What's the difference between an "illegal alien" and an "illegal immigrant"?
Answer:
Illegal alien is the correct term.
Illegal Immigrant is a PC way of saying someone came here without permission.
And if you want to get way over the rainbow into PC-LAND, you can call them undocumented immigrants or undocumented workers.
It's basically the same thing but since they are so ignorant and arrogant "Illegal criminal invader" suits them best.
nothing, they should both be shot,
Sorry, after I wrote this, I read how bad things are down in Mexico and why people come here to get away from the awful polititions in Mexico, who only care about themselves and not the poor and unfortunate. But I just wish that they would not come here and take from worthy Americans. I heard that many illegals don't steal because they don't wish to be deported, but that is a lie. There are so many that are good at stealing they don't worry about getting caught, so they have no problem stealing from honest people.
one comes from outer space, the other mostly from mexico.
they both go to an alien land for better life
No difference
One in the same=Criminals
"illegal aliens" term used by (mostly) conservatives
"illegal immigrants" term used by moderate swing voters
"undocumented immigrants, oppressed by the white man's archaic and draconian rules, man!" term used by liberals
"I came for the work, but I stayed for the free health care insurance!"
term used by...guess who?
Thank you, come again!
One is a PC way to justify the criminal acts of a certain group and try and twist it into something good and wholesome. They try and link Illegal with immigrant to imply that they are the same as the millions who waited at ellis island, wait today at embassies throughout the world, pay their dues and come to make america and themselves better by becoming one with us, legally. As opposed to sneaking accross a river in the middle of nowhere and sucking this country dry. I prfer criminal. Thats what they are. I don't care if they are white, black, asian, middle eastern or from the planet Quazzar.
Illegal Alien is the term that even the Federal law uses.
I've no idea. I've also no idea why some want to share a country with people like these posters.
They are the same sh-t!! Illegal alien is the person and illegal immigration is the illegal action that is taken..
Not really sure, but you could maybe consider one that came from France the Alien!
Try dropping several of each from 100 feet up and see if one falls faster!
there is no difference, one is just a pc way of saying something to make it sound less dangerous and less harmful to this nation. Illegals are just that, harmful. It does not matter who you try and blame for this issue, lazy whites(not taking the jobs illegals will), the government(not stopping the illegals at the border), corporate america(for hiring cheap illegal laborers), the fact remains that they are criminals and that the choice to cross illegally into this nation is their choice alone. The other people are another issue entirely, for if you insist on ignorantly tying them as one you merely make the problem insurmountable. Our government,like ourselves, is better suited and more able to handle any issue when it is treated on the basis of being a stand alone issue. This is for the best and is also the way our laws are legally required to be written, but often are not with disastrous results.
They are the same as well as "undocumented immigrant".
it's basically the same thing
WELL TO ME THE TERM ILLEGAL ALIEN MEANS SOMEONE WHO IS NOT HUMAN THAT CAME HERE ILLEGALLY THIS IS HOW RACIST PEOPLE TRY TO JUSTIFY THEIR HATRED ACTIONS TOWARDS IMMIGRANT BY SAYING THEY ARE NOT HUMAN.
one can speak at least 3 words of english the other cannot.
just dum people dont know any better..
NOTHING
Nothing,their illegals.They have but a short time left.The process of elimination by discrimination and intimidation will soon begin and all illegals will leave in fear of their lives!
Nothing
No difference at all. Those terms refer to one and the same person - a foreigner who enters the US without going through the procedure and requirements laid down by our immigration laws.
Illegal alien sounds worse
