Do you think ILLEGAL immigrants deserve the same rights as legal US citizens?

illegal immigrants (mostly from mexico) DEMAND rights as any legal US citizen and will call you racist if you disagree. they will wave the Mexican flag but not the US flag if they are not treated right as they are illegal afterall.

    No because we call them ILLEGAL for a reason, and they come in and use our resources that we pay for with taxes and expect to have the same rights as us, that is total BS

    All HUMANS deserve certain rights. However, a government can only handle only so many people. As a nation may grow there may be need to initiate certain branches of government to cope with it's population. Our government depends on our support. When we dilute ourselves by allowing undocumented persons access and entry into our country the natural and naturalized enhabitants suffer. While ALL people have the right to life and the pursuit thereof, no nation can survive without the support of it's own people. America already has a heavy burden because of welfare. Too many people live to be on welfare which creates a heavy burden. To top it off, some of that burden works "under the table" and not only receives free aid but also benifits by bringing in an UNTAXED income and takes away available jobs from our citizens. THAT'S JUST NOT FAIR TO ME OR MY FAMILY. NOR YOU OR YOURS. It also lowers the wage base, something for which we ALL suffer. There is a proper channel for comming into the US. If it is abided by then the immigrants can benifit by our constitution. However, our own criminals loose many rights when convicted. Illegal is Illegal. Aside from the most basic of Human Rights, anyone breaking the law do not deserve more than the basics. Just because a person is inside US teritory does not give them the right, nor should such actions be condoned, to autonmatically be given them rights as an American. Governor Schwartzenegar (Calif) briefly concidered issuing drivers licenses to undocumeted workers (Illegal Immigrants) but the people of CA opposed that. In short, if someone wants in let them do it the right way. Many have before them, there's no reason they themselves can not do the same. Unless they are looking for a free handout.

    Illegal aliens should have no rights what so ever, especially if they have entered a country's borders illegally. They post a threat to every person in the U.S. since their objectives are not known.Their demands should not even be a subject but our government allows such travesty and treason. Especially when they are invading into a country.

    No, according to the US Constitution. however they deserve the right to be treated humanely while being deported expeditiously

    No. You should not be in our country. What does Mexico and other countries do for illegals?

    They arrest them.

    If they don't have legal citizenship then they shouldn't have rights.

    I think the Constitution says that all U.S. Citizens have rights, but they aren't U.S. citizens, therefore they shouldn't get rights. Their fault they don't have rights, not ours.
