That is a retort with no merit whatsoever.

Isolated events. Sorry, but again you miss the point entirely. Actually my dad was hit by an illegal immigrant. Look, I know somebody that was raped by an illegal immigrant. I don't blame that on their status. I blame it on the individual. I know another girl who was claims to have been raped by a C-list celeb. Should I state that the person being a C-lister led them to rape this girl? NO.

I take it that you've not beat up a person for raping your friend. That you've not held that person and stayed up with them. I take it that you've not had to help that person testify in court. I've been there.

That's why I know that it's not being illegal or being a c-lister, or any other stupid broad generalization you want to throw.

That attribute does not predispose a person towards rape.

Same logic you used buddy...So if my retort has no merit yet uses the same logic...that means that your argument is moot.

So in order to decrease rape...ABORT ALL BABIES...that way humans die and there is no rape. Do you see the logic I used. A group CAN commit B, so we have no more of A group (despite that A may not commit rape more so than any other group). Hence the flaw.

Hopefully you'll understand...It's pretty simple.

I don't think being an illegal alien predisposes a person to be a rapist. However, it is true that if illegal aliens were not here, they would not have had the opportunity to victimize citizens of this country and we would have millions of people today that would not be victims of those crimes. Yes, US citizens commit far too many crimes too, but the crimes of illegal aliens could be prevented if we enforced the laws already written.

Yes, they are individuals. But they are individuals who shouldn’t be here, and need to be deported. Ignoring this problem will not make it disappear. We need to aggressively pursue this scum -- not attempt to hide the fact that they exist.

i dont know, for me i think its this board. because otherwise i never really gave someones legal status a second thought. i dont see a threat posed by illegals.

drug dealers. rapists. kidnappers. molesters. i totally see the threat. those are the ones i have mostly been concerned with in my neighborhoods.

ive been able to peacefully coexist with immigrants (illegal or otherwise), as have most people around town. but now i do find myself leering. even to the point of wanting to ask them if they are here legally(which of course i dont).

this board has made me more suspicious i think. like i said i dont know if its a good or a bad thing.

thanks for your reply.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with being anti any ethnic group; it’s simply the result of massive illegal immigration comprised primarily of one ethnic group.

For me it's been multi-faceted. Having my house broken into twice by Ilegals. (it's on a early thread, yes they were documented Illegals). Having to rush my roommate to an ER to find it packed with Illegals.

Then just reading it over and over and over. An Illegal killing someone, Illegals doing this, doing that. Getting into accidents, hit and runs.

The bottom line and the most angering about it is THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. I just can't seem to get past the opening line on that.

Agreed. Illegal immigrants - no matter how you defend them, they are illegal.
