The MSM defining the terminology of the argument continues unabated. Is there no one left who does not now refer to the millions of annual southern border-jumpers as “illegal immigrants” or “poorly documented” —a term that is a lexicological contradiction?

Now the media is trumpeting that lack of documentation is only a “civil” matter—not a “criminal” one, so don’t get your panties in a twist! Guess what, all those millions of illegals are just illegal on a technicality. Once the docs are located they will all be “Americans with papers”.

Immigration is by definition a legal process. The “immigration” process is alive and well in America, ask anyone in a foreign country who is trying to come to America the right way and to contribute their skills and abilities to the goal of sustaining our nation, and to actually becoming Americans. If anything, they pay an awful price to go through that process, in terms of time, money, and frustration.

Not so the Mexican and Muslim border-jumpers to whom the U.S.Senate believes fealty is owed by the taxpayers of the U.S. And for whom praising the President of Mexico and giving him a standing ovation for his attack upon Arizona’s defense against Mexican-inspired lawlessness and illegal occupation of sovereign U.S. territory is only second nature. A Congress loaded with America-haters. And yes, let’s continue strip-searching our own people at the airports. How did we ever end up like this?
