Should all laws regarding illegals be enforced?

Do you believe what Janet is saying about it not being a crime? Since when are misdemeanors not considered crimes? Americans Working to Stop Illegal Immigration Get the Facts about Illegal Immigration Illegal Immigration Laws Most Americans know our basic laws regarding illegal immigration. It is illegal to enter the United States without permission. The first time an illegal immigrant is caught in the US it is a misdemeanor civil offense.

1. yes
2. HELLO! news flash! they are being enforced. But the majority of the time when these laws are left up to police to enforce, they are not enforced 'by the rules' especially in Arizona. Sheriff Joe Arpaio has abused this power and focuses on hard working immigrants, and not the violent criminals that plans like 287(g) clearly state. Janet Napolitano and the Administration know that the only crime 90% of illegals are committing is living here illegally. Here's a good example: http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2009/02/26/20090226icereport.html Report: ICE program used by Arpaio a failure Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's continuing and controversial crackdown on illegal immigration and the federal program that lets him identify and arrest undocumented immigrants is a financial and public-safety failure, according to a new report. "It had enough time to prove itself, and it failed," said Aarti Shahani, a researcher with the Justice Strategies group who co-authored the report. "The immigration system is broken, and 287 (g) is not the way to fix it. It's like pouring water into a cup that is broken, and the water keeps leaking out. It isn't doing anything to solve the problem."
3. Informative question. Yes the should all be enforced by they are not. There are some boarder patrol persons who take bribes and let the illegals cross. This is a low, low priority for our government. So low in fact that they want to give them amnesty. SAD.
4. All laws should be enforced. People who break laws should be caught and arrested. At that point, judges should be able to resolve cases. This is called a legal system. If we throw away the legal system, we may as well rename our country Mexico.
5. The laws are enforced except the one the affect businesses. The anti-immigrant crowd focuses all the energy on hating immigrants, but if you instead focused on the people who employed them, there would be no illegal immigration. Without jobs, no one would come.
6. Yes, and a lot more aggressively.
7. Yes. Years ago. Today. & tomorrow.
8. Absolutely! They get away with too much and make the U.S. look like they can't even secure our borders.

Without jobs, no one would come." Such hypocrisy. Look at who opposes enforcement of the laws against employers because doing so would dry up jobs for illegal aliens: SEIU. AFL-CIO and the ACLU, among others. These groups have filed lawsuits to stop the use of eVerify and SS no match letters which are designed to eliminate or at least greatly reduce the loophole that employers now get to hide in, namely that they can't tell fake documents from real and that looking "too closely" opens them to charges of discrimination. As it is, the Obama Administration and some Democrats are trying to use these (especially eVerify) as "bargaining chips" for amnesty.
10. Get the feather out of your A@@ already. The laws are being enforced, just not in the killing manner you would like them to be! We are here to stay; face it!
11. It's one of life oddities that the very kind of people who want to round up millions of people - which would require hundreds of thousands of extra police and immigration personnel - are the same people who whine about Obama, socialism and higher taxes. They're also the very people who would rant about crime (the vast, vast majority committed by home-grown Americans) but want police to ignore armed robbery, rapes and murder to go and arrest men mowing lawns. They bellow about the economy going down the toilet, but want to effectively close down American agriculture and slow construction to a virtual crawl. Hell yeah, round 'em up and ship 'em out. Knock yourself out, Bubba.
12. many of us have been begging our government to enforce it laws! if i break a law i get prosecuted, is this the benefit of being a citizen? welcome to the new America!
13. Too bad your ancestors didn't care about such things as illegal occupation and genocide.
14. Of course - but we know that we are second class citizens behind the third world invaders.
