Ted Kennedy has more concern for the illegals that break our laws than the American People that will have to pay the cost for their care

illegal means outside what is legal. In the case of immigration that would be people who jumped the border rather than going through the legal process like everyone else has gone through for the past 200+ yrs. Hell even the colonies had immigration policies back in the late 17th century.

They haven't passed out the new dictionary yet. Haven't gotten the book with all the laws I don't necessarily have to obey either. Must be slow mail .....out-sourced via India or something. I used to know what it ment but obviously the whole darn world has changed on it's axis because nothing is what it was.

Obviously it means against the law.
In the context of immigration debate, though, it is often used as a noun - a shortening of 'illegal alien' or 'illegal immigrant.'

dont really have any real meaning its a way for government to deny its people the right to do certain activities by slapping the word illegal to it and hiring cops to enforce it.

Why do you think they're calling them "undocumented?" Heck, I even heard Harry Reid call them "Undocumented Americans."
