This causes confusion and scares LEGAL IMMIGRANTS. So whats the deal?
Democrats desperately want votes from illegal aliens.

That's the reason why they've been pushing for amnesty so hard.

They are "Undocumented Democrats", but that isn't PC.

But it's important to decipher between a legal immigrant and an illegal one. Actually, our immigration laws refer to those in our country illegally as illegal aliens. Liberals and ethnocentrics also like to call them "undocumented" which is also a made up PC term.

Actually, they are after the ethnocentric Hispanic citizen vote.

Let's get these definitions settled once and for all.

The savages who originally populated the land are Native Indians. I think Columbus decided that. The survivors and offspring became American Native Indians by default.

The Europeans who CONQUERED North America are settlers, colonists or conquerors as you wish. Their offspring are Native AMERICANS. Being born here they are native to the land and country same as the Indians.

Those who came here AFTER the Revolutionary War, LEGALLY, were immigrants, some became American Citizens. Their offspring also become Native Americans. NOT - African Americans, or Mexican Americans, or any other hyphenated American. Either you are an American, or you aren't.

The rest, that is anyone without legal entry, are illegal aliens or simply, infiltrators.

I think we can all agree on these simple definitions.

Lying helps deal with unpleasant facts, perhaps?

I have no problem with referring to them as "immigrants," just as long as its clear that they are "illegal immigrants." Democrats say that GOP opposition to lawbreakers entering out country is being "anti-immigrant," but of course this is patently false. I am anti-illegal immigration, not anti immigration. There is a big difference, though Democrats are doing their best to blur the lines.
