Why Do Democrats Keep Referring to "Illegal Aliens" as Immigrants?

And there are "legal" and "illegal" immigrants. That distinction is important and is what the issue is about. Kind of like legally withdrawing money from a bank vs illegally. There is a big difference. The whole discussion is about ILLEGAL immigrants.

The Mayor of Los Angeles does this . They are trying to switch the conversation to immigrants when they know it's illegal immigrants that are the issue .

It's disgusting .

The mayor here is always lumping them together with legal immigrants .

He says stuff like "60 percent of our business owners are immigrants "

But he'll never tell you how many are ILLEGAL .

How can an illegal open a legit business?

They are also putting up millions in taxpayer money to support "immigrants " by hiring attorneys but it's actually for illegals .

They aren't being honest .

It doesn't help that a CA senate leader goes on TV bragging about how half his family is in the state/country illegally AND with forged/stolen/false documents.

The LOONS have taken over the state, it looks like a battle is coming with the Feds AND with the CA residents as the ultimate losers...
