[quote=Agnapostate;16602838]

Actually, it first has an impact on the moral legitimacy of national sovereignty. Since theft is not a morally legitimate means of property acquisition, it is nonsensical to say that it is wrong to “steal” from a thief. On a somewhat related note, there is tremendous irony in white Europeans calling American Indians “illegal aliens.”

The Mestizos of Mexico coming here illegally are not "American Indians" (U.S. indigenous tribes) they are Mexicans Indians. In fact they are part Spanish-European so they could be considered invaders and illegal on this continent just as you are claiming those of other European ancestry are.

There have been seven sources posted for you to consider. Where is your refutation? Where is your counter-argument? Where is your citation of superior empirical research? At best, you made an attempt to criticize data collection deficiencies, but could not elaborate on that.
According to you, unless an exhaustive study is conducted, at best, the data can only be considered anecdotal. Given that data on illegal aliens has only recently been compiled, your studies fail to fulfill your “large data sets” prerequisite. Hence, they have no relevance to the topic of this thread. Furthermore, we are not discussing Hispanic “immigrants,” we are discussing illegal aliens. Until you recognize this salient distinction, a debate of the issue is futile.

Come back when you can provide a “large data set” on the criminality of illegal aliens.

When has anyone on this forum referred to Native Americans as illegal aliens? Please quote the posts, or retract your ridiculous comment. If you are implying that Mexican illegal aliens are the rightful occupants of this land, you are not only delusional, but in need of an in depth history lesson.

This, by far, is the most despicable post I have read on this forum in a very long time. Three young people were viciously murdered, and the lone survivor will live with these horrific memories forever. Yet, you have the temerity to justify this due to your warped belief that it’s an acceptable retribution for the European conquest of this land. How sick.

I’m a staunch anti-illegal, but I would NEVER relish the thought of illegal aliens being murdered, let alone try to trivialize it.

Obviously, your hatred is so intense you can’t even condemn these senseless murders. I suppose you even celebrate when illegals rape innocent, defenseless children. After all, a Native American must have been raped by the settlers. Even the most rabid DREAMies don’t generally exhibit this vile level of callousness. At this moment, if I spoke my mind I would be banned, so I will leave it at that.

It’s for that reason that people interested in the scientific method turn to empirical research.
This anomalous illegal is not representative of millions of illiterate, reprobate invaders. To suggest otherwise, is sheer lunacy.

These murders were not only “coordinated,” they were an “organized policy decision” of the well-established MS-13 gang. The scumbags were instructed to kill as a condition of their gang initiation, and their assignment was executed accordingly. Regardless, murder is murder, and only the morally bankrupt condone such acts.

Not that it’s relevant, but how many lives has the good doctor saved? I assure you, they pale by comparison to the lives destroyed by illegal aliens.

There you go again with “immigrants.” Apparently you made a wrong turn, because this is the Illegal Immigration Forum. Again, until you can provide comprehensive data on illegal alien criminality, there is absolutely nothing to refute.

Why are you incapable of rational response? Regardless, apart from the fact that the illegal/undocumented persons are less prone to crime because of the disincentive of discovery, I would expect that a number of crimes that are committed by that number are due to the absence of gainful employment that exists as a result of their confinement to the informal labor market created by artificial restraints (i.e. immigration laws).
The premise of your argument is the ramification of the absence of Dr. Q. Therefore, it aptly qualifies as a “what if.”

Give me a break. illegals are less likely to commit crimes due to their “disincentive of discovery?” Do tell. Obviously, said disincentive does not preclude ID theft, fraud, rape, murder, DUI, and myriad other crimes.

A lack of gainful employment does not justify or mitigate criminal behavior. Furthermore, they are ALL ineligible to work in this country. If they can’t find work, GOOD!

So, you hate both countries? Why are you here? Or, are you?
