So, one of the largest police efforts in modern times manages to accidently snag 2 illegal aliens ... 2 down, 10,999,998 to go ... at this rate, it will only cost $7.95 Trillion dollars and take 428 years to find and deport all illegals ...

On CNN they just referred to these 2 as 'undocumented workers' ... give 'em time CNN, I'm sure they will get some documents soon enough.

"Undocumented" is a great PC euphemism. It implies innocence, as in, "I was pulled over by a cop at a DWI checkpoint and was given a citation because I had left the car registration at home. If I bring in the proper documentation, they will forgive the ticket."

These workers did not leave their documents home. They don't have any. Nobody is sitting on a raft in the Rio Grande handing them out. They are undocumented in the sense that a carjacker doesn't have the car's registration, not that someone inadvertently left them at home.

Is a "undocumented worker" synonymous with "illegal welfare collecting alien"? Just curious.
