Again, what part of "illegal" don't they understand? Oh, yeah, it's Mexico - "illegal" is a way of life - and the main source of income for them.

Note the new rhetoric, though. Proponents no longer use any phrase that refers to the legal status of non-citizens in the U.S. "Illegal aliens" became "undocumented workers", but now they're all "immigrants", with no differentiation between legal and non-legal immigrants (or immigrants vs. visitors, either, for that matter). So now to answer them, you have to come out against "immigrants", and there are a lot of Americans who are the children or grandchildren of legal immigrants.

Good catch. The Left changes the nomenclature to disguise its agenda. Bums become Homeless. Handouts become Entitlements. Liberal becomes Progressive. Illegal Alien becomes Migrant.

The Right needs to stress correct definitions in order to debate ideas.
