I know what an illegal alien is.

I know what a legal immigrant is.

So for sake of argument only, illegal aliens could be called impatient, jump the gun, break the law “wanna be immigrants”…and I would agree with that term.

But by any federal or state law legal definition, unless they’ve changed the law very recently, there ain’t no such animule as an illegal immigrant. Prove me wrong if you can find valid data in the law that corrects me.

It may be a simple matter in term usage to some people, quibbling a bit on my part and I won’t make any real objection to when I see or hear the term used but it makes a bigggggggg difference in target identification to this old combat veteran.
