Well, it's obvious where this is going. Personally, I don't care how they dress it up, I refuse to use any other term than illegal alien, because that is exactly what they are! If that makes them feel bad, maybe that's a good thing. A person'ts conscience should condemn them when they are commiting crimes and usurping privileges not rightfully theirs. If they don't like it, tough! I'm not going to try to make them feel better about stealing from my country.
