I find this "because it is a crime" to be the most insipid and stupid of all the anti-immigration arguments.

Is this the famous shut-down-the-discussion-with-rudeness technique?

Intelligent discussion relies on proof and logic, rather than belittling the personality and intellect of your opponent.

More to the point, this mental midget insists on continuing to insist that there is no distinction between legal and illegal immigration, by his mindless use of the unqualified word, "immigration".

No, it is a response to the usual one line responses on immigration threads that go. "because it is a crime", "what part of illegal do you not understand", "because they are criminals", etc.
