With the vitriolic immigration debate roiling in all parts of our country, it is important to understand terminology. Be prepared to dispel the half-truths and no truths of the way those who are illegally in our country are described by their liberal advocates. Knowledge is power:

ILLEGAL:
1.) Unlawful; illegitimate; illicit; unlicensed.
2.) Illegal, unlawful, illegitimate, illicit, criminal can all describe actions not in accord with law.
3.) Illegal refers most specifically to violations of statutes.
4.) Prohibited by law

ALIEN:
1.) a person who is not a citizen of the country.
2.) in the United States any person born in another country to parents who are not American and who has not become a naturalized citizen. There are resident aliens officially permitted to live in the country and illegal aliens who have sneaked into the country or stayed beyond the time allowed on a visa.

INVADE:
1. to enter like an enemy: Locusts invaded the fields
2. to enter as if to take possession: To invade a neighbor’s home
3. to enter and affect injuriously or destructively, as disease: Viruses that invade the bloodstream.
4. to intrude upon: To invade the privacy of a family.
5. to encroach or infringe upon: to invade the rights of citizens.
6. to permeate: The smell of baking invades the house.
7. to penetrate; spread into or over: The population boom has caused city dwellers to invade the suburbs

Those illegally in a country are not “immigrants”. There is no such thing as an “illegal immigrant”. An immigrant is involved with an established and orderly procedure of immigration (entering a country to which one is not native in order to settle there by legal process).

They are not immigrants, not undocumented immigrants (Kennedy and the PC fan favorite), not undocumented workers, not undocumented Americans (Harry Reid’s favorite), not economic immigrants (Big Business and Wall Street favorite), not immigrants without work papers, not people who are working (Enrique Morone’s favorite), not migrant workers, not entrants, not day laborers and not the “unbanked” (Bill Clinton and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s favorite).

The government has defined them as “illegal aliens” and explicitly uses that term in all its laws and statutes. So keep it simple…a spade is a spade…they are illegal aliens. Or, if you’d prefer, another term that would be just as correct to use is “invaders”. I would consider the two interchangeable.

One other definition is exceedingly useful since you’ll hear with every piece of amnesty legislation, the open border lobbyists, facilitators and illegal alien advocates declaring that it isn’t amnesty in the hope that you will think so. Here’s the definition of amnesty so you can decide for yourself:

AMNESTY is legislation to forgive the breaking of immigration laws and to make it possible for illegal aliens to live permanently in the United States. Amnesty represents a system of federal rewards and assistance for illegal aliens, and they entice an even greater number of foreign nationals to illegally enter a country. Amnesty is providing the ultimate goal of the perpetrators illegal entry…legalization of their presence.

AMNESTY:
1. A general pardon for offenses against a government
2. An act of forgiveness for past offenses, esp. to a class of persons as a whole
3. Forgetting or overlooking any past offense

There you have it, folks. Knowledge is power…use it wisely.

Yes, we need to go after both the illegals and companies that hire them. But, keep in mind that not every illegal who is here works, so just going after the companies is not going to get a large number of illegals, which is exactly why many who support illegals only seem to want to go after the companies.

Why should we not want to deport all illegals? If they leave PW County and go to another County that has the same laws, they will have to move on. If all Counties pass the same laws, guess what? The illegals will leave on their own, because they will not have any place to go that will lessen the chance of being caught and deported.

I simply do not understand why people say deportation is not an answer to the problem or passing laws on the local level. If it makes life more difficult for illegals, they will get the message and move on.

Trying to compare illegal criminals to criminals who have a right to be in the Country(US Citizens, and legal immigrants) is just silly.

An apologist is someone who ignores the facts and will make apologies and excuses for something or someone.

Do you really not know what abets means?

2. Do illegal aliens forge documents?
Not always. Many of them do not need documents. What about the forgery of documents performed by their US Citizen employers? What do we need to do to get these employers to obey the law?

3. Do illegal aliens steal benefits (foodstamps, WIC, etc.)?
Do you think that ONLY illegal immigrants steal benefits? How do we resolve this?

4. Do illegal aliens get paid “under the table” as “day laborers”?
Do you think that ONLY illegal immigrants work for cash? The banking laws need to be beefed up to fix the ability to get so much cash.

5. Do illegal aliens pay income tax?
Some do - I know many citizens who do not pay income tax. Haven’t you ever heard of someone having a cash business?

6. Do illegal aliens pay their fair share of property tax while living in a “bunk house”?
Are they the owner of the house - the beef is with the owner who is violating the zoning and not paying the correct taxes. Zoning enforcement.

7. Have illegal aliens been a major factor in shutting down Emergency Rooms around the country?
I do not have the facts on this - is it true?

8. Do illegal aliens falsify information and steal social security numbers to acquire employment (unlawfully)?
Yes, some of them do. I also know of people (not personally) that have done the same thing to falsely claim disability payments. Day laborers usually work for cash, and hence do not need a ssno.

9. Do illegal aliens participate in gang activity?
Are all gangs made up of illegal immigrants, I did not think they had a lock on this.

10. Do illegal aliens contribute to “overcrowding” of neighborhoods?
Again, if zoning was enforced.

11. Do illegal aliens contribute to “overcrowding” of schools?
Again, if zoning was enforced.

12. Do legal residents “aid and abet” their illegal alien friends and family members?
If a family member needed help, I would aid and abet (whatever that really means) - friends - no - as far as I know, I have no friends who are illegal - do you?

13. Do you think we should “compromise” our rules of law and let illegal aliens and their supporters get away with the above, while holding legal citizens accountable?
No, I think the current laws should be enforced more forcefully and fairly - people should not look the other way, but that is what has been happening, which is why we have the current issue. But, I also think that making resolutions and masking the problem is not a solution. So, PWC may be seeing a drop in the illegal immigrants, but that is not a solution and it is not fixing the problem, it is just moving it out of my backyard, and moving it somewhere else.

14. Do illegal alines’ employers pay taxes on their salaries?
Again, fix and enforce the banking laws. Do not hire contractors that use illegal labor. Do not patronize the business that uses illegal immigrants.

15. Do illegal aliens assimilate to their surroundings?
Some do (the smart ones).

What is the solution? Just saying to kick them out does not solve it - that it what has been said for a few years now - and it does not work. The only reasonable way I see is to go after the employers who use this cheap labor. But the large employers (like Tysons Foods) have our government officials in their pockets to allow this to continue. Look at many of the K Street lobbyists - they are illegal immigrant apologists (whatever that is supposed to be). Why not a national id card - but you are against that. Are illegal immigrants being honest contributors to our society - no they are not, but their employers who are ‘upstanding’ US Citizens are being more decietful to not only the illegal immigrants, but also to us - his/her neighbor. Is the home owner who has made the house into a boarding house being fair to his neighbor - no - but that is not the illegal immigrants fault - it is our society that allows this to happen. Zoning should have been enforced years ago - and strictly enforced. The first boarding house to pop up in Manassas should have been shutdown immediately.

So tell me - what are your ideas to a Solution? I see alot of complaining, but no real mention of a solution? Me - my solution - they need to go after the money, and make it harder for the employer to pay cash or 1099 the employee. This needs to be fixed from the top down.

Oh dear, here comes another label, what will they call me now?

You are just like every other supporter of illegals. You say something must be done, but you do not support any attempt to rid the Nation of the illegal alien population except to grant them amnesty. And, you wonder why y’all get poked at so much on this blog, it is because ya’ll attempt to distort the issue, and out right lie, and when push comes to shove, y’all run away like a spoiled kid who was told no.

And, yes you do support the drunk driver who almost killed the officer last weekend, you support him by wanting them to stay in our Country. You support him when you say they some how contribute to our Nation.

I bet just about every criminal this Country has every had has in a small way contributed to the Nation, but that does not mean they had a right to walk the streets or to have their crimes wiped away. Illegals have not right to be here in the first place, so logically, they should be deported, and all of them, just as law enforcement attempts to rid society of any other type of criminal.

The illegal invasion can only be understood by the corrupting influence on politicians of money for cheap labor for the Republicans or the Welfare votes for the Democrats that makes them dishonor their Oath of Office, the US Constitution against Invasion, and Enforcement of our Immigration Laws!

Maybe it’s time for the Republicans to go the way of the Whigs.

Typical, instead of admitting you may be wrong in your beliefs, you will run away. Therefore, you are still “right” because you didn’t say otherwise. More PC crap. Political correctness is going to undermine our great nation!!

Where is Jesse and AL in regard to Rev Wright? Why haven’t they spoken out against his hate speech? Oh, that’s right, he is black, so he is off limits.

What a waste of HD storage space.

Stop making fun of the admin of our stalker blog. You people scare me. I am really, really afraid. I write poems to ease the stress. I now people like you. I used to date people like you. Greg is obsessed with me. I will not be ignored. Is that Madam Butterfly I hear? You are all Nazi fascists, racists, bigots. I am afraid of you and you must be stopped. I have reported Greg to the FBI and wirtten a letter to Condolezza Rice to tell them what I have learned:

Greg is really the vangaurd of an interstellar invasion from the Orion galaxy. He’s a REAL alien. The evil Xenopohopomorphs have dropped pods all across America. Greg started HSM to get regular people into a confined space. Then these people were replaced with duplicates from the pods. Their misson is to cause division within the community, and when we are divided that’s when the evil Xenophobomorphs will attack!

I am afraid, which is why I have asked Mexicans without Borders to protect me. They will save us. Commandante Marcos, he is so handsome with his bandana and his fatigues. They will save us from all of the pod people.

I have to open the case back up and add:

14. Do illegal alines’ employers pay taxes on their salaries?
15. Do illegal aliens assimilate to their surroundings?

Case rested

I love it when you start making numbered lists!!

Ding, Ding Ding Ding! You got it

Nice post. But don’t hold your breath for answers. I have asked the same questions of just about every illegal alien supporter who has posted on this blog these that are indifference, and those that want us to think they are against illegals. It usually results in a lot of juking and so forth on the part of those who are asked the questions.
