"Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is like calling a burglar an uninvited house guest."
Spitting on the sidewalk is a minor infraction. Tresspbutting in a foreign country that has laws against is is a major crime. At lease the US, unlike some countries..doesnt shoot them out of hand.
An illegal alien is an individual who enters a country at a place other than a designated port-of-entry, in violation of that country's laws.
Illegal Alien - An illegal alien is a non-U.S. citizen who has entered the United States illegally, i.e., without proper documentation and without complying with legally required U.S. immigration procedures. Examples of illegal aliens include Mexicans who cross the Texas border into the U.S. by evading Customs checkpoints. The term "Illegal Alien" is predicated upon U.S. immigration law which requires foreigners entering the U.S. to comply with our country's rules and laws regarding entry into, and residence within, our country.
The term "illegal alien" is favored by U.S. citizens who believe that non-citizens entering our country must comply with our immigration laws. This term is also favored by conservatives and Republicans who believe that persons entering our country should be required to abide by our laws.
Undocumented Immigrant - An undocumented immigrant is also a non-U.S. citizen who has entered the United States illegally. In fact, an undocumented immigrant has violated all the same U.S. laws as an illegal alien.
The term undocumented immigrant was invented by those who favor open borders and who hope that using this kinder, gentler term will fool the rest of us into ignoring the fact that they have broken our laws.
In fact, folks who like to use the term undocumented immigrant also tend to believe we should be spending U.S. taxpayer funds to provide these individuals with health care, social security and in some cases in state tuition at our colleges and universities. They also tend to believe that undocumented immigrants should be able to obtain U.S. drivers' licenses, open U.S. bank accounts, and be free from arrest and deportation by our police officers.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.
Think of it as having your older brother knock the poo out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner
