Well I am not dumb I know they call it Illegal immigration. That is not true immigration. Should we call the pilgrims illegal immigrants?

No, immigration is not illegal. Immigrants are not illegal. Illegal aliens are illegal. Some people are trying to change the word "alien" into the phrase "illegal immigrant" in an effort to make it sound more acceptable and to confuse the issue. "Illegal immigrant" is an oxymoron....and there's no such thing.
I didn't say you were dumb! I was just trying to answer your question about why people talk about "illegal immigration," which is because they don't realize there's actually no such thing. it's just a touchy subject, is all. Obviously.

First of all you are misinformed. Immigration can be legal or it can be illegal.
Suppose that I was to come to your house uninvited, eat the food in your fridge, and was sitting on your couch watching TV when you got home? Would you say I was legally expressing my "right" to be wherever I wanted? Or would you call the police?
You see my point. Let me make another:
Did you know that most of the crystal meth. in the USA comes from Mexico?
Did you know that the Mexican military helps these drug runners smuggle drugs across the border and fire at our border patrol personell when challenged? Do you find that legal?
Did you know that Mexican politicians are actively trying to get their poorest people to move to America?
Did you know that our Medical system is collapsing under the weight of Mexico's poor?
Did you know that our politicians want to give Social security to illegals as part of any Amnesty program? This means that the illegals can bring Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa to the US and they can IMMEDIATELY start collecting benefits.
And they never paid a dime into the system. You think that is fair?
Did you know that 28% of our prison population is composed of illegal immigrants?
Its easy to say that there is no such thing as "illegal immigrants" only because you are not looking are thinking very hard.

Immigration SHOULD not mean illegal immigration. However, we are bombarded with people saying immigration includes illegal immigration. So, since we are adamantly against breaking our laws to steal our children's futures, we clarify that it is only legal immigration we support.
A whole bunch of polls early this year asked if people supported 'immigration'. When they of course answered they did, thinking, as you obviously do, that that would only mean those who came here legally under quotas designed to protect those who already live here, the polls tried to say those people were supportive of illegal immigration.

It behooves us to reiterate the difference, because many people do not know it. There is a difference between legal and illegal, yet some people are content to lump this into one category, which is illogical to say the least.

Immigration is illegal if you cross our boarders with out being admitted by our government. If you come here you abide by our laws, and you do it by our laws!
Edit: Illegal Immigrant just means you migrated over our boarders ILLEGALLY!!
Is that so hard to undrestand...Really is it?

I have no objection to immigrants looking for work, they are putting something back into society, its when we get spongers (and we do hear more about them than any other immigration group) that makes our blood boil. That's all. A few friends of mine are 25% immigrant, so I'm not judgemental towards them.

I honestly hope you don't plan on becoming an attorney. Your argument is very weak and EMOTIONAL! Go to law school and get some logic!
