Just to re-iterate, we have discussed and posted such references, but I thought that while NCLR thinks that with the elections and hard pressed economic times taking our focus off, I would post this to remind them and other lurkers out there, that we have not forgotten and will continue to call them what Dictionary.com says they are "ILLEGAL ALIENS", and, also, we are "NATIVE" Americans. If our own online dictionaries and other educational resources calls them for what they are, we should too, so sorry NCLR and all the OBL crowd. You cannot whitewash the fact that they are here illegally and have broken the laws, by calling them something else.
