>>>>>Indeed. Regardless of how you feel the country should deal with the undocumented aliens, I'm curious what definition of "criminal" fails to include those who have violated our laws by entering the country illegally.

>>>>Mine doesn't. To me criminals are murderers, rapists, robbers, drug dealers. Dangers to society, if you will. I do not view illegal immigrants as dangers to society, only people seeking a better life for themselves and their families. If we had more reasonable citizenship quotas, especially for Mexicans, I might get more concerned about it than I am.

>>>To quote the dictionary:

>>>Illegal: "unlawful; illegitimate; illicit; unlicensed. Illegal, unlawful, illegitimate, illicit, criminal can all describe actions not in accord with law"

>>>Just because they don't fit into your category doesn't make them legal. They're criminals the moment the cross the border without proper documentation.

>>>And, you said "I do not view illegal immigrants as dangers to society". I certainly consider them a danger to society.

>>>1) Crime rates among illegals are higher than other groups.
>>>2) Their existance in the US causes me and my family harm

>>The crime rate among illegals is 100%.

>Agreed. Although I meant after they get to the US.

Aside from the immigration violation. OK. I just didn't want you to start sounding like one of the folks who says illegal immigrants are not illegal :p
