Just because it is a law doesn't make it right. Everything that Nazi Germany did to the Jews (and others) was LEGAL. The law said they could do it, it doesn't make it just.
Your comparison with car jackers, muggers, etc, isn't and apples to apples comparison. They are actually hurting people by doing that, they are committing crimes against people and property. People entering this country illegal are not committing crimes against people or property. Sure some of them do live the life of a criminal in their actions, but the majority of them are hard working people that live by the rules of our society.
I am not saying we should let anyone into this country but putting up a gazzillion dollar fence is not going to do anything. Getting citizenship is not cheap, really only those who are wealthy are the only ones that can afford to do it. They are the ones that are going to take "your jobs", because they are educated and capable of the jobs you and I want. The people that cannot afford to get their citizenship are doing the work that, most of us will not do. I don't know about you but I like buying strawberries for $2. If we deported all these "law breakers" and we were doing that work, we would be paying probably $10, hell $14 if it were a union job. I cannot and will not pay that. I do not think we should grant amnesty.
Ah, but they are hurting people and families in the worst way.
If you are a roofer, you make 18 dollars an hour.
Here comes 2 illigals. They are willing to do your job for 8 dollars an hour each. You are fired, they are hired. Your whole family suffers.
Those 2 illigals get together with 4 other illigals and move into a house. That way they can pay their bills and send money home. The area they moved into now has to deal with the 6 cars, plus all their friends trying to park also.
Now, what do you do?
Do you let your family loose their house and their futures?
No, you move to an area where you can support your family. You don't have 6 pay checks supporting you.
Now you have left the area. Here comes the liberals.
They point out that there are now no roofers in the area to do the work, therefore you have to grant the 6 illigals amnesty so they can do the work.
This is EXACTLY what is happening in this country.
The legal workers have been displaced by the illigal workers. If you want work and don't want to or can't move, you will work at the lower wage or go without work.
When they did the amnesty in 86 they said they had to. They needed the workers to take up the crops and do the labor the americans didn't want to do. Guess what happened??
Do you think they stayed working in the fields?
Did they move on and compete for the better paying jobs??
You bet they moved onto better jobs, and here comes the next wave of invaders to take the jobs they left.
No they don't live by the rules of our society.
They demand we speak their language.
They demand we respect their way of life (the life they brought with them).
They demand we teach their childeren the way they want us to.
They demand free medical.
They demand we give all their relatives medicaid, medicare etc. At the expense of our relatives.
They refuse to obey our laws.
They refuse to fly our flag. They demand we fly their flag.
In my town they tried to force the school to teach all classes in spanish.
They demanded we print all our signs in spanish.
The list of the BS goes on and on.
We went to war because 3000 people were killed on 9/11.
Since 9/11 over 60,000 americans and legal immigrants have been killed by illigals. Our governments solution to the problem? make the illigals american citizens. Then it is alright to kill other americans.
