What is your view on illegal or undocumented immigrants?

Let me first state that I am Canadian and not from the US where illegal/undocumented immigration is a major concern.
My opinion is based solely on my views as an outsider so I am curious about the opinion of others.
As for mine: persons who cross a soverign nation's border without abiding that nation's immigration laws are committing a criminal act and thus are illegal immigrants. The reasons behind this i.e. looking for better life etc cannot detract from the fact that a law has been violated.

I have professors who say that calling them illegal is wrong. That they should be referred to as "undocumented". But undocumented somehow suggests that their immigration paperwork is just delayed and in the mail. They dont have their documents because they didnt go through the legal process. There is a difference so why candy-coat it?

This doesnt mean that I dont acknwoledge the huge gap between rights and quality of life etc in different nations and that reforms should be done to assist people to legally move to more prosperous nations. But this is all besides the point. If you want law reform, you go through the proper democratic channels. You dont support criminal acts in the hundreds of thousands which in turn burden the social systems and structure of the country.

That is my view as a non-American. If you think that its right or wrong etc, please share.
Im very curious about the views of others.
Thanks

All illegal aliens deserve to be identified,detained and deported back to their home nation.They have no legal right to be in this nation.They demand rights they have no right to. The dream act will not pass and hopefully all the illegal aliens and their supporters will be escorted out of this nation. The money that it would cost the legal American taxpayer would be much better spent on securing our borders to prevent the return of the illegal aliens after their deportation. I wonder would any legal American give up their child's chance for higher education so that some illegal alien can have it ? I will not sacrifice my better way of life for any illegal aliens free ride . Arrest and deport all illegal aliens.

You are right. Your college professor sounds like a typical ivory tower liberal out of touch with reality. He has a tenured job for life and doesn't have to worry about reality. Plus, he knows that more warm bodies are good in a country where the government gives out benefits and makes it easier for them to go to college.

NO MORE ILLEGAL MEXICANS. EVERY COUNTRY HAS BORDERS AMERICANS CANT GO TO CANADA ILLEGAL SO WHY SHOULD MEXICANS BE ABLE TO COME HERE ILLEGALLY? so they can destroy the welfare system or kill americans? yes some of them really just want work but most are immoral violent and corrupt individuals who are dangerous to society. undocumented immigrant is the same thing as an ILLEGAL ALIEN.

The illegal aliens use a massive amount of bad I.D. Because that is the case, they all have to be returned, and there they can get the documents to come back, and then apply. But they cannot remain in this country.

The CORRECT term is "Illegal Alien".

Any other terms are oxymorons and misnomers meant to mislead people.

And my view on illegal aliens is that they all need to be deported.

They cost 100s of billion and kill thousands of Americans every year

Round up arrest and deport. That's my view.

I am a naturalized US citizen. I went through the entire legal process.
I also went to school to learn proper English and did not expect Americans to learn Mandarin for my convenience. I am proud to be called an American. I love the USA and respect the laws of my nation.

It's my view, that calling an "illegal alien" an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a "drug dealer" an "unregistered pharmacist".

It is simple, You cross any country's borders illegally, you have committed a crime.
It is illegal.

When South Americans cross Mexico's southern border illegally, they must hide their national origins. If not, Mexicans persecute, beat, and/or kill them for being in Mexico illegally.
