This wouldn't be a troll poll by any chance would it?

There's nothing to explain. Illegal aliens can go back to their home country and immigrate LEGALLY, if they wish.

Why do you call them "undocumented", instead of illegal?

All I said was:

There already is a pathway for an illegal alien to become a legal permanent US resident: Go back home and immigrate legally.

How does that implicate you in any way?

Getting caught up in semantics is a way of avoiding answering real questions. It's happened to me before where I said "you can go back" in general terms and have been reported and had infractions for personal attacks. I personally don't care about people legal status on here but I do wonder about motives.

Ye, it's there already.
But they won't be able to come, we should reform it.
No, the pathway to citizenship is fine the way it is.
So you don't support a pathway to citizenship.


Try to at least make a sound argument for my we should give amnesty to illegal without the semantics word play. I'll end it for you right now though: no country in the world wants a large influx of poor uneducated unskilled labor. Please don't point out the exception to the rule as the reason for it.

How so? Are you having a problem understanding the difference between "legal immigrant" and "illegal alien?"

That path has existed for over 50 years.

Barking up the wrong tree. I know the difference.

The pathway exists. Go back to country of origin and apply for a VISA. If you meet the criteria you will be allowed to enter the country legally. Just like asking for permission before entering someone elses home.
