whats that? compassionately, humanitarianly, rationally and logically? in this country, that does seem to be unusual.

You think it is unlawful for America to enforce our immigration laws but you think it is OK for people from other countries to break our laws on immigration.

i dont think its "unlawful"... i think its morally reprehensible. a country founded on a melting pot of cultures and freedoms has legislation designed to keep people out? and all the while we enact more legislation to further rape the resources of the working class in these countries we're denying emigration from? that is selfish, disgusting behavior, regardless of what the law says.

This is why I believe we should join in getting rid of illegal immigrants that have no concept of abiding by laws and our prisons are filled with enough illegal immigrant criminals to prove it.

our prisons are filled with citizens, too. and many of those people are there for no justifiable reason other than we enacted legislation to classify them as criminals. marijuana was made illegal through the el paso ordinance around the beginning of the 20th century because the mexican day laborers smoked it, and the white upper-class was ignorant to it, and subsequently feared it. so rather than understand it, they criminalized it. people were put in jail for this new "crime", which had not been criminal for years and years prior, and had not hurt anyone. it is NOT notable that these people are all criminals, it IS notable to understand the nature of their "crime", and to use common sense to distinguish just laws from unjust laws. that is why we originally had juries of our peers.. to interpret law.
again, youre bringing up immigration status as a factor when it doesnt belong. citizens AND immigrants are in jail. DO NOT single out one side, or it is a biased, ignorant statement.
