      Sooo...what's the problem? If they're undocumented, aren't they automatically illegal? Or would you like them to be called "alleged illegals"? Please enlighten me.

      I don't see an issue of dishonesty when someone who does not enter the US through lawful channels is referred to as an "illegal."

        If you have documentation on the individual as duly convicted fine. If not, your just adding to the image of any latino as a either a law breaker, or an enabler of lawlessness. Thereby identifying them as a proper target for hate.

          That's fine, I think just referring to some random latino in the US as an "illegal" is racism of the highest order.

      Which of the bills is president obama's bill? All of them? One of the house bill's? Doesnt seem like obama has backed one of any of the others per say.
