I was listening to a local talk show yesterday afternoon and one thing I picked up on is that people don’t know the difference between ‘illegal’ immigrant and ‘immigrant’...

The lady that called in said that it is a shame that these ‘immigrant’ people come in and work and live like we all do, and now President Trump wants to send them home...

The host of the show tried to explain to her that President Trump is not talking about ‘immigrants’ he’s talking about ‘illegal’ immigrants, she was having no part of that situation...

So I got to thinking, and went back and read what this bill is they are fighting about and it is plain to see it is ‘illegal’ immigration and not ‘immigration’ so somewhere in all this mixed up mess, the message is getting lost, and I blame the media for purposely doing this...

We need to educate on this every chance we get...

‘illegal immigrant’: someone who comes into our Country without apply for a visa to become an American Citizen...

‘legal immigrant’: someone who has come to our Country, gotten a visa and taken American Citizenship...

The Libs have worked to define all entry = legal immigration.

Indeed, the number of people not differentiating immigrants who circumvent the law to enter illegally is staggering.

Akin to the joke “i wish people were more tolerant, kind, and generous; no more of this ‘who are you? get the hell out of my bed!’ stuff.”

Add to that the fact that RULE OF LAW is not an emotional thing

Citizenship is not automatically connected with immigration. Many people will legally be in the US with a long-term green card, but don’t plan to become citizens.

Your point stands, though, that there is a vast difference between illegal and legal immigration.

No, there is no such thing as an “illegal immigrant”

the term is ILLEGAL ALIEN and they come into our country without first applying for permission or a visa to ENTER...

I wish President Trump would call them illegal aliens...
