Just curious, because Harry Reid says illegal aliens from Mexico are "undocumented Americans". Until yesterday at least, when he removed it from his website.

As this is a nation founded by immigrants, and has a majority of the population with an ancestry in other countries, the concept, I presume, of the modern immigrant is that this action has always been practiced and should be kept with few restrictions. To the average American, who, while attempting to make a living continues to be replaced by those which will do the same job for less money, find it difficult to compete in the job market. I once was replaced by such and after the 'immigrant' took the job, it was found that he was not capable of the quality which the job required. I was asked to return and I refused. and they ended up having to hire three more people to do to complete the job in the manner of which I could have done it alone. The cost was twice what they had been paying me. While it is true, there are some jobs in the past that an American would not take because of the low standing of the job, that job would be welcomed in today's market by anyone unafraid of physical labor. As the major companies disappear over the horizon, the lowly jobs in the fields of agriculture are starting to look better to the college graduate who can't find a job in his chosen field. I see nothing wrong with an immigrant wanting to come to our country to fill a position which others who are native would not do, but I do have a problem with those who come in to freeload off the government and tax payer money. If they come to work, pay taxes and make America their home, there is no problem.

Word play. Just word play. An illegal alien from any country coming into America are not automatically "American" anything. Those sneaking into America and who are of Mexican descent are undocumented Mexicans. They don't have legal documents to be in this country and are therefore undocumented people. If you do the same thing and go into Canada you will be an undocumented alien in Canada.

He removed it because the people have come down on him like a ton of bricks...
George W has also drooped the "jobs Americans wont do" from his stash of witty George-isms, it seems the heat from the hardworking American labor force was getting a little too hot for El Presidente .
George and Harry are finally starting to feel their constituents breathing down the back of their neck.

In you jump the Canadian Border and stayed in Canada and worked you would be an illegal immigrant. If you appealed for status as a refugee you might be able to stay.

NO; you wouldn't be any kind of Canadian, until you got documents; BUT but you could be an undocumented "alien"

Yeah, most likely but I can understand why you would want to jump the Northern Border given what is going on .

Yeah I was pretty shocked when he said that.. I'm surprised he didn't remove it sooner than that- I hope it woke people up to what our Politicians are trying to do
