Why do supporters of illegals believe illegals do not have to obey the same laws as everybody like fraud is?

It's a far left agenda to rework the demographics of this country. Special interest groups like La Raza want to increase hispanic influence in the United States ( reconquista!). Other "conservative" interest groups like the Chamber of Commerce want cheap labor. None of these groups care about our laws or the well-being of the United States. It is up to us as citizens to defeat the elected officials and the liberals in universities who are eroding our culture, law, and traditions.

If a US citizen was to break even one of these laws then the book would have been thrown on them. Now add all those crimes together and the citizen would never see the light of day again. This is very sad and now with the economy the way it is. Obama wants to give the illegals amnesty before the end of the year 2010. http://www.google.com/search?q=obama+illegal+alien+amnesty&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a I don't know if anyone has noticed yet but censorship is on the rise. I thought Obama was supposed to make things better. I think this country is having a sexual relationship with China. That would explain the erosion of common sense we now face.

They compounded their own criminality. After entering our country illegally many of these people then got work in the United States illegally by using the stolen identities of American citizens. Now that employers are under strict hiring guidelines the feds say immigrants show up to apply for work with original looking U.S. birth certificates, phony-but-authentic looking social security cards and other convincing documents they’ve bought from well established, organized counterfeit rings. Some of the stolen identities are those of dead Americans, most are still living. Think of the identity theft mess these U.S. citizens will encounter when they are confronted with bills they don’t owe, learn their credit has been ruined or their Social Security retirement fund is in question. I know, I know …yeah yeah the immigrants buy the identities in an urgent effort to follow a dream, to feed and educate their family and I feel for them. But they can’t be allowed to pursue their dream by victimizing American citizens and committing multiple felonies. It’s also crystal clear that some greedy companies are guilty of exploiting these desperate people because it provides them with a cheaper workforce. Those companies need to be prosecuted too. Arizona, the state that endures more illegal entries than any other, has what appears to be an effective law. Any business found employing an illegal immigrant has its license suspended. A second offense and the business’s license is revoked permanently. Two strikes and your out and businesses are said to be taking the new sanctions very seriously. I feel profoundly sad for the plight of hard working illegal aliens and, especially, the position in which their own bad judgment put their families. But they are the ones who chose to break the law to get here and to stay here. Some of the family members and supporters of the recently arrested staged protests complete with banners and chants that declare ‘We have a right to be here, too.” Ummm. Actually, they don’t. Everyone has human rights, but no automatic right to full U.S. protection. First, they’re not Americans. Second, they are accused of committing multiple felonies. Criminals loose their rights – period. This position isn’t cold hearted. It’s firmly grounded in the rule of law on which this country was founded. As former President Jimmy Carter once famously said, “Life is not fair. Get used to it.”

I personally don't have any issues with LEGAL immigrants. What I do have issues with is ILLEGAL immigrants not obeying by the law. A lot of them think that they're being mistreated but in actual reality they're hurting the economy. There are millions + LEGAL citizens here in the U.S. who were born here, and still can't get a job. You can't go to another Country and be an illegal citizen. So the same rules should be applied here. What makes ILLEGALS any different from the other LEGAL immigrants? They fought hard for their citizenship and they did it the RIGHT way. If it applies to one it should apply to all. Do it the RIGHT way, by law!

This is a rhetorical question... the fact that this is going on is Wrong and still Illegal. Rod J's answer was quite good. I would add that the goal of many in groups like La Raza, MEChA is as Rod said, "Reconquista" which means they expect to reclaim the territories lost by Mexico to the US during the Mexican-American War. This involves 8 southwestern states. One very effective way of accomplishing Mexico's goal is by encouraging the migration of their citizens north, into the US by any means necessary. Encourage them to go north and have lots of babies to populate this country so they can annex these territories back to Mexico. Ownership and power gained by sheer numbers. They win the war without firing a single shot! Meanwhile, many of our elected officials, who could/should be doing everything in their power to stop this, turn a blind eye to what's going on. After all, if these illegals are eventually granted amnesty [again] it will mean more votes for them. Look up La Raza, Reconquista, MEChA, and the Nation of Atzlan. Then read up on the real facts of the Mexican-American War. Learn about how this war ended with the Purchase of these lands and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Actually, Mexico only held independent control of these lands for approximately 35 yrs (some sources say 50 yrs)... it had been under the control of the Spaniards for 300 yrs before this time.

Everyone has to obey the law irrespective of where they live. That applies to Mexicans living illegally in the US and Americans who live illegally in Mexico. Without law you have anarchy!

very hypocritical, if an illegals identity would be stolen, they would want everyone prosecuted for a hate crime.

Hypocrisy an attribute of which liberals are extremely proud.

All I'm saying is that I've worked around many illegals ... and to generalize, they are the hardest working people I have EVER met. And the SSN fraud you refer to generates money back to the US government in the form of income tax, but no benefit but the threat of deportation to themselves.
