It would be a risk if you dare to hire illegal immigrants as workers. Would it be a risk if you be friend with some illegal immigrants? It would be a hard decision, don't you think so? But nonetheless, human beings are human beings, they are also human beings too, and I won't mind to make friends with them, as long as they don't commit crimes. They were just try to make a living here, and there is nothing wrong to be friend with them. What do you think?

I think there's no a problem for being friend with an illegal immigrant. No matter what, illegal immigrant is also human. Friendship is human right. So there's no any law can limiting our friendship coverage. We can be friend with everyone, no matter what is their background. I think it's unfair if there's someone looked down on an illegal immigrant only because that illegal immigrant is breaking the immigration law. Sometimes something happened is not like how its looked. Just considered if we are that illegal immigrant and there's no one want to be our friend, then how's our feel? Open our mind and open our heart. Human is human, no matter where are they come from, and no matter what is their status. If we can really appreciating a friendship, and if we've being friend with illegal immigrant, i think we can give that person a right understanding if being illegal is not good. I think everything can be talked in this world. If we can help that illegal immigrant by giving advice and become legal immigrant, then it's a kindness. Good luck and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

Some people don't want to make friend with illegal immigrant because of law in their country. Some country have a very strict law regarding this matters. Here, we have a law that if you rent you house to illegal immigrant, your could be fine RM5000 for each illegal immigrant stay there and jailed. It is nothing to do with their status to accept a friends. Some local people had a bad habit and do crimes.

According to me I don't care if someone is illegal immigrant or not I just consider the human side of the individual. When it comes to Friendship, I really don't care who he is to the world, may be a goon to the world, but I will only consider how good is that person & how good he is with me. After all its all about a good heart.

I am totally on your side. Honestly, even with people have legal status here. Some people, especially whites, they won't consider treat you as a friend. They might look at you with disgust or something like that.

Hi clorissa,
There is a lot of illegal immigrant here in my country. Most of them came here honestly to earn some money. But there are also a few bandit that come only to make a crime. They don't want to work hard but want the easy money.
I have a few friends that I knew they are illegal immigrant but the good one. They never commit any crime (except for being an illegal immigrant
). They work hard to earn some money here and send it back to their family in their villages.

Being friendly with someone who is an illegal entrant to a country is no crime so long ur not helping him to stay longer and do illegal things. Merely keeping friendly relation with no commitment is ok. On the other hand, if u really feel for him and his plight, u might counsel him to go back to his country or try to legalise his stay in the same country...thx
