"I hope no one uses the term 'illegal immigrants' here today," said Committee Ranking Member John Conyers of Michigan. "Our citizens are not illeg—the people in this country are not illegal. They are out of status. They're new Americans that are immigrants, and I think we can forge a path to citizenship that will be able to pass muster."

I don't understand........ They're "illegally" here and they're "immigrants". Thus "illegal immigrants". Did I learn wrong in school?

Give me a break. Immigrant who illegally enters country = illegal immigrant. Also can't stand the term "undocumented." They need to undocument my firearms.

getting too damn sensitive!!! theyre not aliens. they are UNDOCUMENTED workers. suck it. they are driving with no insurance and no license half the time. they make the cities look like a bag of smashed assholes. standing on the corners in HUGE groups waiting for the next truck to pass by. I really dont understand why ICE doesnt come by and start deporting them. they know they are illegal but do nothing about it.

No they are not citizens, they are fucking ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. It should be is our governments duty to round them up, make a record of their crimes, and deport their asses; not to attempt to make friends with.

They are ILLEGAL ALIENS.

They are aliens because they are not citizens.

They are illegal because they entered the country in violation of the law.

They all need to be deported.

Amazing.

Seriously amazing.

How can you take some seriously that thinks that way. They're here illegally, they crossed the border illegally. Hence...illegal immigrant. It's not a derogatory term...it's a fucking definitive description of the person and their status in this country.

Didn't you read in the other thread? Adjectives are bad. We can't have African Americans, they're just Americans. So we can't have illegal immigrants, they're just immigrants.

They are not illegal immigrants and they are not citizens. They are illegal aliens. The word "immigrant" should never be used when describing these criminals.

The correct legal term for a foreign national per Title 8 1101 is "alien." Classes of legal aliens (those who entered the country in compliance with law) are either nonimmigrant or immigrant aliens (also called permanent residents). Anyone else, if not paroled into the US, is an illegal alien.

In the context of the discussion in Congress - foreign persons who have entered the US in violation of law - the correct legal terminology to use is "illegal alien." An out of status immigrant would be a permanent resident who has violated Section 237 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

I am inclined to think by that opening request, Conyers has a biased agenda he is going to pursue. No surprise there.

For people that are criminals, some of them live right out in the open and nothing happens to them. No wonder they keep coming here.

This is the United States of America. You are welcome to apply for citizenship through our extensive and expensive process. Or, you can try to cross the border illegally. If you make it, we probably won't do anything to you, except for give you thousands of dollars a year for not making enough money to support yourself and your family. Also, we will give you free education and healthcare. But please, respect our laws, because they are important. Don't cross our fence and take all of the free stuff we will give you if you cross our fence.

No, even though they passed it. I guess the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1996 was one of those bills that they wouldn't know what was in it until it was passed type of things. Looks like 17 years later they still haven't read it, although I am inclined to think that is more because of willful ignorance than incompetence.
