No, they are not.
First, they are not "immigrants" but criminals who broke the law by entering illegally.
Second, they don't live in fear. The illegals continue to committ crimes with impunity in the face of a Homeland Security dept. that plainly refuses to enforce the law.
Just the other day, I heard on the local radio that the ICE was releasing felons who had completed their sentences back into society instead of deporting them, as Federal laws demand.
I realize that most of them are not the people on whom we should focus our anger. The people who are really to blame for this mess are Americans, but until this issue is settled in a way that prioritizes the rights and desires of American citizens I'll be running pretty low on compassion.
All I can see anymore are those bird flipping, crotch grabbing, Mexican flag waving cholos.
Actually, they have been breaking the law every day since then. It's not legal for them to BE here.
He has been here over 10 years? Why didn’t he go after amnesty the first time?
Demand a border fence! Build it NOW!! Beef up the border patrol and close our borders!

Mad now?
Don’t look at this thread that was just posted.

“They broke immigration law a decade ago when they crossed the Mexican border and could be deported if found out.”
Why continue further with the story?
At this point I think Chertoff is more incompetent the Janet el Reño. Maybe the most incompetent cabinet official in U.S. history.
I never lived here in fear, why would do that???
I lived here a number of years and felt completely comfortable at peace, because I entered into this great country after 3-1/2 years of Immigration scrutiny in my home country!
The icing on the cake is I am a new LEGAL naturalized U.S. Citizen since April 4, 2007!!
There is NO reason why these mehico's coyotes could not do it the same way. No, they choose to take the law in their OWN hand and landed here as ILLEGAL aliens, can you spell them CRIMINALS!!!
TEN YEARS HERE AND STILL HASN’T LEARNED ENGLISH!!!!
This is the frickin problem. They don’t assimilate. They just want money. they think they are owed citizenship because they want a job.
EVERYONE WANTS A %$%$DAMN JOB!!! THAT IS NOT A VIRTUE!!!
All the mexicans in Mexico want a job too! They are no more virtuous than the illegals sneaking in to work here.
This whole thing makes me sick. Illegals are not victims. They create victims. They steal peoples’ identities. They have no concern if it causes those Americans problems that they have to clean up. they come here and kill people, and rape people, and get drunk and cause fatal car crashes, kill our police officers, and think they are owed all this crap.
Makes me sick. Fence First. Actively find and deport criminal illegals. Stop providing government funding for illegals currently here - schooling, any assistance, etc.
That reporter found them, why can’t ICE!
Deport the illegals and build the fence.
It’s so sad that breaking our law has led to this, but they chose to take the risk. If they all leave together they won’t be separated.
He sure is living in fear when he’ll talk to a reporter through an interpreter. I would say the reporter is in violation for not reporting this illegal
They wouldn’t live in fear if they lived where they wer legal.
He ought just get pissed and leave.
Agree.......every time the word immigrant is used in this debate with others, I correct them and call them by their proper name.....illegals.
Real immigrants don’t need amnesty.......
Sure, they’re living in fear that people will find out they’re not Americans, but in ten years time they can’t learn the language and try to pass.
