I'm with you. I'm not worried about the Mexican immigrants (legal or otherwise). I don't think they're all a bunch of rapists. I think most of them are just looking for a better life. I just think we have a lot bigger problems in this country to be dealing with first before we spend lots of time and billions of dollars trying to keep some poor Mexican immigrants from coming here to dig our ditches, or lay our hot asphalt, or clean our toilets, or mow our lawns.

None of us alive today had anything to do with that
So then we shouldn't have to follow them then...
Why do we need to enforce something we had nothing to do with?
I don't think there is such a thing as "preventable" crimes, that is a pipe dream.
It is that idea that will lead to the mass giving up its personal freedom, in order to "prevent" crime
Those laws are meant to protect us. It may be ok for you that people come here without a health or background check, but it's not ok with me. What Country doesn't have laws against illegally immigrating?

It takes thousands of dollars for illegals to come to the States, purchase false ID's and get set up. They are NOT poor, innocent refugees by any stretch of the imagination.
Yeah right. Many of them work the debt off once they get here they are practically slaves or at the very least indentured servants. Articles like this are used to purposely distort what Obama's immigration reform really is about. Bill O'Reilly does it all the time.
The United States Congress passed the Naturalization Law of 1802 on April 14, 1802 (2 Stat. 153) that directed the clerk of the court to record the entry of all aliens into the United States.The clerk collected information including the applicant's name, birthplace, age, nation of allegiance, country of emigration, and place of intended settlement, and granted each applicant a certificate that could be exhibited to the court as evidence of time of arrival in the United States. This act repealed the Naturalization Act of 1798.
I have never heard of a pedophile with only one offense.
If these people committed the same crime in their own country then we would not allow them to become citizens here.
It won't stop all children being abused, but would have saved many. Many of those precious children's lives would not be ruined today.

Yes you are correct there. It won't. Not by a looooooong shot.
Makes one wonder what the point of your post is.

Stop your nonsense. I never said they were all rapists. What is wrong with you people? You are being childish, hateful and absurd.
Many legal citizens have performed the same jobs by the way.

But that is not true, american citizens are doing this at the same rate...

The comments here are truly sickening. I'm trying hard to keep a form of decorum, so my reply may be short.
For starters, YES, as it stands today this country was formed on immigration. Legal immigration. And how inane some of you people truly are.
Onslaught's reply truly took the cake:
"Demand your children be molested by American grown pedophiles"
Are you this obtuse? Your arguments are filled with over emotional arguments. I dare say you're the poster child for political correctness. "It's OK these illegals rape children, I mean American's do it too". That's basically what you're saying.
The fact of the matter is, if these illegals weren't here, those children wouldn't have suffered. There's a reason why we have immigration laws, some are to make sure that people like this don't make it in. The fact of the matter is, is that these children could have been saved but weren't because idiots like the poster I mentioned above wants to be PC and turn a blind eye to something that could have been prevented but wasn't for "those poor minorities".

The article in your OP clearly implies such a thing. It leaves the reader with the impression that sexual molestation is rampant and out of control with illegal immigrants. I don't believe this is true.

I don't even need to read the rest of the thread to comment here.
Being an illegal immigrant doesn't make someone more likely to be a pedophile/sexual predator... All it makes you is someone who is in another country illegally. Child molestation happens by legal citizens all the same.
Do some illegal immigrants commit crimes? Sure. Since illegal immigrants are people just like anyone else, and some PEOPLE, regardless of citizenship status, do commit crimes.
I never ever said that being an illegal immigrant makes someone more likely to be a pedophile/sexual predator! Did I? No I did not.
Of course we have legal citizens abusing children as well. Where did I ever say they didn't? It still doesn't make it right that illegal immigrants are allowed in. These were preventable crimes.

Most sex crimes and rapes are not reported. I should think this fact to be much worse among undocumented workers, who are virtually unknown and have the option of running across the border if things get tough. And reporting molestation and rape would be less likely under the conditions of being without papers in the US. We've heard allot of congressional testimony in the past year about sexual assault of our female soldiers, having been slighted by the highest male authorities until they were literally forced to punish rapists by a presidential agenda and an entire congressional house.
Are you really being intellectually honest in believing as you do?
