I don't understand how they can just announce that they're helping people commit crimes without any legal side effects.
What the hell is the point of having any immigration laws at all? Or hell, ANY laws at all!
Yes, they are. They're helping them get away with a crime. They're in the country illegally, the college knows this, and allows them to enter the college. That's helping them get away with a crime. If I see someone commit a crime and invite them into my home and don't call the police to report said crime, I'm legally liable for helping them.They're not helping anyone commit a crime.

Anarchy. Yippie.
No thanks, bud.
Good point.
:3oops:
Why not?
Because there are bad people in the world that need not be a part of society. Any social order must have just that - some order. Any civilization has laws and rules, a society cannot function without them. What makes a society distinct and/or special are the laws and rules they have, and the ones they don't have.
Anarchy results in chaos, a society cannot thrive in chaos.
I wasn't being serious.
Anyways, the immigration situation isn't going to change with a fence, nor will it change if the current laws are "enforced"; there are just too many people here. What is needed is massive immigration reform, a more efficient legal immigration system, legalization of those that are already here and more liberal immigration requirements.
Saying what these people did is wrong because they broke the law is somewhat foolish; this discussion isn't about whether or not they broke the law, but whether or not the law should be how it is. During the civil rights movements many activists broke laws, such as black people sitting in white only seats.
Maybe, just maybe, if they didn't get a free ride off my dime
The majority of illegal immigrants pay taxes, and they aren't entitled to benefits in most cases, so it seems to be just the opposite.
They pay income taxes?
How so? With fraudulant SSNs?
I'm supposed to feel good about that?
And, they DO get "benefits" from our already bogged down medical system. Illegal immigrants are a HUGE problem for many hospitals in the south. So much so that some have had to shut down. They get free medical care and free education. I consider those benefits.

No, I was just disproving your claim that they're leeching off the system. I could care less how you feel about it as long as you aren't stating incorrect assertions.
How do they get free medical care? Maybe everyone should get free medical care...
And as for free education, that's why they pay taxes (unless, of course, you're talking about college, in which case any low income student can easily get scholarships).

Prove that statement.
"The fact that illegal immigrants pay taxes at all will come as news to many Americans. A stunning two-thirds of illegal immigrants pay Medicare, Social Security and personal income taxes."

Since undocumented workers have only fake numbers
So according to the article 8 million people are committing ID theft and fraud.
From the CSMonitor article:
"The IRS has been quietly supporting this activity since 1996 when it created an individual taxpayer identification number designed for anyone who doesn't have a social security number."
And yet the same article stated that all illegals use fake id numbers.
