This country does not need more criminals. We have enough of our own. Try living in areas where MS13 runs wild. Far too many of the illegal aliens are pedophiles, terrorists, drug dealers.
These latest demonstrations certainly show that we better start deporting this riffraff.
The illegal aliens (along with criminal legal immigrants, notably those from enemy countries) are posing a great threat to the future of this country - that is obvious. They pose a problem for the environment, the schools, health care, law enforcement, national security, welfare agencies, etc.
USA should not be the dumping grounds for the excess population and criminals of other countries.
Can you please point out specifically what you think is absurd about my comments and why?
I don't just want to start an arguement, I actually wrote that response in my own personal blog and decided to respond here because I see that no one, not one person here, is standing up for hispanics. And even though I thought it would be a huge waste of time, I think being quiet when obvious racism is being spouted is wrong.
I didn't come here on purpose even, I was searching for information on the Immigration Bill and the protests in Milwaukee where I live. And actually I do live in a very highly hispanic area, I live in bayview, right next to "little mexico" as it's called.
I'd like your stats on the criminal population of illegal aliens, and I would state that poverty, and lack of education are the main drivers for crime in general.
The US should not be holding other countries under our thumb and forcing them to be dependant on us.

The Hispanic Challenge
By Samuel P. Huntington
Append:
Regarding your statement on other types of criminals improving their economic status. I feel your comments are a gross oversimplification.
I was not stating that all criminals are within their rights because they need to improve their economic status.
It's about options. People choose the options they choose primary because of situation. If you have the option to stay where you are and starve, become a prostitue, or work in a sweat shop illegally in California, which do you choose?
Are you telling me that there are other options? I think the least harmful option is to try to move, there's no direct severe harm to anyone.
However, crimes that specifically target individuals, such as drug dealing, theft, and (i'm not sure how this is even relevant but anyway) pedophilia are completely different. Most people who commit these crimes have several other options but choose the one that is bad.
I'm not stating that these things aren't wrong, but the only reason these crimes MIGHT be elevated in a minority population is again - lack of education and poverty. These are the areas that need to be addressed, not building a giant wall between the United States and Mexico.
