illegal immigrants, should something be done? Options

[poisonedxivy]

i guess the issue on illegal immigrants is becoming more apparent than before. what do you guys think? should something be done to stop this or should something be done?


personally i think the government NEEDS to crack down on these people. its unfair if dishonest people cross the border line or reside in america for a longer period of time than allowed.

Don't get me wrong, I know most of them are hard working, honest people, and I would gladly grant them citizenship any day of the week if I had the power.

But, as it's always been in any ethnicity, there are the select 1 or 2 percent who could be a potentially psychotic serial killer.

ONE OR TWO PERCENT.. you said it yourself, why punish the entire group over 1 or 2 percent?

I think it should be cracked down on for one main reason:

The crime that illegal immigration spawns.

1) You have more hate crimes both against the illegal immigrants and committed by them.

2) The problem with the crime that illegal immigrants commit is that it's in such stealth, they could hold up the local convenience store, leave every single finger print they wished, get caught on every single security camera, and get away squeaky clean.

We don't have any records on them, so yes, "a little piece of paper" is quite important.

It's hard enough now to track down criminals having every piece of their history on file.

Imagine how hard it is having zilch...

1. Where do you get this statement? Evidence?
2. You killed your own argument.. read the last statement "Imagine how hard it is having zilch..."

I have 2 responses to that statement:
1. You said so yourself, its hard, so why make it harder?
2. If they have zilch, tell me: how the heck do they manage to obtain weapons to hold up convenience stores?
