cmaD2006 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 [quote name='FuturePriest387' timestamp='1344378693' post='2464173'] I think crime is not a racial issue. Every color of skin is susceptible to committing crime. However, if you have a past of breaking laws, you have a tendency to continue doing so. I'm not saying every illegal immigrant is going to kill you and steal five dollars out of your pocket without a second thought, but this is simply the way things go. Virtue begets virtue, vice begets vice. I was rather irritated when I said "unimaginably", because I am sick of people laughing at the population of Kansas and looking at it as an inferior thing (I'm not saying that's what you did or think, that's just the impression I got), so "unimaginably" is the wrong word. However, there is a rather large population of illegal immigrants there. I'm not sure where you got your percentages, but they are not very accurate, according to what I have been told by actual people from Dodge City. My EMT/Fireman friend from Dodge City says a lot of the time when he is on call the immigrants can't even speak English. [/quote] FP -- you should have some experience in the matter before speaking up this way. I am quite active in a spanish speaking parish -- where I will assume that there are illegal immigrants (because of the fact that it is a spanish speaking parish in the US, not in say Puerto Rico or in a Latin American country). Again ... just because a person's immigration status is illegal it does not necessarily mean that the person is not law abiding. I had the experience of being in another country ... and I had to push my religious community at the time to get my paperwork done. Otherwise, yes, I too would have been an illegal immigrant in another country. My good friend, unluckily, did not get her paperwork done by the community (as they should have) and she had to pay a fine to leave that country in order to go back to hers.[quote name='FuturePriest387' timestamp='1344381942' post='2464188'] Well, this is a common misconception, and you are right.
