"Its not the current status of an alien that people care about. That can be changed. Its the act of coming illegally that people object to."

Approximately 50% of all undocumented aliens entered legally and simply failed to return after their temporary visa or authorization expired. That is not a crime. Does that mean that you have no objection to 50% of the out of status immigrants?

If someone committed a crime of speeding, running a red light, discriminating in renting a house, owning a gun without a permit, or possessing marijuana at some point in the past would you forever hold it against them?

Sorry, I don't buy the line that people oppose illegal laborers simply because they are illegal.

What a lie. Even if I bought your bogus 50% figure, being "out of status" makes you a "deportable alien," i.e., an "illegal alien." You don't just excuse lawbreaking, you lie about it, too.

Overstaying a visa is no accident. Its very similar to crossing the border illegally. Only its a 'time' border. The intent is the same. If someone always drove dangerously over the speed limit and never stopped at red lights, yes I would hold it against them.

You're implying racism right? If not please spell out exactly what you are implying.

That's because you're a despicable race-baiter, and the only thing that people like you have to fall back on when your pro-illegal immigration arguments get torn to shreds is to insinuate that people who oppose illegal immigration are racists. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

It looks like you're implying that those that oppose illegal aliens are racists. I know how you object when people suggest that you've posted such a sentiment so could you please clarify the meaning of that statement?
