"What part of illegal immigrant don't you understand?"<br> <br> I don't understand *why* it is illegal when it violates nobody's rights - and violation of rights is the only thing that a government is right to to use force to prevent.<br> <br> "You say "It's not an "invasion" to barter your labor for money - it's admirable! It's not "plunder" if you work for it." HUH??? I'm sure there are a lot of robbers, molesters, rapists, and other criminals who do legit work also Maybe we shouldn't be upset with them. In other words, why is it that every other criminal doesn't get this luxury, while illegal aliens get a mulligan for their crimes?"<br> <br> You are equating robbery, murder, and child molestation with crossing an invisible line to work at a job. In one sense, they are all crimes, yes. However, robbery, murder, and child molestation are immoral and unethical regardless of the law. These three despicable acts violate the rights of innocent people. Illegal immigration is only "wrong" because the law decided that it is wrong. Illegal immigration does not inherently violate anyone's rights, and therefore it's not in the same bag with robbery, murder, and child molestation.<br> <br> Of course, you could bring up scenarios where some illegal immigrants have committed violations of the rights of others through robbery, DUI, etc. But those crimes should be considered and punished separately because they are inherently different crimes. There are still plenty of legal citizens committing robberies and murders, and the fact that someone has crossed a legal border illegally doesn't make their murders and robberies any more or less heinous.<br> <br> <br> As for saying I haven't considered the costs, I addressed that by saying it's OUR fault for being such socialists. End the social services (or all we have to do is deny them to illegal immigrants) and the problem is solved.
