My Mexican blood relatives would disagree with you. Illegal is illegal regardless of where they're from.
My whole point is that these Brit immigrants are NOT illegals.
And we’re doing the same thing here. The illegal Mexican thing will sort itself out with (a) the states and cities being forced to stop defying federal law and granting benefits and protection to illegal immigrants, (b) Mexico being forced to take some responsibility for its criminal emigrant population and (c) Mexico suddenly realizing (as it is doing) that it has entire towns where there are no longer any adult males.
But nobody is saying a word while we LEGALLY let in a ton of Muslims, supposedly “highly educated,” who are a heck of a lot more dangerous than a bunch of Mexican gardeners. I want us to control our LEGAL immigration policy. There is no way we should be letting these people in. The Brits did, and we can see how well that worked for them.
