The term "Illegal Alien" is NOT a slur. It's a correct term that upsets the group that is trying to convince us that squatting on American land indicates residence/citizenship. They are criminals, thus the term "Illegal" and belonging to a foreign country so "alien." There is no slur in using a totally correct term. It would only be a slur if in fact, these foreign nationals came our country legally, in which case they would be legal aliens or in some cases if they were staying, then they would be immigrants. Another term would be "illegal immigrants" which would also be a proper term. Using a term such as "undocumented immigrant" is a misnomer when using it to describe a person that enters our country illegally. That term implies that person may or may not have come here legally but has yet to obtain proper residency paperwork.
So, the PC crowd can kiss my @** because if they don't understand the proper meaning of a term, then perhaps they need to go back to grade school.
We are a country of laws. Just because we have those that believe they are above the law (ie, the Clintons) does not change that fact. Without laws we become an anarchy. We have proper immigration laws. There is no statute of limitations on illegally entering our country. If a child is born in our country from an illegal alien, it is not our fault but the fault of the illegal parent. The child may stay, but the parent must leave. Sorry, we have laws. Same thing happens when a parent (U.S. citizen) breaks a law in our country. They go to jail and leave the child behind. I didn't cause them to break the law.
I believe that the Constitution was not written specifically for these cases. But, it was interpreted that way by the high and mighty Supremes, therefore law. If we want a different process, then we simply add a small amendment that states that children of illegals are not given citizenship by birth. Simple.
