If I were you I would report them. Hopefully with the Donald you have a leader who is willing to do something about illegals, I wish we had someone hear who was prepared to do the same.

My comment is based on those facts and does not suggest anyone lives under a rock.
Is this neighbor a danger to you, your children, your grandchildren? Does the neighbor have a job? Is the neighbor quiet? Has this neighbor caused you any problems? Is this neighbor keeping their property maintained?
Might you have friends or relatives who have caused more trouble, heartache and/or financial stress to others than this neighbor has or ever will? Maybe this is a chance to show a little compassion/understanding to another human being? Maybe? Maybe not? Things to consider.....calmly, without anger or self-righteousness. ("Why am I reporting this person"?)

This person is residing in the US illegally.
My history doesn't alter this fact.
I apologize, sincerely, for misinterpreting your comment about "feeling". That is my error.
My question was answered by Flip and Clonge.
I haven't given a thought to what I should or should not do, nor ranted about it.
It was a simple question, and those two guys answered me directly.
I can see how you may have misinterpreted what I meant in this statement. Your feelings about this situation are obviously torn. I can sense that and obviously, so can others, the "others" being members here on aka who have weighed in on your question, and whose comments I have read and re-read. We've all said similar things to you about this situation, often conveying, or trying to convey, the same idea. Ultimately, the decision is yours and I hope you make the one that lets you sleep at night. Life is too short.

....do they take more than they provide ?
....does our drug culture (citizens) take more than they provide ?
....what is the measure/tolerance for charity dealing with lawbreakers ?
....have our current laws ever been enforced ?
....opinion : if you want concrete answers eliminate greed.........fat chance
....you have your answer
That's a tough one. Is the information credible? You have no legal obligation to report it. How long has the neighbor been here? What citizenship does he/she have? A family here ...or there? What might be the ramification(s) if sent back? Many more questions could be conjured up, based upon the circumstances.

The circumstances are, my neighbor is residing here illegally. Do I look the other way?
Having spent a lot of money and effort in a failed attempt to get my wife's son and his family here to live with us, I would say..... when the USA has a fair way for people to immigrate here legally, leave the illegals alone unless they are not attempting to support themselves and live by our laws.

What the theme seems to be is to ignore the crime if the neighbor is a "good" person, but nobody seems willing to endorse illegal residency, nor condemn it.
It's interesting.
It disappoints me your wife's family was denied lawful immigration while we have so many clamoring to endorse illegal residents.
I am just wondering how you found out your neighbor is here illegally? Have they been here a long time? Where you live there are many illegals as there are here too(Michigan) Years ago I did report to my employer about a group they had hired who all had the same ss number. I can say that many younger folks who are here illegally seem to be helping the US but it is not legal. To make a choice to report or not is something I am glad I don't have to make. The choice is yours. You will have to live with the consequences of your action.

You should really worry about the registered sex offender down the street. Reporting wont do anything. Police wont do anything unless he/she commits a crime.

If a legal refugee comes through the front door of Aussie to become an Aussie,then that is good and right..if he comes through the back door.then he takes the place of a refugee sitting in a camp waiting for his chance to be legally accepted into a country..as cold and callous as it SEEMS to the illegal person,,the legal person that gets his chance from one of the camps to have a real and prosperous life,,,would be on bended knee kissing your hand with gratitude...so from them eyes,,yes Bob,,report him or her..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
