If they are not citezens who crossed our borders illegally then they are illegal aliens. I don’t care if they came here with the cure for cancer, working or not they still are illegal. You can change the name but the fact will still stand.

Sure but I guess the one who contact US citizens and pay them to marry them so they can enter the US legally are not criminal because they are conforming to our bureaucratic policies.

Just terms. The word criminal is a loose word thrown to demonize.

Political correctness to say the least! First it was “illegal immigrants” which did not even exist in the American language prior and now it is “undocumented workers” as that sounds better than some name with “illegal” in front of it.

This is the same reason why the Obama administration i snow calling terrorists “enemy combatants”.

Oh, bad news for Hussein, even liberals like Mr, Proud Texan disagree with his policies.

Hear, liberal Mr Proud Texan, what Hussein has to answer to your question:
Obama said he’s instructed the Justice Department to examine the Arizona bill to see if it’s legal, and said the federal government must enact immigration reform at the national level — or leave the door open to “irresponsibility by others.”

“That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe,” Obama said.

being voted for by an illegal alien doesnt sound as good as being voted for by an undocumented worker.

Amnesty is coming so the administration is brainwashing the documented workers…

Becasue we are starting to realize that it is Americans that hire them and give them the motivation to come here.

I see both terms frequently.

I can see a difference in meaning, too – one is working for sure and the other may not be.

Because the libs are in the process of trying to make them citizens(For the votes of course), and if everyone was calling them criminals it would be harder for them.

All immigrants need to be deported to ensure illegals don’t live in this country.

“Undocumented worker” was a stupid George Bush term.

They are what they are…. ILLEGAL aliens and INVADERS. Let’s call them what they are.
