Well, you seem to be changing your original words which were to the effect that there were no illegal immigrants in the country

You missed my point. Perhaps you should read them again.

Illegal aliens please there is no such thing as a illegal immigrant. An Immigrant comes through customs with visa in hand and a desire to become a citizen. Don't let them shape the argument by word usage.

It is very late in the game I know but I will keep fighting. Immigrents and illegal aliens are two very different things. When you allow the other side to define the word usage you allow them to define the debate.

I have been very consistent. There is no such thing as illegal immigrants there are only illegal aliens. An Immigrant has legal status and so can not be illegal.

I refuse to change my way of speaking because some bozo wants to be PC. Words mean things. The word immigrant has a certain meaning. An immigrant is a person who is legally in the country and plans to become a citizen.

Ok, my name is Mohammed Ahtoo but I buy a fake passport issued in the name of Jesper Weinberger, a jewish resident. I get a visa fraudulently. I pass thru U.S. Customs and am walking around freely in Iowa. Am I a legal immigrant, an illegal immigrant or an illegal alien?
