No, the criminals that come across the "open" US/Mexico border as the migrant workers do.



ok, so people who cross an invisible borderline to get to work, illegaly, are criminals. does that mean that cegers who put illegal tint on their rides, illegally modify their exhaust systems and drive above the speed limit and remove their front license plates are "criminals" too? what about people who break the jaywalking law or make illegal Uturns or sell stuff on ebay without filing the necessary tax paperwork? how about kids are 20 and drink a beer at their buddy's house or a 17 year old who smokes or decides to ditch school and go to the opening of Star Wars? are they all "criminals" too? or does that label not apply to law-breakers who are already citizens. geez, what about all the pot-smokers in here? and people who illegaly copy software and give a copy to their buddy or a relative? buring a copy of friends cd is illegal you know and there are a few multi-billion dollar corporations who would appreciate it if you would stop doing it. arent they criminals too? or are they just "criminals" because you dont happen to favor the particular crime that these particular people commit? sounds kinda hypocritical to me (not directing at you personaly Swazo).

its funny how so many good Americans (and especially Christians) can go about their daily routine of law-breaking with no hesitations but wont hesitate to point fingers at other people. out of the billions of people, yes billions, who have illegaly crossed our borders (both) over the last three hundred years, just how many were a serious threat to "national security?" can you or GW tell me that? and once again, i didnt see any mexicans listed of the 17 hijackers that changed our views on national security on 9/11. no mexicans bombed the USS Cole. No Mexicans ever bombed any Marine barracks or took any US professors hostage. No mexicans involved in the bombing of the OK federal building or the attempted bombing of the WTC. No mexicans at WACO (although tons nearby). none spotted at Ruby Ridge. none caught trying to smuggle bombs in from canada. wasnt a mexican with a cheapie bomb in his shoe on an airplane. no mexicans attempting to assinate a US president. I doubt any mexicans ever mailed any anthrax to any politicians or mailed any pipe bombs to anyone. no mexicans in iraq or afghanistan or the phillipines shooting at our troops. in fact, quite a few are members of our armed forces. in fact, many troops who faught and died in veitnam, alongside white and black men, came from "questionable" backgrounds while many men avoided it by going to college. yeah, threat to national security.

btw, we let armenians, persians, arabs, and russians in by the plainload daily. many of which are involved in mafia-like activities including identiy theft, credit card fraud and other crimes that are currently wreaking havoc on our society. how many of them do you see out in the fields doing hard labor? and yet, many of them collect welfare, send their kids to free schools, and get free medical care. i dont see any minutemen at the airports with their binoculars and walkie talkies

im also curious about this. we all know that millions of illegal immigrants have millions of children who are born here in the US, moreso than are smuggled across. (so that right there are millions who arent getting free medical and education illegaly). per United States law, they are United States CITIZENS. so they are entitled to all the freebies like all the other domestic mooches we already have. ok, besides that, if we send all their illegal immigrant parents home to where they belong, do we ILLEGALY send these american citizen children with them?! like it or not, they ARE american citizens! do we now start forcing our own citizens out of the country?! or do we send them to foster care facilities while we send their parents back? tell me please, what would be the "right" thing to do? what would Jesus do? what would a good Christian American do? split up a family? kick out a legal citizen? retain illegal citizens to be with their legal children?? please, all of you who have the answers, please tell me what we should do in those situations. and there are millions of those situations. should we change the law that allows this? should we also change the law that makes a foreigner an automatic citizen if they marry an American citizen? because that happens everyday by the millions here too. i know many legal citizens who have married an illegal immigrant. what's the answer?? (and suprise, not all were hispanic. many were from europe)
