Call a spade a spade, please.

Calling an illegal immigrant an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist".

It's more than just 'the job' when it comes to illegals. There's a heck of a fallout. Take, for example, something that happened to my family.

My ex-mother-in-law (not 'ex' at the time) was driving down a road one afternoon when she stopped at a traffic light (along with many other cars - this was a very busy intersection in Nashua NH). Well, an illegal immigrant came along and rear-ended her causing a fair amount of damage to her car. She and her 80-year-old-plus mother in the passenger seat both had to go to the hospital to get checked out (nothing more than bruised, fortunately). The guilty driver drove away form the scene after looking at the damage and starting to panic.

Fortunately he left his front license plate behind but UNfortunately, when the cops went back to the registered owner, she claimed it was stolen - JUST stolen and hadn't yet reported it. That was the end of the investigation.

So my mother-in-law has her car insurance rates go up. Has to pay out of pocket for some of the hospital work, and her health insurance has to pay for the rest.

The illegal gets off scot-free. He bears no responsibility for his actions.

We figured that the guy was "only" uninsured. It wasn't until after that the cops told us this had all the hallmarks of an illegal and that it happens more than you might think.

They are *illegal*. What part of "illegal" do people NOT get? I'm all in favor of LEGAL immigration - that's how my family got here - by playing according to the rules.
