LIE #8: ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE “FORCED” TO COMMIT FELONIES
I always love when Leftists like Kevin de Leon, President Pro Tempore of the California General Assembly who proclaim that being an illegal here in the US makes it “necessary” to commit felonies. “I mean, how else are these poor illegals going to earn a living!?”
America’s political, media, civic, religious, and educational leaders try to justify illegal alien document fraud, perjury, and identity theft by arguing that the unauthorized workers are forced to commit these crimes in order to obtain jobs. For example, in 2006, when asked about illegal alien driven identity theft, former United States Representative Chris Cannon (R-Utah) replied: “This is a huge problem, that we sort of force people into.”
The Associated Press had earlier used the same rationale when its reporter wrote:
In 2004, the IRS got 7.9 million W-2s with names that didn’t match a Social Security number. More than half were from California, Texas, Florida, and Illinois, states with large immigrant populations, leading experts to believe they likely represent the wages of illegal immigrants. Even immigrants who use ITINs to file taxes are forced to make up a Social Security number when they get a job.
An editorial in the Deseret News (Utah) stated that the solution to illegal immigration would be to give illegal aliens a “work permit that keeps them from having to forge Social Security cards.”
Illegal aliens, who are used to operating in the often more corrupt systems of their home countries, do what is necessary to get the documents required to work in the United States. When asked why they violate American law, they justify their actions by saying that they had no other choice, that it’s just like the bribe to the policeman or to the corrupt government official in their home countries. For example:
“If I could do it again — I wouldn’t do it [buy an identity and Social Security number for $850], but the laws of this country force you to do it.” (emphasis added) This person had been convicted of identity theft and was being deported.
“You know, there’s a lot of people, they make documents and we buy them. That’s the only way you can work. It’s not legal, but what can you do?” The ID this person bought belonged to an IRS agent, which under Minnesota law is a criminal offense.
“We were working, we weren’t stealing,” she said although she had been convicted of identity theft.
“In Spanish, Ramos said all she wanted was a job and that she never knew the identity she was using actually belonged to another woman.” Ramos had used a stolen identity when hospitalized leaving the victim with a $17,000 bill and possibly life threatening, corrupted medical records.

Deport them
Illegals are running from a corrupted government ,and want to create a corrupted government here.
Your momma ?
The best thing to do to a illegal who murder innocent people is hang them by border !
Someone shoving c**p down your throats.
No DACA, No refugee resettlement, NO health care, NO voting, NO amnesty, NO path to citizenship, NO work visa, NO increase in legal immigration, NO drivers license, NO in state tuition, NO government assistance programs. Just say NO to ILLEGAL immigration and refugee resettlement. Secure our borders, enforce current immigration law, not the executive order version, pursue, capture, incarcerate and deport ALL illegal aliens.
If you sneak into this country or over stay your visa you are illegal!
Maybe not, but if you are unlawfully present on US soil your sneaky alien$#%&!@*is subject to deportation!
