[I cannot think of a name]

I’ve posted this before and I do believe it. Illegal immigrant is incorrect. Think of it using the following example:

A shotgun with an eight inch barrel is illegal. The person pointing it at a bank teller is a criminal.

Therefore:

Criminal immigrant is really the correct phrase.

“A shotgun with an eight inch barrel is illegal.”

And uncontrollable, too! But a shotgun with an eighteen inch barrel is perfectly legal. Add 1/4” to be on the safe side.

Anyway, Jan Brewer is one gutsy lady. Shield her if you’re a gentleman, follow her if you’re a soldier. But don’t ignore her, that would be an insult.

Criminal immigrant is really the correct phrase.

No, the correct term for somebody who crosses a border in defiance of the government of the country he's entering is "invader".
