No. I just hear the word "illegal". It pertains to anyone entering the US illegally. And what about the racial, ethnic and cultural issues? I personally didn't know they exist. I don't have an issue with a person who wants to immigrate to the US "legally". And when they get here, they obey the laws of the US. That they speak English. If you don't want to conform to the accepted ways of the US, then don't come here in the first place. And culture? We welcome it. The US is was founded on diversity. The problem with illegals is that they want something for nothing. They come into the US, falsify documentation in order to receive medical and Social Service benefits. Pump out kids, then expect the US taxpayers to support them.
Here is a true summary of illegal activity from long term illegals, and as you can see it's not just about sneaking across the border, and it's not just careless breaking of the law.
1. Illegal entry into the United States - Misdemeanor - deportable offense.
2. Failure to register as a foreign national - misdemeanor - deportable offense.
3. Fraudulently applying for a state driver's license with counterfeit ID - misdemeanor
4. Applying for work or working in the United States without a work visa - Misdemeanor - Deportable Offense.
5. Fraudulently operating an unregistered business under a false name - misdemeanor - Deportable Offense
6. Fraudulently applying for and accepting welfare using counterfeit ID - Felony - Jail Time- Deportation
7. Fraudulently applying for and accepting food stamps using counterfeit ID - Felony - Jail Time - Deportation
8. Fraudulently applying for and accepting mother's assistance using counterfeit ID - Felony - Jail Time - Deportation.
9. Fraudulently applying for work using counterfeit or stolen Social Security Number - Felony (Perjury)- Deportation
10. Fraudulently claiming excessive deductions for Federal Income Taxes to avoid paying any taxes - Felony - Jail Time - Deportation
11. Registering to vote in states with Motor Voter programs and voting without being a US Citizen - Felony (Perjury)- Deportation
12. Buying counterfeit auto license tabs instead of paying the sate - Misdemeanor
13. Buying phony auto insurance from Mexican operatives so automobile with counterfeit tabs can be registered - Misdemeanor
14. Claiming poverty in a household with high income (for you less than informed - illegal households can easily make as much $100,000 a year tax free) so children can apply for free lunches at school - misdemeanor
15. Claiming poverty to get free medical care from free clinics - Felony - Fraud (hundreds in LA alone) and using first class hospital emergency rooms as family doctors for non-emergency medical - ALL ILLEGALS HAVE 100% MEDICAL COVERAGE AT NO COST TO THEM - PERIOD - Misdemeanor - Deportation.
16. Traffic citations and accidents - Illegals have no real name or address - if they are get a citation or are involved in an accident - they just disappear and surface again with a new counterfeit license and address- and good luck with your insurance company - misdemeanor - Deportation
Etc, Etc, Etc,

Most Americans call ILLEGAL ALIENS by the name ILLEGAL ALIENS..... some mistakenly call them by nice names like "undocumented this or that", "illegal immigrants"(which they are not), and other PC terms approved of by treasonous supporters of illegal aliens....
Race has NOTHING to do with the issue.... they are illegal aliens/criminals.... that is all they can be.... I don't give a DAMN where they come from....
You are trying to play the race card.... and that is a losing card.... Americans are wise to that worthless PC card..... it is racist to play the race card..... and useless..... Americans are Americans.... Illegal aliens are illegal aliens....

I've had people in California say to me, "oh you're from North Carolina? That's next to South Dakota, right?" and, "yeah, I know North Carolina, that's next to Texas". I swear that's true and I swear I'm talking about several people making statements like that not just one or two, so it's no surprise to me that plenty of Americans don't know the difference between Mexico and Nicaragua, or Panama. I know plenty of folks who refer to any and all Asian people as "Japanese" regardless of which country they are actually from. Lots of Americans are totally ignorant about anything outside of their own little world.
