Its not immigration. Its tresspassing and freeloading.
Both are immoral.
Over a sucession of administrations that ignored the problem. Like most issues that end up seemingly intractable (not to me,i say round em up and send them back) this was caused by inaction until the illegal seemed to be the norm. I bet there are judges that would rule that way too.
Is burglary immoral? I think illegal immigration and burglary are nearly identical crimes except for the scale.
That is the point people need to look at. Forget all the reasons for or against, whether it’s moral or not. Just look at our countries laws and enforce them. If we don’t do that, then the general public shouldn’t have to obey any of our laws. Is that where we are going?
Thank you, and for the post.
Since President Obama is asking China to help defend S. Korea, he should also ask China to help us with the illegal alien invasion.
Watch "Immigration Gumballs" on Google Video (must see)
Good intentions are the subject of the last few minutes.
It’s simple, if all those illegals were presumed to be future GOP votes, the border would be closed in a mico-second, not even a coyote would get across.
We need to deport or imprison ALL illegal aliens, including their anchor babies, seal/secure the border with a wall and fence, and have a lethal response to all who try to re-enter illegally.
Case in point, the Supreme Court has said it is illegal to protest within a certain distance from an abortion clinic. Does that make it immoral to protest within that limit?
Also, it is legal to take somebodies property (Kelo) but is it moral to do so?
I try to remind my Spanish friends, that it’s Spain’s fault, not ours.
Ping!
IMO, it’s neither complicated nor a ‘moral’ issue.
Illegal is illegal. Breaking the law is immoral.
MY HERO!!

What if I snuck into Canada, purposely evading their border patrol, perhaps even paying a coyote to help me do so. Once there, I steal some Canadian’s identity and work under the table, taking a job away from a Canadian. I also use taxpayer-funded services to which I’m not supposed to be entitled. All the while I insist that it is my “right” to do all of this as I arrogantly proclaim my presence is “enriching” the Canadians. When you look at it that way, it’s obvious that it’s immoral! It’s just that when supposedly poor Mexicans do it to us, the issue gets all clouded up with matters of race and poverty. Suddenly we cannot expect poor Mexicans to abide by the same laws Americans abide by! It’s a condescending thing.
You know how one crime leads to another. A 29-year employee of the U.S. Social Security Administration office in San Jose has been indicted for illegally creating and selling Social Security cards.
Rachel Ochoa, 66, of San Jose, was arrested at her office in San Jose last week and appeared briefly in federal court before being released on $50,000 bail.
According to the indictment by a federal grand jury, Ochoa was able to use her position at the San Jose office of the Social Security Administration to falsely create cards for people. Recipients of the cards paid from $2,500 to $5,000 to obtain the cards, according to an affidavit by the FBI.
The affidavit said Ochoa fabricated documents to support applications for the cards and then claimed application interviews had taken place when they hadn’t.
Authorities declined to say how many cards were involved but the charges against Ochoa stem from Nov. 18, 2005 to Nov. 9 this year. Ochoa is charged with one count of unlawfully producing an identification document — Social Security cards — one count of theft of government property. If convicted, she faces up to 15 years in prison.
Ochoa is due back in court for a preliminary hearing on Nov. 29.

Or is the engine that drives illegal immigration the American middle class? Why should millions of suburbanites assume that, like 18th-century French aristocrats, they should have imported labor to clean their homes, manicure their lawns, and watch over their kids?
Here's what I think should also be asked. Is it the people living on Welfare and those who use our tax dollars to buy their votes? Why should a group of people think they are entitled to live off other people? Why shouldn't they be doing the jobs the illegals are doing? Why do our lawmakers think those Americans are to good to do the jobs Latinos are doing?
