How can "ILLEGAL" immigrants protest? Why aren't they arrested if they're ILLEGAL?

If I were an illegal in a country other than the USA, I wouldn't have the right to protest anything.

Well, first of all illegal immigrants and aliens are two completely different terms. Aliens can stay in the country legally and illegal immigrants can't. Here's some more info about it:\n\nIn law, an alien is a person who is not a native or naturalized citizen of the land where they are found. Types of "alien" persons are:\n\nAn alien who is legally permitted to remain in a country (which is foreign to him/her) on specified terms may be called a "legal alien" of that country. \nAn alien who has temporary or permanent residence in a country (which is foreign to him/her) may be called a "resident alien" of that country. \nA visitor with the legal right to visit a country (which is foreign to him/her) may be called a "nonresident alien" of that country. \nThe term illegal alien describes foreign nationals who are not allowed to stay in the country. (See illegal immigration) \nAn enemy alien is an alien who is designated as an enemy. (See enemy combatant).

Oh my god don't get me started on this subject.  I would love to start a group of people who rounded up illegal immigrants, tied them up, threw them into the back of a truck and then dropped them off in the middle of Mexico.  I don't mind immigrants.  But the ones who sneak in here illegally don't deserve to stay.  I'd love to go to a protest!

If there are illegals at the rallies they should be arrested. I do not think illegals should have any rights other than humane treatment while they are under arrest.

They wouldn't want to be accused of being used to 'chill' anyone's freedom of peaceful expression.  There were tons of legals at the march.  They had no more knowlegde from looking at the crowd who was and who was not an illegal immigrant than we did.  Realistically, they would have been barbequed if they had gone up to every person there and asked for ID to be in the country.  Besides, there is no law that says you have to carry ID when you protest, so what good would it do?  \n\nSome absences may have given them leads, or some businesses that closed may have confirmed suspicions, but they need some level of cause to accost someone.\n\nGood thing, too.  I'm against illegal immigration, but who wants to live somewhere where you can be detained just for doing what they did yesterday?

They don't, and that's the shame of it, our corrupt politicians are allowing our country to be invaded so they can establish the NWO-(New World Order) these outlaws that cross our borders illegally have 0, none, notta, zilch, not one right to even protest here.

Why even protest?  Just take over their country!  That way, they dont have to smuggle anybody here, and yet feel they are already part of the USA.

Illegal immigrants are no different than when someone commits other crimes such as shop lifting, pick pocketing, tax evasion, it's illegal.  I don't mean to sound cold hearted but the law is the law; there has to be equal importance to all laws, that's what this country was founded on.  I know that every one of our families at some point and time were immigrants, but they went threw the process of becoming an American citizen because they liked what the country had to offer.  Most people aren't fighting to keep certain people out, they're just looking for the laws that are in place to be in forced.  Like I state before if I can be put in jail for speeding which is breaking the law than the same should be enforced for illegal anything.

Because ILLEGAL means NOT LEGAL.

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.

Illegal immigrants are not Criminials. They have not committed crime. They simply entered the country without valid visa.or authority to cross the border. The entry can be legalized by authentication of their entry in the country. It is thus clear that they are not ciminals except that they have entered the country without valid permission.

Illegal immigrants are those who choose to go against the law.\nSlaves are forced to work by those who go against the law.

What part of Illegal dont you get? Dont make me laugh just think IS THERE ANYWAY FOR THEM TO GET HERE LEGALLY? \nJust think about it pake & jerry. If you were a little bit smart there wouldn't be much your so called illegals  because they'll be here legally. Now let's see if you two have a little bit of brain to know that someone that does not have documents is called undocumented UN as of NO Comprende? Not Illegal no body is illegal in the world and nobody in this world is Alien because we all are Earthlings because we live in Earth. SO WHY IS THIS SHIT GOING ON? Just Plain BS. Close-Minded Sensenbrenner. It seems America is just not a free-country anymore at least for people that are not white.

protest? like the many to "stop the war" ? protests dont work, dont bother with it. i never could see the point. i guess if it make a person feel good to get something off their chest fine, but dont stop traffic, make alot of noise or involve other ppl who dont give a rats ass about ur cause. as for ur question...go to a city official, police dept or something so they know about it and get set an area for u and ur fellow protesters and dont break the law. dont throw crap, dont vandalize, someone usually will go to far anyway and then think did they are a martyr if they get arrested.

I am a legal immigrant and I respect the laws of US as much as US respects the laws of my country. Why should we immitate the  aliens' cheap way of proving that Americans aren't that smart to raise America's economy without their illegal presence? \n\nAmericans fought hard to claim this country and be the dominant one. Illegal immigrants have to help their own countries first before proving something to the Americans. \n\nAmericans don't have to march/ protest because this is your own country. Just live on and kick the illegal immigrants out.\n\nIf there will be a protest against the illegals, it should be on Thanksgiving Day, celebrate the important day of Americans.

The current protests are ABSOLUTELY anarchy. It is not very smart to be doing something illegal, then making it known that you are doing it by shouting it out in a protest. \n\nPeople 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\nWhat 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.
