    Being here illegally, they should have NO rights in this country. Go through the proper procedures like everybody else.

    Good.

    Makes fucking sense anyway.

    Edited:



    Uh no. Sorry.

    2nd Amendment to the Bill of Rights: The Right to Bear Arms reads as follows.
    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

    The key phrase there is "the people", which refers to the people of the united states as coined in the very beginning of the united states constitution, which reads

    "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

    "We the People of the United States"

    Illegal Immigrants are not 'People of the United States', they are people of their home nation. If they're Mexican immigrants they are People of the United Mexican States. If they're Cuban immigrants, they are People of the Republic of Cuba, etc.

    They do not become "People of the United States" until they gain citizenship, in which case whether or not they may garner civil rights from the United States Constitution is up to the law and our court system.
    Up next, foreigners here legally with Visas get thrown in jail for exercising freedom of speech! At which point they are not provided a public defender and are held for years before being arraigned.

    who are they harming by being here illegally. why do they deserve to be demonized. why does the government have the right to tell people where they can and can not be
    Something called taxes, and rights, and not paying the same taxes we are and stuff. The list goes on.

    If they're here legally and they have a visa or legal documentation that permits them to be here, then they are here at the behest of the united states government and are assured the same rights as a US Citizen.

    It is only when they are here illegally, without consent or request from the US Government, that they should not and technically do not have these rights.

    Let them come here legally. Change the law to allow anyone to waltz across the border with the whole drug war in Mexico. That'll sure help things. Maybe I would shut up then.

    Which is as it should be. I'm sorry if I sound harsh and I don't mean to be an asshole about it but we have a big enough pool of unemployed unskilled people without adding illegal immigrants to the mix.

    Especially when they don't pay taxes, don't contribute to our economy, reap the benefits of our economy regardless, and are often given jobs that our own citizens could get because tax evading freeloader farm owners and other such people hire them at half the minimum wage.

    Free schooling for illegal immigrants? That is rather rare.

    Both driver's licenses and school applications require documentation proving your history.

    Yep, MSNBC had an article recently where they were trying to petition for this illegal immigrant from God knows where to get a job as a lawyer. Really? A criminal practicing law??? What the fuck. They know he's here illegally yet they don't ship him back. Sure it's sad but life sucks. If he's smart enough to practice law, he can get a fucking green card and get here legally. I know people from the Dominican Republic that came here with absolutely nothing but got a green card. If they can do it, anybody can do it. Anybody can do whatever the fuck they want. People are way too fucking empathetic, and it's bullshit.

    Why the fuck should someone who ISN'T supposed to be here get identification and a job when there are millions of US CITIZENS, who should COME FIRST, that don't have either?

    there's just as much a point for an illegal to own a gun as there is for a legal to own a gun

    Edited:

    idk maybe if I hated brown people I would be able to understand your viewpoint better
    when you're right you're really right

    but when you're wrong.. it's just terrible

    also was this actually an issue? i always figured illegal immigrants couldn't legally get guns in the first place, i'm surprised a court ruling would actually be news to anyone

    the world doesn't work based on come firsts.
    if an illegal immigrant wants to go to school and drive legally why would you stop that?

    unless you resent them which is stupid, it doesn't do anyone any good.

    How can somebody not even legally in the country, legally obtain a government issued document? When I got my license, I had to show my birth certificate and social security card, or resident card. Illegals don't have any of the last two.

    Hey, if they're willing to do the jobs Americans for half the cost they fucking earned it as far as I'm concerned.
    And you say they don't contribute to the economy? Bullshit. They keep product prices low because their employers don't have to pay as much in labor costs. You should be thanking them. Your standard of living wouldn't be nearly as good as it is now if it weren't for illegals.

    Working illegals, as Gunfox already pointed out, actually end up paying more in income tax than their bracket would permit were they legal.

    The government gets more money in taxes from an illegal immigrant working a job than a legal resident working the same job.

    Why do people even have to go through so much trouble to legally immigrate? You can be born in this country and not have to file tons of documents, prove your experience, and wait a decade before being a citizen. Why should an adult have to do the same? If they can follow the laws, pay their taxes, etc... let them live here.

    The time and effort we waste on policing immigration is ridiculous. Imagine if we had the same level of restriction between the states.

    How can somebody not even legally in the country, legally obtain a government issued document? When I got my license, I had to show my birth certificate and social security card, or resident card. Illegals don't have any of the last two.
    They usually fake the documents, either for the DMV, or the license itself, depending.

    I'm going off of anecdotes I've read from illegal immigrants. I don't think faking documents to the DMV is at all common, but faking other documents is probably fairly common for places where there is unlikely to be a background check, like for entering the school system.

    This really has nothing to do with a person being illegal or deserving a weapon or not, the second amendment simply does not cover a non-citizen of the United States.

    A point was brought up that was dumbed-down, but it's perfectly correct. Illegal immigrants, as human beings, possibly have a need for a weapon for self-defense and whatnot. What makes this impossible for them is that they are not covered by the second amendment to the Bill of Rights (which shouldn't apply to normal citizens anyway, but not going to go down that road).

    No anti-illegal hate necessary.

    I don't need to cite laws. They are in this country illegally which means they have no status. They have no rights, they aren't paying taxes and can do whatever the fuck they want. Your stance is "boo fucking hoo, they're poor and they came from Latin America, therefore they have nothing. Let's sympathize and give them everything they want because this is America." Ya know what? That attitude is part of why taxes suck right now and why the debt is high.

    Either they have legit documents from being legal immigrants, or they're passing fake documents, or they don't do the thing that requires legal documents. Seems pretty straightforward. Maybe I misunderstood what was being asked.

    Yes it does.

    The Constitution and all of its amendments are things the government CANNOT do (to ANYONE in this country), not things citizens CAN do.

    Edited:

    If you're trying to tell me what the goddamn law says, you need to cite the goddamn law.

    See, this is the part where it becomes obvious that you've never even read a piece of legislation in your life and you're just pulling this "It's the law!" bullshit directly out of your ass.

    Find the law you're referring to or stop hiding behind it.

    "The People" usually refers to anyone, not citizens, so the 2nd amendment makes no specification about who can have weapons. Why aren't non-citizens covered?
