Did you even read the title? This whole thing is about illegals. He didn't call them illegals because as he put it he "might have to run for office" and was trying to be "civil".

No, see his post to me above. Let HIM speak for what he meant.

I didn't mean illegals in my second sentence. I truly meant all immigrants.

From my post #24:

My "second sentence" would include those that come here both legally and illegally. Many of those coming here illegally are just trying to help their families survive so "brightest" and "hard working" may not apply to them.

My follow-up statement with regard to being "civil" is merely accomodating my full realization that there is a segment of immigrants who are here to survive and those in that segment may not be particularly "bright" and/or "hard working."
