“At the end of the day, every single undocumented immigrant in this country is a person. “

So are rapists, murderers, child molesters, and blog writers who don’t understand what illegal aliens are, do, and what laws they are in violation of.

“Here, let you manipulate your mind and convince you that words means whatever I want them to mean ...”

Illegal alien is a precise and correct term. We will continue to use it.

Illegal alien is the proper term.

All the other euphemisms are used to obscure the fact that these people broke into our country or overstayed a visitor visa.

They are citizens of other countries illegally in our country.

They are NOT undocumented, most have more documents than citizens, all fraudulent.

They are not immigrants, they did not apply to be immigrants.

I think he brings up a point. Legal aliens should be called legal aliens

those two words completely dehumanize the situation that these people are in and the hardships they have endured.

They've endured NOTHING...they've won the lottery.

We don’t call people who come to the U.S. via the legal channels “legal aliens” we call them Americans.

My wife is here on a green card. I call her a Canadian.

Calling immigrants illegal aliens makes it very easy to see them differently for yourself.

Yes it does. It helps us understand some are US citizens and some are not.

Some are legal citizens and some are illegal citizens. There is a different.

The intent is to give them our votes; to dilute citizens votes to give power to the DemocRATS. This is why they obfuscate the legal term ILLEGAL ALIEN.

This is why we must not vote DemocRAT any more.

This kind of mush brained emotional tripe is why your state is going down the tubes.

It’s time to unpack the phrase “rule of law” and decide who gets to ignore which laws because shut up.

This is an attempt of the Left to use language to deconstruct existing immigration laws and American culture. If “illegal aliens” don’t exist then there are no borders or distinct American nation.

I don’t know. I call my daughter-in-law who is here legally and has a green card “Japanese” because that what she is. I don’t call her (and she doesn’t call herself) an American, because she isn’t.

But no one does that.

We call immigrants "immigrants". These people use proper paperwork and immigrate to the US legally. They get green cards or whatnot and may eventually become US citizens, if they haven't, you know, broken the law or anything.

We call illegal aliens "illegal aliens" because they come from a different country and because they have come here illegally. They should never be US citizens.

“Trespassing.” So, how many supporters of “trespassers” leave their homes unsecured, cars unsecured, valuable unsecured? If not, why not. Folks are just trying to get ahead.
