Apparently we should call them “Macho Men”.

This particular issue ~ modifying "immigrant" with "illegal" occurs only in Spanish.

In English the subject is "illegal alien", not "illegal immigrant" ~ since everybody knows you have to have an immigration visa to be an immigrant. If you don't have one and you don't have any kind of other visa, then you are simply an "illegal entrant" or "illegal alien", and both phrases are treated as nouns ~ reading "noun phrase" and "non clause" is in order.

The man's arguments in English are total nonsense. In Spanish they might make more sense simply due to the need to make subject and adjective agree with common suffixes.

English is far more flexible than Spanish. Time this illegal alien learns that!

I prefer to call them alien invaders. Immigrants would have crossed our border and entered into U. S. territory openly AND legally.

Deport them all and build the fence, then we’ll never mention them again.

"A wealthy Hispanic executive who makes a fortune dealing with the Hispanic market is on the march to eradicate the term “illegal immigrant.”

Me too.

I always thought "wetback" worked just fine...

Rich Hispanic Exec Wants to Eradicate The Term ‘Illegal Immigrant’

Let's also eradicate the terms or "murder" and "rape".

I guess the NEW belief is that if you pretend it doesn't exist that it will just fade away while everyone is watching "dancing with the stars".

Nope it is a correct adjective to describe what kind of immigrant is being discussed.

It’s just trying to control the language. So we must never stop using the term.

Oh, I agree.

Let’s just go back to calling them “Wet-Back’s”!

Illegal alien is too PC for me.
“Undocumented immigrant” just makes my blood boil.

My “Immigration Reform” is simple, just strictly enforce the existing law, regardless of “Race” or country of origin.
Deport EVERY illegal alien invading POS.

To some, illegal might mean sick bird. To me, illegal means not legal. It’s not complicated.

I’d like the term eradicated also. Wetback is the proper name

If Charles Patrick Garcia will spend his money keeping illegals OUT of our country we won't have to call them anything... That's the answer. Figure out a way to keep them in their own countries...

Illegal alien seems more proper, or genocidal invader, which is what they really are.

he is correct on one count - the word “immigrant” means one who is legally resident in the country.

The term “illegal alien” best describes - or “wetbacks!”
