Okay, here's the difference as simple as I can make it. Maybe you can understand..........................
LEGAL = Authorized by the law.
ILLEGAL = Forbidden by law

Legal And Illegal

le·gal (lgl) KEY
ADJECTIVE:
Of, relating to, or concerned with law: legal papers.
Authorized by or based on law: a legal right.
Established by law; statutory: the legal owner.
In conformity with or permitted by law: legal business operations.
Recognized or enforced by law rather than by equity.
In terms of or created by the law: a legal offense.
NOUN:
One that is in accord with certain rules or laws.
il·le·gal (-lgl) KEY
ADJECTIVE:
Prohibited by law.
Prohibited by official rules
NOUN:
An illegal immigrant.
So based on those definitions a legal immigrant has obeyed the laws and immigrated here according to the rules of our country. The illegal aliens paid money to a person to SNEAK them across the border. The illegals have no desire to become Americans, they just want the money and free services the liberals keep offering them paid for by my tax dollar.
They won't use the term ILLEGAL because the liberal democrats have an agenda to make the illegals citizens so they will vote for them. That way they may make it into office and then we can pay for even more services to people who broke the law to get into our country .

A legal immigrant had enough respect for the country they want to call home to obey it's laws and obtain the proper documentation to enter the country. An illegal alien comes into the country without a thought about it's laws and systems then demands to be made a part of it. I understand that these people want a better life, and I am all for having them here, but why should we be happy about people showing no respect for laws being our neighbor?

what is this a joke?
well I tell you the difference
the legal immigrant ASK the authorization to enter in USA
by fill up the immigration form
in the same time he have to do:
-medical inspection
-criminal investigation
-FBI fingerprint and picture
-Immigration officer interview/s
basically the illegal immigrants skip this procedure
by cross the border and screw the Immigration laws...
get the picture now?

A legal immigrant is in the country with the full knowledge and consent of the government.
An illegal immigrant....well, I'll let you figure that out ;-))

I am a legal immigrant.I had to pay thousands of dollars to process my application I had to pay my own passage. I had to pass a criminal records check. I had to be aids and TB free as well as other stds. I also had to have a skill that I could use to support myself. I also have to respect the laws and customs of the land and not be a danger to anyone.
compare that to someone who sneaks in.
