Sad isn't it that they have so little respect for American citizens and legal immigrants while embracing illegal aliens?



It is really very simple. They have broken our law, and we are going to enforce our law. It isn't a big deal, since we pass laws and expect them to be withheld by law enforcement. It is SO simple.



Look it up! Google it! An American is a native or citizen of America, that is about as simple as it gets! They can call themselves and you can call them whatever you want, I'll call them "deportable", "a plague to our country", "illegally present and deportable" and quite frankly a few other names I won't list here.
You can push whatever incorrect notion or wording you want, but it won't make one bite of difference, "a spade is a spade" thus an illegal alien is an illegal alien!!!



They entered the country illegally, thus illegal alien or overstayed their visa breaking our law, again, illegal alien.

Seriously, it shows your lack of knowledge of our legal system that you think citizens will be "given the boot for being inflexible, unfair and unreasonable" and such statements prove your ignorance of how our system works. Ignorance may be bliss, but it won't win anyone points in a discussion.

One's "feelings" and/or "emotions" mean very little when it comes to law enforcement. There is a reason which has become very evident with the illegal alien infestation at its current level that we have this particular set of laws for immigration. We were on the way to 3rd world status, but are not starting to regain our balance as we deport, chipping away as resources are available to "load 'em up and ship 'em out"! America(ns) FIRST, and by Americans, I mean natives or citizens, the appropriate definition for the word!
Your are not entirely correct about the definition of "American". South and Central Americans are considered Americans too. I don't let feelings control my thoughts. I'm very deliberate and after realizing how we have exploited and profited off of undocumented Americans, I think we should make a deal.

My question also. It's not we law abiding Americans that encouraged them it's our government and the greedy employers who did. No one can be exploited unless they allow themselves to be. Illegal aliens come here knowing full well that they are violating our immigration laws. No one drags them over the border to work here. We law abiding Americans owe them nothing. In fact our government owes us by deporting them.

Did anyone do the Yoda thing yet?

Illegal: "I won't be deported. I'm not afraid."

Director: "You will be...you will be."

They are from the Americas, but nobody calls them Americans. Americans has always referred to people from the United States. Travel a little and you will see that all around the world everyone understands what is meant when using the word Americans.
