Let's not confuse your immigration agenda with homeland security. Name one of the 9/11 terrorists that entered this country illegally?
Which ones?.
One is, indeed, most of the people who were here, most of the hijackers were here illegally, not legally, because they fraudulently produced documents to get their visas. The visas were frauds to begin with, making them illegal aliens in this country.
Secondly, many of them had overstayed their visas or were doing something here that was not allowed under the visa, making them illegal aliens in this country. So, indeed, they were illegal.
Thirdly, there are far more members of 9/11 families who oppose this bill because the provisions we are talking about here are missing; those provisions to secure our borders are missing. Far more oppose this bill in its present form than support it.
Are you series? What's your point?
Doesn't matter if they entered illegally. They overstayed their visas. Functionally still illegal immigrants.
