Here's another reason to deport illegals - they're suing for getting arrested

No human being is "illegal", Inks.

because now that it's publically known that they're illegal - why shouldn't we.

Then undocumented immigrants who have genuine lawsuits that will not otherwise get placed will be deterred from placing them.

And yes a human can be illegal - it's an abbreviation for illegal immigrant.

I know the slang when it comes to this issue, pal, and it doesn't change what I said.  It is morally repugnant to label human beings as "illegal" solely because they have not gone through immigration offices--they are workers and families, not hard-bitten criminal scum.

[Ebowed]

Hard-bitten scum, no, but they're most certainly in violation of U.S. law.

So?  No one seems to be able to identify exactly what they're doing wrong by ignoring the US' oppressive, needlessly restrictive immigration laws.

[Ebowed]

I'm the decendant of a (supposed) illegal - so I have a right to say it.

No, you say it because you're a legalistic conservative.

Anyway - we shouldn't just stand by - and KNOW that there is an illegal - b/c they filed a lawsuit and allow them to stay here.  Otherwise, it'll lead to illegals filing frivolous lawsuits in order to remain here!

Who cares?  They can stay here if they want to.

[Ebowed]

Good analogy Smash!  People like Inks would have reacted to the civil disobedience of the oppressed blacks the exact same way they are reacting to undocumented immigrants fighting for their right to live here today.

[Ebowed]

Continuously accusing someone of a "straw man" without explaining why it is so is an indication that you're grasping at straws.

[Ebowed]

Deporting illegals isn't unconstitutional.

That's only your opinion, pal.
