Illegal Immigrants

[AmyTrivitt]

Two years ago an illegal alien (immigrant) shot and killed a United States citizen in my town. Now without going into detail of what happened to said illegal immigrant. What do you guys think should be done about this? Not just the killing of a US citizen but any and all illegal immigrants?

We could all be viewed as illegal immigrants, in all honesty.  But...illegal immigrants also receive our welfare services, like food stamps, wic, etc, so why would we not bind them to our laws as well?  A few years back, an American citizen broke a law in Singapore and was punished by their laws (caning) even though we didn't agree and he wasn't a citizen of their country.  So why shouldn't an illegal immigrant who broke a law here have to abide by our laws?

The govt needs to secure the borders more, instead of wasting taxpayers $$$$$ on pork spending, etc.

I agree with your last question!! That is something I would like to know also.

Illegal or not he should suffer the consequences for murdering another person. He should go to prison, then be deported when and if he ever gets out.

          Instead of illegal aliens: Let us called it "human trafficking of citizens and non-citizens!" It is a worldwide problem.

If we make them as likely to be killed over here as they are in their home territory; or even more so; they'll stop coming in droves.

If I could, I'd trade some of the hardworking illegal immigrants for the lazy good-for-nothing citizens we have in this country.  We can trade one hard working illegal immigrant for one criminal sucking up our money in prison; give 'em to these countries with harsh penalties.  May just straighten up the crime here AND help with the immigration problem.  It's not like giving them our wussy american baby criminals will affect the crime rates in the countries that most illegal immigrants come from.

All joking aside, I'd rather the murderer be deported to his country in question for them to deal with, rather than for us to keep him in our jails (and feed him, clothe him, give him his doctorates/access to all the recreation he could want).

I live in Phoenix and I saw a billboard that read, "We don't have an Immigration Problem, We have a Capitalism Problem." Plain and simple.. and true. Any thoughts?

If you think we in Phoenix don't have an immigration problem then you must go out with blinders and ear muffs on.

Hi, Hmmm Illegal Alien is all over the place!  they should be deported or make them pay of what my Husband paid for all my papers  It is very expensive and Illegal aliens should do the right thing also and that wouldn't be a problem if they want to come and live here.
