Thread: Putting ‘illegal’ back into illegal immigration: Doug McIntyre

Let me suggest the use of the phrase "illegal entrants", which I believe more accurately describes who is being talked about.

Because they entered legally, but refused to leave on time, they are now illegal aliens because of illegal presence. It's illegal presence that makes you an illegal alien.

I still believe "illegal entrant(s)" is a far better phrase with respect to border jumpers.

How so? They are not illegal entrants, they entered legally on visas. Border crossers from Mexico sneaking in without permission would be illegal entrants, but not the visa overstays, seems to me.

I was referring to border jumpers.

Oh, yes, they are indeed illegal entrants, but I thought we were talking about the visa overstays. Sorry!!

Hey, I actually like "border jumpers"!! That nails it.

Either way they will be going back and should be refused entry for at least a very long time if never at all. These Visas will not be renewed as we have 94 Million Americans out of work they need those jobs, not people from other countries that are willing to work for peanuts. We seriously need to eliminate the population in this country of people who do not belong here and take care of our citizens first as Trump so proudly states.
