Are they "undocumented immigrants" or "illegal aliens"?
An immigrant is a person who moves to another country for permanent residence. An alien is a citizen of another country that is in this country.
Undocumented simply means they do not have legal papers, such as a passport, etc. Illegal means that they have entered this country against the laws established for immigration.
If they are just "undocumented", then getting them a document will solve the problem. That would make them "documented" and everyone would be happy, or would they? If they are illegal, a paper does not change that. There are punishments for breaking the law.
As you have noticed, politicians (especially the liberal cRats but also some moderate iCan'ts) will not use the term "illegal" when referring to those who are in our country illegally. Their most favorite label is "undocumented". Why? Because they have a plan for "comprehensive immigration reform". In this plan, there will be a provision to give documents to the undocumented in order to solve the problem. That is why they do not call it amnesty. Amnesty would involve ignoring the crime committed and giving them a legal status. If they never admit that they are here illegally they do not have to make them legal. All they have to do is supply the missing document.

From the beginning its been previous administrations ultimate fault that illegal immigration has never been retired. Years of neglect and intentional overlooking of the laws that were in place? It's grandiose excuse to allow the 20 million plus illegal immigrants to stay on American soil. Congress when enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 has been flagrantly ignored. The IRCA toughened criminal sanctions for employers who hired illegal aliens, denied illegal aliens federally funded welfare benefits, and legitimized some aliens through an amnesty program–EXCEPT THESE LAWS NEVER WERE ENFORCED?
ReplyDeleteThere has always been complicity since the earliest days, between the lawmakers, big business, the open border zealots and radical pro-immigration and anti-American sovereignty organizations. Just like the Globalist they have an attitude that American taxpayers should accommodate every illegal family, with free medical care, schooling and a comfortable prison cell, for criminals and for the thousands of illegal alien drunken drivers every year. That globalist agenda has always been a free movement of cheap labor, between all of South America, Canada and Mexico, just as secretly arranged with the 3 countries leaders in Waco, Texas, at the end of March 2005.
Americans only forceful action is to build on E-verify, but not to replace it? Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York and chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on immigration wants consider up-grading the application, with modifications to authenticate the employee’s identity by using a specific and unique biometric identifiers? Schumer, stated "improving employment verification is critical to boosting public confidence about curbing illegal immigration, which will build support for comprehensive immigration reform." These politicians just don't get it? Outside of the American Civil War, there will be a battle over giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship free-ride? What about the millions of people with integrity and believe in the Rule of Law, who sit and wait in far off foreign countries for an entry visa?
Whatever the outcome it will not be easy to pass any Immigration reform or AMNESTY? Say--NO-- because it going to cost trillions of dollars (with a T) in enactment. Health care, Pensions, retirement and a rush on government benefits, for those who haven't already cheated the system. Then they will want their immediate families here? And waiting millions will swarm the open areas of the sovereign border fence? IT WILL NEVER END?

As a Independent voter, I do believe in a alternative government medical system, but I adamantly disagree on donating my taxes from public treasuries free health care to anybody who steals across our border or anything that smells of AMNESTY?
