Okay? So what? You never sped down the freeway too fast?
Amazing! This is just what I had said about the pro-illegal tactics. They claim that we shouldn't object to illegal immigration if we have ever had a speeding ticket. That logic is so totally bizarre that it defies any kind of common sense.
Yeah ok...whatever you say. Liberty or death! Ever heard of that. All you people that are in favor of harassing people by asking for "papers" like we are communists, don't believe in the constitution of the United States and Bill of Rights. Commie behavior is what I would call this!
There is nothing in the Constitution or Bill of Rights that denies us the right to have and to enforce immigration laws. If I am asked for my DL in a traffic stop does that equate to Communism? If I am asked when applying for a job for my SS number and proof of right to work in this country does that equate to Communism? Unbelievable! Just how desperate are the pro-illegals going to get to keep this invasion going?

Factoring in ID theft, non reporting of income, etc. I can safely say that 100% of all illegal aliens are criminals. The above crimes are Felonies which would land my American butt in prison.
As for Felony speeding (21 MPH or greater) down a road: if I were to do so and get caught------------oh well.
No they wouldn't... we've seen the middle class flight occur in the 1990s (during a time of gentrification in SF, and SD, yet not in LA)...the big push to the Inland regions of SoCal. Crime is also higher in said regions. We also see that gentrification is weak during the recession. DT LA is not as desirable as it once was. Jobs are moving away to more suburban locales. So, this is flawed.
Flawed? Not here in the Phx area; areas formerly full of illegals are starting to become desirable places for decent people to live in since those enclaves tend to be close to amenities. Cheap housing certainly does not hurt.

Illegal immigration is a 'permanent' state of being in violation of the law. It has no comparison to speeding, double parking, littering, or jaywalking, all of which are 'transitory' acts. Illegal immigration would be better compared to setting up housekeeping in a city park....or moving into a vacant house without the owner's permission....or building a structure without adhering to building codes. All of these are more-or-less 'permanent' acts, which cause ongoing damage.
One more thing that sets illegal immigration apart, is that whether the above acts are temporary, OR permanent, none of them have any significant group of people making impassioned arguments, and convoluted analogies, and 'compassionate' bending of the truth in order to 'defend' this behavior. No one is suggesting a 'racial' or an 'ethnic' angle in any of the above offenses, except for one. Only ONE large set of lawbreakers enjoys that distinction....(and it isn't speeders...and it isn't shoplifters..and it isn't drunk drivers).

You're right about that but both the 4th and 14th Amendments prevents unreasonable search and seizure, which would be the legal issue involved in rounding up day laborers. It would be unreasonable for the police to randomly ask someone for ID unless the officer had some reason to believe crime was afoot; this would require more than a "hunch". See Terry v. Ohio
Such instances have already made their way through the courts, which all indicate that a belief that a person is an illegal immigrant is not enough to stop someone. Now, if you are actively chasing someone who you saw just cross the border, then that is a different story.
What could happen is that day workers could be stopped for loitering. They could then be asked for ID. This depends on where they are standing and the local law concerning it.

Indeed! Nor is our economy suffering due to jaywalkers, speeders, or other minor traffic violations. The comparison is idiotic, and only serves to exemplify the sheer desperation of pro-illegals, and their lack of anything remotely substantive in their defense of illegal immigration. They have no choice but to grasp at straws; and it’s becoming more evident with each nonsensical post.

You guys are the ones always saying a "law is a law". Ironically, you have a problem with YOUR own methods of logic...

You compared rape to illegal immigration. Technically, rape is a "transitory" act...Again, I posted that to be ironic with your methods of logic. However, I never intended for people to un-ironically try to refute their own techniques.

According to your logic though one would have to be perfect in order to justify being opposed to illegal immigration. That isn't possible since we are all human. Besides when an American breaks the law they pay the consequences. In the case of a speeding ticket there is only one person involved and only one person who will suffer for it....themselves. In the case of illegal immigration our whole country suffers. Many if not most Americans do not break laws intentionally anyway. So because "some" do that makes your case for illegal immigration for you? Just how desperate is your side going to get to justify the violation of our immigration laws?
