the word "immigrant" has received a silent "illegal" before it on this site?
let me explain
if i posted a question asking, "do you love immigrants?"
i would probably receive many responses similar to "no, they broke the law, they need to go home."
but notice i never once used the word "illegal"
so back to my question, why has it come to the point where almost everyone on "yahoo answers" thinks the word "immigrant" now means "illegal immigrant?"
in case people have not noticed, this is the "immigration" forum which means questions are open for both illegal and legal immigration topics
but for a long time, i've seen so many jump to the conclusion that "immigrant" means "illegal immigrant" and the question was therefore completely taken out of context
please, give me your thoughts
