Illegal aliens outside the White House demand sit at the table: Are they asking for too much or simply demanding a fair shake?

Question

Illegal immigrants plan to picket the White House Monday afternoon, calling on fellow immigrant-rights advocacy groups to refuse to meet with the Obama administration until President Obama specifically includes illegal immigrants in any future meetings.

“We are among the millions of people who will either benefit or be harmed by the decisions the President makes, and we are here to represent ourselves in any future negotiations,” said Rosi Carrasco, one of organizers, in a statement announcing the action.

Answer 1

why not go to the golf course, they have more chance of seeing him there.

Answer 2

I cannot think of another country that would allow a non-citizen (Much less one that is here illegally.) to see their leader.



Furthermore, currently the USA accepts more immigrants than any other country in the world. As a matter of fact, nearly all member countries of the G7 have set strict standards that specify who can immigrate to their country. If any applicant does not have a valuable skill and the ability to speak the native language of the country, that person applying is not allowed. Criminal records would be reviewed at this point too.



Lastly, that person would have to be medically screened and would have to pass a physical of some sort. The USA is right to ensure that we are not allowing a serious public health threat in to the country.



So, people can point fingers at the US and say what ever they want. But the facts are that the US is the most lenient country in welcoming immigrants and has no need to let a bunch of people to entered our country illegally in so they can demand the same rights as citizens.

Answer 3

I doubt there are very many countries in the world you could just walk into as an alien and ask for citizens rights. It's not a fair situation, but once that starts to happen countries count for nothing.

Answer 4

An interesting question, but one with no simple answer.



If they aren't citizens, why should they be included in our representative government? And yet, if our government is based on the supposition that all men are created equal, why should we limit that equality to citizens? And yet, if someone isn't yet a citizen, there is not even the basest indication that they are invested in our society, so even if they are equal, why should we given them the privilege of having a say? And so on.



In short, on one hand I like the idea of holding to our ideals to the extent of including illegals. But on the other hand, I don't see how that could be actually viable.

Answer 5

Too much.
