There is no parody like self-parody, but Ken actually seems to strive for it.

Hey, they aren't illegal, they are "undocumented". I learned that by listening to NPR.

Ken, get a grip. Jews were "illegal" in Germany under the Nazis because they had been stripped of their citizenship and became stateless persons, therby unable to own property...i.e. they had not rights according to the state. We are discussing people who are citizens of a foreign nation who have decided to ignore our borders, our laws, etc because THEY WANT TO. They themselves are not "illegal persons", but their presence in this country is illegal. I don't wish any of them ill will, I just want them to go home. If they want to come here, then go to the nearest US consulate and take a fucking number and wait until it's called. Immigration is good for our country, but on OUR terms. And when people come here as immigrants, it is up to them to learn our language and live according to our customs and laws. I actually think you understand all this, but are simply being argumentative.

Scott and Red, technically I guess you are right. People can be illegal. After all, there was a time when Jews in Germany were illegal.

I don't think that there is anywhere on earth where people themselves are, as James says, 'by definition illegal'. It takes a fascist attitude to think otherwise.

Ken,

Try being in any other country illegaly and see what happens to you. I guess we have other laws in this country for no reason?

On the contrary, Ken, of course people can be illegal. Being in my country without my country's permission means you are here illegally. And please, the Leftoid point about "no one is illegal" is tired. Please stop. And by the way, thanks from CA for the money from the feds. Perhaps now they can look into reimbursing us for the ONE BILLION dollars a year we spend to incarcerate illegal aliens (yes, Ken...illegal).

James, what the hell do you mean by saying that some people are 'by definition illegal".

You fascist pig. People are never illegal.

We can solve all this illegal immigration problem overnight if we just paid the lettuce pickers, landscapers, etc. a decent wage so the bosses won't have to get illegals to work. But we like our cheap produce and nice landscaping too much to do anything about it.

Illegals come to the U.S. for work, and to make a better life for their families.... sounds O.K.

Illegals receive health care when they need it... sounds O.K.

Illegals do not carry health insurance and likely do not have the money to pay their medical bills... NOT O.K.

Illegals work for pay under-the-table, contributing nothing to the benefits they receive... NOT O.K.

Sounds like a free ride to me. No wonder they're coming in droves.

It's one more step in the legitimization of illegal immigration, which is, indeed, galling. Until we decide to control our borders, that $1 billion will become $10 billion and then $100 billion.

The Federal Government Picks Up Part Of The Tab For Illegals In California
Illegal alien apologists, who are opposed to enforcing our immigration laws, love to talk about what a benefit illegals are...
