Haley, in response, said that while Americans are rightfully frustrated with illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border, she urged the audience not to use language like “criminals” to describe illegal aliens because “they’re not.” She said:
So I think that what we have to remember and what I’ve always believed is that we’re a country of laws. That is what’s made us strong so it’s incredibly frustrating for a lot of people when they see the illegal immigrants being able to come across. It really is astonishing that after all these years, D.C. can’t figure out how to build a wall. It really is, after all of what they spend.
Having said that, we are a country of immigrants. I am the proud daughter of Indian parents who reminded us every day how blessed we are to live in this country. They resent when people come here illegally. But let’s keep in mind, these people who are wanting to come here, they’re wanting to come for a better life too. They have kids too. They have a heart too, so we don’t need to be disrespectful. We don’t need to talk about them as criminals, they’re not. They’re families that want a better life and they’re desperate to get here. [Emphasis added]
What we need to do is make sure we have a set of laws that we follow and we go through with that. I think that some things have been said that are unfortunate and wrong but I think we also need to remember, especially for all of us … tone and communication matters and people matter. We don’t ever need to talk about this in a cold-hearted way … be kinder than necessary.

George Bush, George Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Nikki Haley.
All sound EXACTLY the same.
Nikki McRomBush!
Mitt Romney in drag.
Definitionally... ILLEGAL aliens broke the law.
She is not to be trusted.
(She is not to be trusted.)
Exactly
Sorry Nikko, ILLEGAL ALIENS are CRIMINALS.
Indeed. If those slags don’t like being called ‘illegals’ they should go (or stay) where that isn’t a problem.
It is important to note that this Administration (and the other Democrat Administrations, too) are actively thwarting our laws and statutes with illegal POLICIES like DACA, etc.
Biden is just more blatant about it. He knows that he controls the only entity that could stop him - the CBPE and DOJ.
The term “Illegal alien” means what then? Law abiding, stand up citizen? So “Bank Robber”, “child molester” and on and on, same thing?
“What we need to do is make sure we have a set of laws that we follow and we go through with that”
There’s the problem. We have laws that no one will follow this very moment. Their plan to make new laws that no one will follow is next. They really think we’re stupid.
What part of illegal does she not understand. I recall in 1980 the many motels out of the way were suddenly owned by people from India. Most were named Patel. Some were Singh.
When you break the laws, you are a criminal.
Failure to prosecute the crime does not mean it’s OK.
Why does she want to be president?
What is her allegiance to this country and its founding?
Has she said anything to this?
Yeah, they are actually.
Isn’t it time to have this anchor baby exiled to a utopian paradise like Venezuela?
They owned just about all of them on the old Route 66 interstates. In Arizona, they were mainly rented out to welfare recipients.
What does she call people who break the law?
Ok, Nikki, it’s Joe who is the criminal for allowing this!
Please God don’t let Trump choose this idiot as his VP.
When you have Nikki! you don’t need Democrats. Nikki! may receive many votes in open primary states.
