Show me where mowing people down with a machine gun is a christian act? Oh I forgot you are a contrastive and you people are writing your own bible. They write that the two edge sword in Rev is a M16 or AK 57 or even a Bazooka. God help us when a so-called christian want's to shoot people.
When "Christians" want to start shooting people they are no longer Christians.
In some cases, I would agree with you, however, I'm not speaking about people stealing food from the store. They are robbing and killing people. I don't buy the excuse for that kind of behavior that 'well your honor, understand that I was desperate and poor'. Nope. I don't buy it. Decent people of any race and color don't resort to such measures with that excuse.
It's typically a steady progression. Most of the time they don't just come over here and start murdering people. They come here and they're illegal. They start working under the table. The person they work for pays them only half what they promised. They can't go to the police because they'll get deported. So they start selling a little dope to make up the difference. As they begin selling dope more money's rolling in. As more money rolls in the dope selling becomes more serious theft, then robbery, then murder.
Sadly, if the process was reformed or amnesty granted maybe he could have become a citizen and started honest and legal work before having to go down the rout of dope dealing.

But you are right that illegals are persuaded with promises of a good life (and a lot of times, it's white American men, not just gangs that do this), thus making the problem more so.
I know I'm right. I've seen it first hand.

I disagree. There are lots of poor folks who come to this country legally all the time without a problem. Again, I think that it's possible for some, but not for most.
One illegal immigrant I knew had a record from Mexico. His criminal record precluded him from coming to the United States. But his girlfriend and his daughter lived here. So he illegally immigrated to be here with them. He was caught and deported. So he illegally immigrated again. Now he's married and a citizen. But it was a long and arduous process.

Thanks. It isn't me, but I like messing around....maybe too much....LOL!
You're cool in my book! lol

That would be a good idea, but again, except for someone stealing food from a store, I don't buy the 'I used a gun and killed a complete stranger for his shoes because I'm a poor illegal immigrant' excuse for crime. In most cases, you will find that these criminals escaped from Mexico because Mexican jail is WAAAAY worse than American jail! They were criminals there already, and they continue their crime sprees here. I think you'd be looking long and hard to find an illegal immigrant who was an upstanding citizen in their country but turned into a criminal in this country. That makes no sense whatsoever.
That's true in some cases but you're painting with a pretty broad brush. Think of this, if we reformed the system or allowed a form of amnesty those who could become legal would race to be legal.... leaving those with records either getting caught in the background check process or leaving them illegal, thus leaving them weeded out from the other illegals who weren't criminals.

As for the cost to 'round them up', I'd gladly pay that then paying for them to reside in jail and prison for months and years, paying for their food, air conditioning, education, and medical care.
If we streamlined the process for illegals with nothing to hide to become legal it would leave those with a record to hide illegal. Then efforts to round up actual violent criminals would be less expensive and more fruitful.

However, for those who might be here illegally but want to be upstanding citizens, I'd pay for their education, housing and food while they are in school, and I'd support them for however long it took for them to become productive citizens.
Commit crime, however, and you are out. Just once. Done. Of course, I'd do that for citizens on welfare too, but that's another lazy bunch of people (for the most part, not everyone, but most) to talk about on another day. LOL!
Aquilla, how would you propose to deal with the problem of illegal immigration? We can't just let anyone into this country that wants to be let in. We already have way to many jobless. How are we going to give them jobs?

Get rid of Obama
Obama kills jobs. Cap and tirade and Healthscare are up next in his desire to destroy 5 million more jobs.
How about we swap a person on welfare that doesn't want to work for 1 illegal that likes hard work?
