#1 'We are a nation of immigrants'

We were also a nation of slavery. We reached a social/economic point were it was no longer viable. Interesting that the same cabal of people who denounce the population impact upon the climate and environment are also the ones pushing open borders.

#2 Note the degradation since 1995 of our debate, of our use of language, of the acceptable range of public discourse on this issue.

Nothing in the statute has changed since then regarding the description and definition of those who commit illegal entry or overstay a visa. They were then and remain to this day illegal aliens per the statute.

Illegal alien is the term universally understood by the courts, lawyers, law enforcement. It highlights the fact these are NOT "IMMIGRANTS."

They are people who jumped the queue, who did the opposite of what immigrants do: they cheated, broke the law, screwed up our system and pissed on everyone else.
