Do you support illegal immigration?

If so i am curious if you support it enough to that you would take some illegal immigrants into your own household and let them live there with you?
People who say they support it, normally like putting on this act that they care so much so i am curious just how much you care..

Also those who constantly go on about seperating children from their parents when it comes to those who enter the country illegally, do you care so much when people in your country break the law and get a prison sentance and can not stay with their children? never see any one protest rights for prisoners and not to seperate their families..

just a thought. i know some people are going to get their panties in a twist over this as it always happens when these questions pop up but maybe instead of getting all angry about the law, you should get annoyed about those who break it and not act as though they deserve handouts for doing so

That depends. But I don't think a person needs to support illegal immigration to understand immigrants too are deserving of decent treatment and life. McAllen, Texas is not a decent facility for children no matter the politician who built it or uses it.

So lot of the people that may seem to be in support might just be wanting civil deportation proceedings to be more fair and fit to the charges.

do you care so much when people in your country break the law and get a prison sentence and can not stay with their children?

Only when what motivates them is a right cause. I don't support all laws, as someone who wants to push pass abortion laws, I am sure you can understand that.

Someone made that argument against me when I once answered the question "would you report your neighbor if they were an illegal immigrant?" with "only if I believed they are a security risk"

That's because I did have an ex muslim neighbor who overstayed, under a study visa. Looking for a job. He now has a work permit and is legal. Why would I want an honest working man deported to a country where most hate him?

And in Algeria, I have had immigrants crossing from Morocco and from down south working in my grandparents field and then going through the legal process during. They need to be fed and it's better when they are doing the work.

I also prefer they stay in Africa because of the cultural differences and because they'd adapt there better. And because it's somewhere I can actually help them.

@Miram I believe that happened Miram, but I do think it would be harder in the US especially right now. Seems if you don't fit the required element, that a person is supposed to be behold, America going from this wants you deported. It's sick and disturbed. And I'm not saying Canada's polite nature is better, but it hasn't been distored this way.

@PlumBerries Why disagree?

PlumBerries · 31-35, F

only because I am firmly against anyone breaking the law and getting away with it. the law is there for a reason

@PlumBerries Law's change and if the reason for discrimination for you is law, you need to examine how humanity works. My OPINION

PlumBerries · 31-35, F

I don't see it as the law discriminating against anyone as it is the same law for everyone and those who break it should not be rewarded for it. When it comes to illegal immigration, I think legal citizens should be put first before others and those who want in, should do it legally

@PlumBerries Our borders are created, like the suffering people have to endure. It's tiring listen to people who complain, but we have a border. And the US can suck itself, if it wants to promote itself as the go to land, it comes with requests
