In the US, immigrant workers contribute a significant part of the overall labor force. According to a recent study, approximately 7.2 million are illegal immigrants. On December 1, 2005, Bill HR4437 (Border Protection, Anti-Terrorism and Illegal Immigration Control Act) was passed by the US House of Representatives, by a vote of 239 to 182.

  • a lot of redneck comments on this page.

  • yes they are criminals

  • "it matters what words we use"

    --Oh, you mean like "illegal alien," or "illegal immigrant," or "undocumented immigrant," or "undocumented worker," or "undocumented citizen?" Those words? Notice the progression over the years. SO PLEASE, don't talk to me about semantics.

    "A jaywalker "

    --But that hypothetical lawbreaker belongs in this country, illegal aliens do not.

    "whether we should prohibit"

    --So you're saying the real question is should we allow illegal immigration? Oh, please.

  • @NoGuff Yet it matters what words we use. Criminal is used to stigmatize them to the fullest. A jaywalker is also a lawbreaker. To argue that illegal immigration is bad merely because it is illegal avoids the threshold question of whether we should prohibit this kind of immigration in the first place.

  • @poolerboy0077

    They are lawbreakers, no matter how you want to parse it.

  • @NoGuff Illegal aliens may or may not be. If one overstays a visa and become unlawfully present as a result, they are an illegal alien, but they break civil, not criminal, law.

  • INMIGRATION = INVASION

  • Immigrant worker steal peoples ID"S and cause great harm!!

  • Immigrants are not criminals. Migrant workers are not criminals. Illegal aliens ARE criminals.

  • I'm supposed to be sympathetic to these people that have invaded and taken jobs from legal American citizens..don't think so.
