Read the thread. People are trying to falsely connect being illegal with being a violent criminal.
Only you appear to be doing this, while blaming others.

There are out of status people from every country in the world in America but Mexicans are the ones being stereotyped as violent. The student overstays are not considered criminals. Americans hire these "criminals" everyday without fear of violence. You can technically say that illegals are guilty of a crime but to claim that simply be illegal makes you a criminal is false.
Is a teen who shoplifts a soda a criminal? How about a jaywalker or speeder or litterer? They broke the law but are not considered criminals.
By the letter of the law, yes they are criminals. Why do you find this concept so hard to understand? Prosecution is another matter, but breaking the law with an action makes it ILLEGAL.
Being PC is not just about illegal immigration. In encompasses all that is "free speech" that is deemed not so free anymore. It encompasses social rules deemed unfair for some at the expense of the majority.
Being PC seems to have turned into "keep your mouth shut" and let us do what we want.
Don't want to hijack the original thread, but just wanted to say that the ACLU is an absolute disgrace to this nation and has been for about a decade. They are an organization who have gone LONG past their sell-by-date. What was once a wonderful organziation who championed so many good causes, now looks to defend anything that will get it a headline by defending the indefensible.

Thanks! Needed to get that off my chest!
I think your post was right on topic. Political correctness is what we have now. NAMBLA...sad.
