This is a term that lay people use to define a person who has either 1. entered without inspection (a misdemeanor) or 2. a person who is working without a "work" visa (also a misdemeanor). When put in these terms, anyone who speeds on the highway is an "illegal" driver. <BR/>"Illegal alien" is a term intentionally used to provoke a response from the uneducated and uninformed, to make them feel victimized. This "victimization" is reinforcement for those who have not acheived their own perceived potential and alleviates their responsibility for lack of advancement. When analyzed, it is doubtful that this "victim"'s aspirations are to be a dishwasher, housekeeper, or any position not requiring formal education or mastery of the English language. Some people...or as you wish...illegal aliens -- would, just for the opportunity, risk death by suffocation, starvation, dehydration, snipers, snakes, and bandits. Objectively, now, what is your level of ambition?For my Childrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11812805252525304454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726279577892804621.post-22060598764945161242008-05-15T20:30:00.000-05:002008-05-15T20:30:00.000-05:00Tim!"Because these immigrants would lose out on th...Tim!<BR/><BR/>"Because these immigrants would lose out on the American Dream..."<BR/><BR/>Why, when someone on your side of this issue writes an opinion, they can't bring themselves to differentate between immigrants and <I><B>ILLEGAL</B></I> immigrants? Could it be that such an identification would knock the wind out of their argument's sails?!?Jim Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12552385339015773291noreply@blogger.com
