Are undocumented immigrants violating the law the same way that Rosa Parks violated it?

Yes. Hispanics have every right to be here.  They are doing noone harm.  In fact, they are doing the jobs that you and I don't want to do, which enables society to keep moving forward. It si discrimination.  Full Stop.

Does anyone other than me think it ironic that an illegal, waving the flag of their country of birth will protest for rights in America but not in their own country?

Illegal/undocumented are synonyms.

I don't think so.  They forgot about\nNo. 8 Thy shalt not steal\n.....and\nNo. 10:\nThou shall not covet thy neighbor's house... \n\n\nIllegally entering the USA is the same as both stealing and "coveting thy neighbors house"\n\nIllegal immigrants can't follow God's or man's law. They prefer a 'lawless' land. Where would our country be if we allowed all people to continually break our laws without punishment? We would be like Mexico, a dust bowl of filth, squalor, crime and drugs.\n\nOur laws are passed for legitimate reasons and should be enforced, abided by and those who break our laws should be punished.

absolutely, they both (aliens and minorities) play on the sympathies of the rest of the country. theres a reason the u.s. Was the most powerful country in the world for so long and it wasnt because we were listening to illegals and minorities whine, it was because the red blooded american citizens ( black yellow purple and green white orange and "other") did what needed to be done to get the job done. now the aclu naacp and others continue to blame " the man " for  everything thats wrong now, the very same "man" who made this country happen and its a shame. the illegals should go home, and the whining minorities should apologize for undermining the rules our forefathers laid out with good intention, instead of abusing the system every which way possible.

I would feel bad, but I would take responsibility for my actions.  None of us are here on our own terms, we all have to follow the laws of any country we go to, or face the consequences.  I would NOT blame everyone else for my bad judgement, breaking the law. I would do what I could to be here legally.\n\nI don't think it is a matter of free speech, because our rights are reserved for the "legal" citizens of this country. I think it is not very smart to be doing something illegal,then making it known that you are doing it. People who are here illegally are breaking the law. There are steps that can be taken to be here legally and they should take them. It may be a difficult process, but as we all know Freedom isn't free, and if you want it bad enough, you should be willing to do what it takes to get it through legal means.\n\nThe protests of illegal people in this country bother me. I mean what would happen if child molesters decided to protest the laws against child molesting. We would all say, that's crazy! How can they be "in the wrong" and demand the laws be changed so that they can do what they want. I don't think it is right. The best way to resolve the problem is to make it prohibitive for illegal people to be here, and beneficial for legal immigrants to be here. Our laws are there for a reason, America is not a free for all...and if you want to be a part of its citizenry, then you must follow the laws like the rest of the citizens. \n\nWhat gets me is all these people using emotionalism and saying that "human rights" are being violated. How is it a violation of human rights to tell people who entered this country illegally, got jobs, and basically are squatters and cheaters that at long last, YOU MUST DO THE RIGHT THING! \n\nI think they do not understand what the definition of "Human Rights" is. They are not being treated inhumanely, they are actually fortunate. Because they are being treated as any other American Citizen who breaks the law. ACTUALLY they are being treated BETTER than any other American Citizen who breaks the law. How many U.S. citizens do you know, can break the law, admit to it, protest about it....and not be punished unless or until congress decides to re-write the law in an effort to be as fair to THEM as possible. Come on! Just because they took low paying jobs and work hard at them, does not mean that they are free to break the law. And if we allow them to do it, then the country they are so eager to live in will cease to be the country it is supposed to be. \n\nIf what illegal immigrants want to do is to work, raise families, and live in a free society. Then, follow the LEGAL process to do so, learn the language, and the culture, pay your taxes, and become an American the right way!\n\nDon't break the law and then scream victim! You are not victims. The tax payers who support social programs are victims; the people who migrate to this country and become legal citizens are victims. Illegal immigrants are people who made a "CHOICE" to do the WRONG thing, and think they should be excused or rewarded for that choice. I say WAKE UP; take responsibility for your actions, and GET LEGAL or leave.

Illegal immigration is against the law, and is therefore wrong. As for you, I've seen a lot of your answers, young lady, and you are bright and funny. Keep it up, and don't let these venomous knuckleheads get to you. You are better than they are - remember that! God Bless The USA!!! \n\nOld enough to know no good garbage when I see it, Banana Bean - you can bet your little brown butt on that. \nPS - GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!!

I think so, if i commited a crime, i should be punished, why are they different\n\nIsaque - I am not only talking of Latin immigrants, I am speaking of ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Key word Illegal. Illegal  = Crime. unless i am just wrong on that on, but as far as i know if someone tells me something is illegal and i go and do i just commited a crime.

Yes. Illegal immigrants flooding north east to get the hell outta Aztlan and into the U.S. It's not about the land that "we stole," it's about the infrastructure and social systems (education, health care, etc.) designed to help citizens that the illegals come for.

I don't live in your neighborhood, but it sounds like your question is really a statement. How do u know these people are undocumented? You are accusing all the business owners in your neighborhood of being undocumented drug lords. Where I live, you have to register a business and have permits, etc. I find it highly unlikely that all of them are undocumented. If it is true, keep pestering the authorities and call your local representative. Maybe you should consider moving.

Okay our legal justice system does perceive that there is a difference in certain offenses obviously you have them confused....How dare you to compare the heinous crime of raping someone (A felony) to the illegal immigrant to the date a (Misdemeanor -- to mean minor crime)

Yes they are hypocrites.  They totally disregard the law and then run to the law as a means to manipulate for their protection.  It's endless because there is never a sense of any self-responsibility for their actions.\n\nYa......boy I'd love to see the outcome of an invasion like this with China or Korea.  Just would not even be tolerated.  There wouldn't even be a chance to say the word racism or demand anything.

Absolutely not. This company was making an effort to abide by federal laws. Of course their are people who say that it is discriminatory, but they are the same people who are breaking federal laws. Two months to find a solution to a S.S.N. problem is more than enough time. these people are illegal aliens and should be deported upon discovery.

Send them back, they broke the law. If I broke the law I would be punished and so would you. We dont get amnesty so why should they? \n\nThe law is the law, be it a speeding ticket, murder or immigration violation. It has to be enforced. If we start sending them back and build a wall and patrol it then we will fix the problem.

There is no comparison. Civil rights  was for its citizens and illegals are not citizens to claim a right.
