Now, I am in a position - should I report them? Morally, it is wrong because they are just here for a "better life", however... am I contradicting myself and my beliefs? My mind says "report", my heart says "let it go". She hapens to be the locker right next to mine - I will see her almost every day.
Why would it be immoral to report a criminal. "they are just here for a better life" could be applied to many criminals. He robbed the bank so he could have a better life. He killed that guy because the other guy was preventing him from enjoying his own life to the fullest. Where are any poor morals involved in reporting a crime?

Would it not be more ethical to support the laws of your country? Is it not unethical for someone to break laws (not speaking of oppressive or other laws that are not for the betterment of society). Would it not actually be unethical for you to refrain from from aiding in the implementaion of those laws?

Unless you have actual reason to believe the family are illegally in this country, you have no reason to report this. If you wish to investigate to determine the truth and then act accordingly, that is a different situation.

and no, many illegal immigrants do not hide from society. They often find methods to utilize government resources. Those actions themselves are often criminal acts. So we have an escalation of crimes to remain in our country. Where does it stop?

and to this:
How about you help answer those questions, versus flaming me and calling me racist because she told me she entered with an illegal visa?
Do you think it might have been important to include this bit of info in your origianl post. While you respond to your answered morality questions negatively, you failed to inform any that you had actual reason to believe they are here illegally.

Due your civic duty and report them.
