It is not right to be quick to call someone a criminal just because they're not from our country.

Not right to ignore demonstrated real criminal history, beyond immigration status, to give protection to those here illegally either. There ought to be consequences for sanctuary cities and police units that don't support efforts to arrest illegals for other crimes.

@Stillwaiting when it comes to a crime, usually criminal history and especially that of the immigrants is what they look for first. But sometimes people make up crimes in their minds that do not exist, just because someone is a foreigner so they assume they are also a criminal. That's what I was talking about.
@HannibalAteMeOut Which actually sounds like you made that up.

I'm not against immigration within our laws. I am against open borders. The reality is there are some criminals coming here. There are also more people coming than we can afford services / benefits for. That is not made up.

@Stillwaiting I made that up? I didn't even mention immigration, borders, refugees in my post, I didn't mention the USA and its sanctuary cities and you're bringing all this on here, why? Because you can't think of anything else beyond that. Almost as if the rest of the world doesn't exist. I'll tell you then that the thing I said isn't made up because people often see a brown or black person and instinctively think they have to protect their things and stay away from them. To be more exact there have been two cases in my country lately where immigrants were blamed for alleged crimes they didn't commit. One was a black father who took his daughter to France to live with her mother and he was immediately blamed for trafficking her and the other one was a Syrian couple was blamed for sexually abusing their dead kid before the pathologist had even determined what the kid died from. These people were baselessly blamed just because they were foreigners. Meanwhile when a real crime is committed by a local, all the relatives and neighbors are quick to say "oh they seemed like good people!". See the problem yet?
@HannibalAteMeOut Actually .. I think about quite a lot beyond illegal immigration in the U.S.

We here in the US get criticized no matter what we do. Step in to resolve conflict and human rights issues and we get bashed for butting in. Stay out of it and look after own concerns and we don't care about anywhere but the US.

Truth is .. no other nation on earth gives as much to help others .. protect others .. you name it.

Expressed my opinion like you did .. we have that right here.

@Stillwaiting
Sometimes I prefer dark chocolate to milk chocolate.

On another note, do you have anything to comment about the actual post? Anything correlated?
@HannibalAteMeOut My comment was correlated .. not all claims of criminals among illegals are made up as you claimed in responses. I dont know what the rest of your drivel was about.
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@Stillwaiting I never said they were made up! Where did you even read that? I just said don't look at a foreigner and think "oh, here's a criminal" when there isn't even a crime in the first place! And I said "someone who isn't from our country" which doesn't only include immigrants, legal or illigal. Then you started talking about how people blame the USA for everything while in reality they're just unconditional angels. So yeah.
@HannibalAteMeOut uhm. .. bullshit

Copied from your comment above

"But sometimes people make up crimes in their minds that do not exist, just because someone is a foreigner so they assume they are also a criminal"

It fecking exactly what you said. You have a little problem with reality there, dont you?
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@Stillwaiting didn't I explain how there were TWO cases of exactly that in my country? Of how people and the media assumed people were criminals just because they were foreigners? The MADE UP crimes that didn't exist (trafficking, child rape) in the first place until they found out that nothing of these happened? Did you just skip that part?
@HannibalAteMeOut .. So that is then by far the exception .. there .. and here ..
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@Stillwaiting so that's what you have to say now. I make a post about how people are blamed without having committed any crime and you say these are the exceptions. No, they are not. Sadly. At least you finally read what I really said without assuming. I guess that's the first step.
@HannibalAteMeOut .. I think there are more real claims of criminals among immigrants than false ones. Therefore I believe in having a vetting process and a legal immigration process .. for people of all backgrounds .. brown, white, asian and any other .. instead of open borders. Your 2 examples aside.

@Stillwaiting so, if you assume I'm undocumented or a criminal if I'm Mexican, can I assume you're in the KKK cause you're white?
@basilfawlty89 Read what I've actually said before coming at me like this.

I'm for properly vetting ALL who try to come into the US legally .. regardless of their ethnicity. We have immigration laws .. if you are here outside those laws, I am for you being sent outside the US .. regardless of your ethnicity . White, brown, asian or any other.

There is NOTHING racist about that.

Nearly every sovereign country in the world has immigration laws they enforce. To say its racist for the US to do so as well is the height of hypocrisy and YOU are playing the race card to fit YOUR agenda.
