Why does the political left refuse to differentiate between legal immigration and illegal immigration?

Whenever they discuss the issue they always throw out the red herring about how this is a country of immigrants.

Why do they act like there’s no difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration?

    Liberals are totally irrational.

    If you doubt me, try to have a rational discussion with them.

    See how soon they make illogical statements like the one you just pointed out or they resort to blaming, catagorizing, finger pointing and name calling.

    There is plenty of all that on this site.

    I haven’t defined immigration in that way.

    Maybe you see what you want to see because this is news to me, try again.

    Why does the political right get upset when legal immigrants wish to keep their language and culture?

  5. Reincarnate 5

    Because in their world there is no difference. That electric kool aid is some bad stuff.

    Some things are illegal because they are inherently bad (e.g. murder, rape).

    Some things are illegal because they are simply prohibited (e.g. failing to get a permit for your kitchen remodel).

    Which one is "illegal immigration"?

    Hey a vote is a vote legal or not.

    Because their bleeding hearts have left them low on blood, which has affected their brain and ability to reason.

    We aren’t refusing to differentiate. We’re just saying that due to our own roots, maybe we shouldn’t be so harsh on the illegals. After all, it’s not like we’ve been taking border security very seriously since Reagan granted amnesty. We’re partly responsible for making illegal border-crossing so easy.

    Muddies the water . Political drama .

    Because they liketo confuse and misdirect, so people are not aware of their actual agenda. Unfortunetly it does not seem to be working for them anymore.

  12. Peace through blinding force

    They DO differentiate.
    ALL Democrats demand legal immigration be balked and that hostile criminal infiltrators be given special privileges available to no one else.

    First, you’re not understanding what the left is saying. They do differentiate. However, there is a legal definition, and a practical definition. The right is working in a dream world where we can afford to deport or imprison all the illegals, and they looks great on a billboard but isn’t realistic at all.

    The left, in this case, is working in reality. The right is living a dream.

    Maybe they hve a language problem. The sure like to change the meaning of things.

  15. m185

    Because they do not value citizenship or totally devalue any responsibilities that citizenship used to have. Or, more disturbingly, the left only supports laws that they desire.

    It beats what McCain tried to do. You, of all people, should know this Mr. Romney:

    outside of the dog- we don’t get mad when they want to keep their own language or culture. we get mad when they refuse to learn english.

    Plenty of democrats believe illegal immigration is a problem that needs to be solved and the borders should have tighter regulation – of course, unlike the republicans, we don’t pretend to know how to get all of the people already here back to their country. Illegal immigrants don’t have tracking devices on them when they cross the border.

  19. Chupate esa!

    We don’t but maybe we are not that simpleton when things are not that simple…

  20. t

    Simple Answer, because the illegals are Potential votes, no ifs ands or buts about it!

    Rescue America 2010
    REPEAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL HEALTHCARE LEGISLATION 2011
    NOBAMA 2012!!!!!

    Maybe because they’re all PEOPLE, and they fact that they are here means we need to figure out how to make them into tax paying citizens. The idea that we’re going to deport 10 million people is asinine and the only "plan" the GOP has except for building a long, tall fence.

    That idea must have come from Mrs. Smith’s third grade classroom.

  22. RitchWilliams

    Um, because it doesn’t serve their agenda. But then, reality never does.

    @Brooklyn: Getting rid of them is easy and inexpensive. Deny them work and the generous social programs that support them and they WILL leave. It really isn’t that hard, but our government, along with complicit local governments continue to encourage and support illegal populations. (Sanctuary cities ring a bell?)

  23. Me-owww

    They like to pull the race card anytime they can.

    I have more than a few friends who came to this country THE RIGHT WAY! They applied for their Visa and waited. Now they are TRUE citizens. I have great respect for them and their efforts to become LEGAL AMERICANS. The majority of illegal immigrants are uneducated and poor…that’s why they come here…to take the jobs we won’t do. The fact that they are poor and uneducated means they need help to reach the "American Standard." Liberal Democrats are all about leveling the playing field…the more these illegals need help the more it advances a socialist agenda. Illegal immigrants make the Democrats look good, as Samaritans, it’s an ego boost to them as well…but we know the TRUTH!

    it is just their normal play/twist on words
    you know such as: stealing and taking

    freedom of speech only if you are politically left….if not it is call hate speech

    and we ALL know that the dems and left depend on criminal minded people to vote for them anyway

  26. blue317

    1. They are corrupt.

    3. They hate America.
    4. They will protect people of color, laws doesn’t matter.
