Just Plain Ruff Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 All I want is a Yes or no answer. Do not make this into a political discussion. If this thread can stay civil then discuss but if it becomes politically charged or gets down to name calling and the like then I'll ask it to be locked. I'm just wanting to know in an impromptu poll whether or not our responses here reflect the national polls. CAVEAT This has nothing to do with what nationality you are. If you are mexican, african, eastern european or Antarctican it makes no difference in this poll. Illegal is illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akflightmedic Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 What makes them illegal? The government says they do not even exist. However, if some were to land and become known to the public, would there be a need for us to give them amnesty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Plain Ruff Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 then why does the government say that there are 12 million illegal immigrants. That's a figure that was posted on a web site i was on. But if they don't exist then why does the government want to give those that don't exist a path to citizenship?

mrmeaner Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 What makes them illegal? Probably the probing. Most abductees are not fans. Either that or the lack of FAA licensing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VentMedic Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Those 12 million illegal immigrants consist of several different nationalities from several countries. The fact that the U.S. government treats some very different than others makes this a highly charged issue. Just the issues concerning illegal immigrants in Chicago, NYC, Miami and Los Angeles are vastly different. You then have the differences between the students from elite universities that remained after their visas expired to the farm workers in the southwest. There's also the difference in treatment for those seeking political asylum and the refugee status. Quota mandates are placed on some and not others. Cubans, Haitians and other residents of politically embattled countries are all treated differently in the hands of the U.S. government regardless of the laws on the books. One can not just speak of a certain population of illegal immigrants and not deal with the other groups fairly also. I don't believe in amnesty across the board. I believe in due process if they are willing to do the paperwork and be finger printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
