No such thing as an illegal alien? Of course. Just as there are no drunk drivers. Many people drink, and most adults drive. Some people just do it at the same time, that's all.

There are no trespassers, either. Some guests come to your home while you're there, while others enter your home while you're away. But really, they're all just guests in your home..aren't they?

Have you ever allowed someone to borrow your car? If so, you'll understand that there are no carjackers...only people who REALLY WANT to borrow your car...NOW..and don't have time to explain why.

Thieves? Nope. Just people who want what you've got. They're really no different from 'borrowers'.

Shoplifters? Really, just another way of saying 'customers'. They enter the store, they select merchandise, and they leave. Just like customers, except they 'skip' a step.

Rapists? There are no rapists, either...just 'guys who have problems forming relationships with women', and can't seem to express themselves.

Drug dealers? Aren't licensed pharmacists really 'drug dealers'? Just that they deal drugs that are different from the ones out on the street.

"Illegal aliens"? No such thing. Just immigrants who've taken steps to 'streamline' the immigration process.

Thanks for this thread.

Agreed. That being said with regards to Achury: Did we run out of troll spray already? If so, let me know, I'll pick some up on my lunch break.

Your appalling lack of historical knowledge would be humorous if it weren't so sad......

There is no such thing as an illegal alien . . . who doesn't have an excuse or justification for his/her decision to sneak across the border illegally.

Now there is the truth.
