I see, you are okay with "Criminal-lite". Unfortunately, we don't know of their violent crimes until AFTER they commit them. According to your logic, it was okay for the September 11 terrorists to stay in this country, since they only over-stayed their visas (somewhat akin to "sneaking across the border").

Were the islamofascists that overstayed their visas cleaning your toilet or making your bed at a hotel or motel. No they were plotting the attacks, just like Timothy McVeigh was plotting an attack.

You know who I was talking about. The ones who snuck over the border but in their daily lives are hard working and otherwise law abiding.

Oh, you mean the ones who drain dry our resources with their many welfare/foodstamps/housing/education benefits; who bankrupt our hospitals with the free care they receive; who make up one-third of our prison inmates; who deal drugs with wild abandon; who commit a wide variety of vicious, violent crimes; who populate many, if not most, of the violent gangs that terrorize our communities; who demand that WE change OUR culture and language to accommodate THEM and THEIRS? Do you mean those illegals? My mother was a LEGAL immigrant, and she respected and followed our laws and had to go through all the legal procedures to gain entry. She has been a loyal American now for some 40 years. Now you tell me she was a chump for playing by the rules? That the illegals you so happily champion, and who have no desire whatsoever to learn our language, assimilate, and become productive and proud Americans, are deserving of our largesse and are entitled to short-cuts? I think not.
