illegal alien or undocumentd immigrant?

Illegal as to whose definition of legality? There are Native Americans who still believe that every non-Native American is in the USA illegally, just as there are some Mexicans down South who believe every non-Mexican in the South is in the South illegally! While people would like to call these undocumented Mexicans illegal aliens in Texas, they are actually of the opinion that you and every non-Mexican in the South are the illegal aliens! (Laughs) Have you been to Texas lately? Did you know that currently in Texas Hispanics actually make up about 50% of the population? Folks, land won by means of war is never a guaranteed deal!

Illegal by the definition of the written laws we all have to live by in this country. I can redefine stealing and make it legal in my own mind to rob a bank of it's money, in my definition, it would be legal but that isn't going to keep me from being arrested and certainly isn't going to convince a judge that he should just let me go simply because in "my definition", it wasn't against the law. If mexico wanted the land back, it is always welcome to try and take it back by millitary force I suppose, but this would mean you would become a mexican citizen by force or move north to stay in the united states.

first of all, i respect the rights of native americans. However, who are the native americans? your people came here form other nations such as siberia and asia as well , granted it was 12,000 years ago but still non the less are just as much immigrant as are white, black, hispanic, arabic or any other nationality that comes here. Did your people as permission for who ever was here before? And yes, there were people here before you, this is archeological fact. I dont agrea with what happened back in history, the way the habitants of this continent were treated was appalling. But it was a 2 way street, violence came form both sides either provoked or unprovoked. I aslo want to mention that I as well have "native american" blood, as do my daughters, their gransmother is full blooded abenaki. What happened happened hundreds of years ago was atrocious, what do we do now? move 280 million people elswhere? I never said I was anti- immigration and i wish it was much easier to immigrate here, my girlfriend lives in canada and would like to move here. She is an honest, hard working and moral person as well as a peacefull and productive member of society. It just angers me because as hard as it is for her to get here, thousands every day are here illegalay and flaunting it in the face of americans both native and what ever other national origans exist here. What happened here hundreds of years ago was not my fault, nor the fault of anyone alive today, anymore than slavery is thge fault of anyone alive today. it happened, it's history. So kindly shed your self richeousness afor a few minutes and live in the present, nothing wrong with embracing your heritige and being proud of it, i am proud of the several heretiges i come from as well. I dont hold anything against england for the takeing of my native ireland back in history, it was just that, history.

I just read your profile, you don't even live in my country.

I never said I did live in your country, However, there were no peoplehere 30,000 yearsago when the first natives arrived so, the natives were the first here, so they own the rights to the land despite what the white governments say. And I didn't say get out of my country, I said get off my continent

If you come here legally, than "immigrant" or resident is appropriate. If you come here illegally, you are an illegal alien, despite politically correct noises to the contrary. The laws on the books for how many years said "alien." Words mean something. We cannot just redefine every word to avoid offending people because the left says so, or nothing will have meaning any more. And, as to the original post, it has nothing to do with racism as "illegal alien" covers any person of any race from any country who comes here illegally.
