Words matter, that’s why the left hijacks the language.
Illegal aliens cannot be immigrants because only those who apply to be immigrants can be immigrants. We have allowed the left (including the GOP) to confuse immigrants with illegal aliens for far too long. They do it on purpose and we should always refute it. They are illegal aliens, fraudulently documented foreigners, illegal invaders, border-jumpers, visa scofflaws, but they are not immigrants.
Can’t be, they did not apply to be one.
Illegals are lawbreakers.
