The strategy of the anti-immigrants has depended a great deal on semantics.

One example, if you are not for deportation, then you are for illegals.

Good example. Another would be that if you are for a "guest worker" program that is so generous for mexicans that very few would ever even momentarily feel the need to jump the border, then you are against illegal immigration.

That almost sounds as though favor amnesty for those who have broken the immigration laws ... in fact, flaunt them continually by bringing their relatives to enjoy the "good life" too.

I don't.
