What "civil rights" are being denied to them?

i guess you could rephrase it as "basic human rights". the ability to work, eat healthy food, have a decent shelter, have basic healthcare, etc.

Not being citizens, ILLEGALS are not entitled to ANY of those priveleges here. They ARE "priveleges" not "rights", FYI. Our Country provides certain rights and priveleges to it's CITIZENS, as do all other countries. NONE of these rights or priveleges were designed for nor should they be provided to ILLEGAL CRIMINALS who come here ILLEGALLY and begin DEMANDING rights.

Aside from doing our best not to kill them or torture them, we owe nothing else to ILLEGALS before we catch and deport them all.

Isn't this something they should be seeking in their home countries? Not to mention that many US citizens do not have these basic rights. IMO they need to be taken care of first before foreign nationals.

their home countries arent as wealthy as us, and are more unable to provide for them than we are. this country should be taking money its dumping into bureaucracies and war efforts, and feed & house both its citizens and desperate foreigners. theres a radical concept.

I don't disagree that our administration needs to be better stewards with our money, however I don't feel we should be responsible for taking in all of the world's downtrodden people. The majority of our illegal immigrants are here for economic reasons and convenience. There are people across the globe that are being raped, beaten, and murdered in astronomical numbers. IMO their situation is much more dire. So if we are going to help people out, we should help those who are in worse situations first.

You are free to have whatever opinion you'd like to. We could all do without all the added sarcasm each time you post when somebody disagrees with you, however.
