

I'm pretty sure of the difference between legal and illegal immigrations, as are most people who are against illegal invasion.

Too bad we cant' say that about them people to condone and support illegal invasion. But that's to be expected from them.
