A question for pro illegal immigration Liberals?

I am having a hard time understanding the Liberal point here.

Are you guys in favor of all illegal immigration? Or just from Mexico?

(In other words, should immigrants be allowed free entry without

question from ANYWEHERE, say the Middle East?)

In that case, do you support the repeal of the federal law that makes

it a crime to be in this country without going through proper channels?

If anyone has a serious answer, feel free to email me.

    I don't support abolishing the federal laws or requirements for legal immigration; but I do support making the process easier and less cumbersome, and for increasing the number of visas.

    But the real problem is not how many are coming in. It's how many are already here illegally, and neither side has proposed a fool-proof real-world solution.

    It is these types of wild jumps in reasoning that make it so easy for the shock jock media to brainwash you people. While I am sure there are people who think that everyone should be allowed entrance to our country with no questions asked, I have certainly never met any of them. Liberals in general are not "in favor of illegal immigration". That's ridiculous. Do I demonize illegal immigrants as much as most Conservatives? No, I am not of the opinion that they are coming here to murder us and rape our children. I think most are here to find work to support their families. I don't believe that i am anymore likely to get robbed or killed by an illegal immigrant as I am by a LEGAL immigrant or an American born citizen. I have no problem with people immigrating here and working and paying taxes like everyone else- and I think it should be easy for them to do so. But here lies the issue- Conservatives in general do not like immigrants because they feel they are taking away from "real" Americans. So, they use this issue of illegal immigration as a cover for xenophobia in general. And then Glenn Beck goes on TV and screams and cries about how Liberals want everyone from all over the world to invade our borders and take over our country. And, judging by your question, you believe it.

    There's a major leap from not shooting people who cross the border to allowing "free entry without question".

    This question is a straw man intentionally set up to make opposing points of view look foolish--if you have a serious question, feel free to email me.

    I don't care if people want to come here to build a better life for themselves. If they can do it in spite of all the natives whining about not having a job then good for them. It would be better if we made legal immigration easier though making it unnecessary to sneak in.

    I don't believe in borders. I believe that the earth is a place that humans have no right to claim dominion over, and belongs to all living and nonliving entities collectively.

    Democrats and republicans are a FAIL

    Vote them out of our Beautiful country. They made too many mistakes and committed too many cheats.

    1. They are trying to destroy the constitution - FACT

    2. They hand our government bailouts to business as a reward for failure of business- FACT

    3. They promise the troops home but fail to do so -FACT

    Vote in 3rd party
