Illegal immigrants should not have the same rights as U. S. citizens as many rights are reserved for those who are citizens of this country, especially the right to vote, carry U. S. passports, and not be deportable regardless of any crimes committed. However, basic rights should belong to all including not being discriminated against on the basis of color, being harassed by law enforcement for the same reason, or being denied housing or the ability to engage in commercial transactions by local municipal ordinances, etc. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
