So you are going to continue on with this horrible comparison? lol
"lol"? It's only "lol" because you fail to have a satisfactory way to weasel-word your way out of the analogy.

You can do whatever you want in YOUR personal house, within reason. However, as I have an equal share in the "house" that is the United States, you do NOT get to circumvent the laws that we have all agreed to live by and through our representatives. We have agreed to allow people that meet certain criteria live among us permanently, and you sneaking people in, or making lame@ss excuses for people who do sneak in are violating MY rights, not the other way around.
Because no, you do not have absolute freedom of use of your personal property or house. You want to buy slaves from Sudan and have them work and live in your personal property? You think your "rights" are somehow being abridged when you are told you can't do that? You want to rent your house to fifteen people in a single family neighborhood? You want to cry that the law says you can't? You want to invite your family from the old country to live with you in your house? Sorry, they have to go through the proper channels.
I only reluctantly share this country (Our collective "house") with people like you - people who apparently believe it is the duty of Americans to welcome third world poverty in a modern world where we are struggling to maintain social services and a particular standard of living for Americans and our LEGAL immigrants.
wat? So are you going to actually provide proof of your bogus claims that they will continue to commit crimes or just hand wave the whole issue away because you got called on it?
The personal pressure some people on this board feel out of ethnic guilt/solidarity/identification can short circuit both critical thinking skills, and cause them to lose site of what is best "for THIS country" vs. what is best for the people from the "old country."
There's one for "huddledmasses" (cute moniker, by the way, emanating as it does from "give me your huddled masses" which I believe was once again referring to genuine refugees rather than simply illegal aliens) to respond to as it's just rife with that implied racism he finds objectionable in ALL posts proclaiming the criminality of illegal aliens.
Well they wouldn't be illegal if we gave them easier options to come here which is my point all along. In other words, if I had my way they would be legal. You have no right to tell me what I do on my property.
May I suggest a remedial course in "Property and Land Use Law, 101"?
Might have to drop next semester's "Social Justice Studies Seminar" to take it, but it would probably be a more practical experience for you.

What rights of yours are being violated?

coolstorybro - I suppose I can't set up crack dens, prostitution houses, etc. either but I'm not talking slaves. I'm talking about renting to people here to work. BTW, I'm German/Norwegian/Swedish so your undertones about me being only for wanting to change things because I am hispanic or something are bordering on paranoia.

Yeah well at one time we welcomed the poverty stricken here as a gesture of what America is supposed to stand for. Did they ruin America?

This is a strawman of all strawman arguments. It can be used for every single crime committed.
Speeding wouldn't be illegal if we didnt have speed limits.
More people would die as a result of course but at least no laws would be broken.
As for right to tell you what you do on your property.
strawman argument again.
We are told by just about every level of gov what we can and cant do on our property. Starting with zoning laws.
For example on my property I am not allowed more than 1 unlicensed vehicle to be parked on it.
I can not put a trailor or mobile home on my property.
I cannot build an shed or garage without a permit.
I can not have a party outside after 11 pm.
I must mow my lawn
I must keep my property in good repair
I am not allowed to harbor fugitives
There is nothing but regulations about what I can and cant do on my property
Ohhh elaborate please. What ethnic guilt? what old country? Or is one of those wink wink things?
Wink wink?
How can it be any more explicit? Do you need me to draw you a picture?
The most vocal supporters of illegal immigration are those who share common ethnic bonds with populations over-represented in illegal immigration.
My father is an immigrant. However, there is very little illegal immigration with people from his country. I am therefore free of ethnic guilt to make excuses for what is obviously detrimental to the United States because I'm afraid of being called a Tio Tomas, Banana, or sell-out to my people.
Pretty sure everyone on your side here would disagree with this.
Obviously they are just getting caught less because they are super sneaky.
All these people caught were illegals that were given a path to citizenship?
You have proved nothing.
