Here’s a simple question: are all illegal immigrants — by definition — criminals?
Not long ago, I would have answered: “Yes, of course.” In fact, in a column from 2005, I said as much and urged fellow Latinos not to gloss over the fact that these people broke the rules in entering the United States without authorization. I noted that there are those who don’t like the term “illegal immigrant” because they don’t think that people trying to feed their families should be labeled criminals.
“What else would we call them?” I wrote. “They broke the law. We can be sympathetic to their plight without condoning their actions...."

The proper term is “illegal alien”
I'm not going to worry about someone from another country “wanting to feed his family” at the expense of our own legal citizens being able to feed his family!
It is cruel and insane to invite people into our country (legally or illegally) when unemployment 10% +
they don’t think that people trying to feed their families should be labeled criminals.

However when single illegal aliens with no families turn up here theyre not trying to feed a family...
and that is most of the illegal aliens..
Plus you steal from a grocery store and use that excuse and see where it gets you ...
No, they are not criminals.....just illegal ( wait, my head is starting to spin...makes no sense....illogical )...
The descendants of the very few Mexican citizens that were in AZ 150 years and did not choose to go over the border back into Mexico at any point in the last 150 years can claim they were here first. The ones that stayed in Mexico have NO claim. Any illegals sneaking in now have ZERO claim. The United States won it 150 years ago. Mexico had AZ for only about 25 years and there were only around 10,000 in the southwest when we won the war against Mexico.
The United States was very generous when we won against Mexico. Mexico started the war. We won and could’ve taken the entire country fair and square as the spoils of war.
If LaRaza keep flapping their gums we could implement the Reconquisadoracion of Mexico.
We charge Mexico for the land that they have now. Sell all their valuable assets, as the Soviet Union did when they took over Eastern Europe, charge Mexico for ALL the social services that we have squandered on illegal aliens including hospital visits.
Charge Mexico for all the lost wages and unemployment paid to legal Americans over the decades because the illegal aliens took their jobs and made everyone’s pay in the US lower by having a much too large pool of labor.
Put all the illegal aliens into Belize and Guatemala, because it is a very small border to protect, and pay those countries a few billion dollars out of what we make on the sale of the assets of Mexico to send every citizen of Mexico into their country since legally ALL of Mexico should, by rights, belong to the USA.

======================================================
La Raza is also finacially supported by many corporations and tax-exempt foundations (listed on the Discover the Networks.org). Among them:
American Express Foundation, AT&T Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Fannie Mae Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, W. K. Kellogg Foundation, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation and Verizon Foundation.
NOTE WELL Between 2001 and 2003, the Ford Foundation gave La Raza about $9.83 million, with one grant alone totaling $8.05 million and has also assisted invaders to setup legal groups that are suing Americans.
I still prefer the term “illegal invaders.”
EVERY OTHER COUNTRY ON THE PLANET thinks you are a CRIMINAL if you enter their country illegally.
Heck, just try riding a JETSKI anywhere NEAR the MEXICAN BORDER.
Not only are you 'illegal', you are also 'dead'.
“Illegal Aliens Are Not Criminals”
Yeah.... those rapists, murderers, and drug dealers are real upstanding citizens.
MAYBE we should stop everyone who ‘looks’ like an alien and check their ‘record’. Then we could let the innocent proceed to naturalization and deport the criminals.
OOPS, I forgot. We can’t ‘profile’.
Mexico seems think differently when it comes to their borders.
If one breaks a local, state, or federal law to feed one’s family, one is indeed a criminal...not Robin Hood. =.=
Paterson Makes Last-Minute Deal With Feds On Illegal Immigrants
That's sinister!
I wonder how much the Feds are giving to the Communist Party?
Not a "squishy-headed liberal."
He is worse than that. He is a rogue official who ignores part of the law he doesn't like.
This is like libs who justify Obamacare's death counseling regulations they just sneaked in by saying, "But Bush did the same thing!"
When Congress allocates funds, it is very specific on where and how it can be spent (hard to believe). Can the tax-exempt La Raza prove where they spent the grants? Oh, never mind, the FBI, SEC, IRS, GAO can find out (/snix).

The only thing that will work is to define illegal entry as a felony at both the federal and state level. And empower private citizens to be authorized to use deadly force to prevent commission of felonies.
US Code covers this. Why is it ignored?

Rudy: Illegal immigration not a crime
They're setting the stage. Amnesty for all illegals that haven't been convicted of a crime.
After all, the U.S. needs more slave labor. /s
