Why aren't illegal immigrants getting deported?

Postby reuben29 » Fri Nov 18, 2011 4:10 pm

I'm a law-abiding person who loves the USA and would like to immigrate their once. Unfortunately, my possibilities to do that are restricted to marrying an American and having an employer stick their neck out for me and do all the paper work. Both are kinda unlikely and out my control.

That's why I'm kinda puzzled when I read articles about how illegal immigrants go to high school, how they file their income taxes, how they go to college and so on. My question is how is this possible? The school districts, the IRS they all act all hypocrite and ignore the fact that they're illegal and move on with their daily lives? Or how can the immigrants fool these authorities?

I mean even without denying illegals' right to education in the USA, the main fact is that they're not allowed to actually set foot on the soil of this great country. So then how could they get their education there legally?! Ain't that once again hypocrisy? Are the authorities really that blind and incompetent or are they just looking the other way? If they're looking the other way, then why? Why not just reform immigration? (Because politicians don't agree what that reform should look like, yeah I know that.)

Y'all know it just makes me kinda mad to see that I'm someone who'd respect the law, the traditions, the language, the values, the culture of the U.S., I'm willing to become an American if I ever get the chance. And yet I'm basically not allowed in there because I refuse to immigrate illegally. And all those who are willing to break the law (and quite often don't even speak English, etc.) are in theory not allowed but in practice are welcome in the USA.

Well, if it's any comfort, for one...you're thinking like your fellow American citizens and two...you are respected by Americans whereas the illegals are not.

I don't understand it either. It's kind of crazy.

I know the economic effect of illegals is huge. That could be an excuse to legalize those already there but not an excuse to postpone a reform. Truth is with a good reform those who are really necessary for the economy could be allowed in legally and the rest could be denied entrance or be deported.

The government decides all that stuff, many of our views, as you can see, don't seem to count. They make the laws, but many times don't enforce them. Our system is far from perfect.Many of us go unheard, when we try to stand up for what's right.

1) Liberals in the US have decided that it makes them FEEL bad to have to enforce the laws of the US and deport illegals as we find them
2) As long as illegals aren't robbing them (either their possessions or of their jobs) they don't care
3) As long as illegals seem to want to vote for the DNC (the people promising them amnesty), they don't care
4) Liberals don't seem to care that 60%+ of illegals WILL NEVER in their lifetime pay more into the tax system than they take out
5) Liberals don't care that 80%+ of illegals in the US don't have a high-school education

It sucks that there are a lot of people in other parts of the world that want to come to the US but can't... while a bunch of Mexicans (80% of illegals in the US are from Mexico) can sneak in a hope to squat in-country until the government gives up and makes them legal... all because of their geographic location.

If you want more access to the US for non-Mexicans (80%, it ain't racist if it's true), you should hope that conservatives win more elections. We aren't all "keep all those foreigners out!" we are "Keep 'em from rushing in and squatting, we want to pick the smart ones to come in and to keep the riff-raff out." (in other words: we want those who will come here and IMPROVE the situation, not drag it back to the 3rd-world s-hole they just came from because they want to be mexican but live in the US. I hate to break it to you, but it is being Mexican that caused all your problems in the first place)
