Illegal Aliens or Undocumented Workers?


Well, I turned on the news during my morning coffee as I always do, and they are once again debating the question: Do we call people here illegally 'illegal aliens or undocumented workers'?  We shouldn't even need to ask this question but let's break it down once and for all.

 Illegal - Contrary to or forbidden by law.

 Alien - Belonging to a foreign country or nation.

 Undocumented - Not recorded in or proved by documents.

 Workers - People who produce or achieve. 

 These definitions came from the Google Dictionary.  Now, let's examine:

 * Is coming to America without permission contrary to or forbidden by law?  Yes.

 * If you sneak into America do you belong to a foreign country or nation?  Yes.

 * If you are here in America illegally would you be documented?  Not unless you're caught.  If you are undocumented it is because you are illegal.

 * Can you legally produce or achieve?  No.  Crossing the border illegally is not an achievement, it's a crime.  Hiring illegals for a job is also a crime. 

 As I've tried to explain before, you can be politically correct or you can tell the truth but you can't do both.  

 Let's start calling things what they are.  Feelings should not factor into it.  If the truth hurts your feelings then you need to toughen up.  

 If you are eating an apple, calling it an orange doesn't change the taste.  Call it an apple whether the apple likes it or not. 

 Undocumented Immigrant doesn't work either because sneaking in doesn't make you an immigrant, it makes you a law-breaker.

Illegal Children of Illegal Parents

         I haven't written in this blog for a long time but I feel it's time because people are losing their minds.  I'd like to start with one very important question: What is your solution of what to do with the children?       The options are very limited.  The parents have broken the law and are detained.  Logically, what choices does that leave us with for the children?  Do we send them home with no parents or maybe to live with relatives in their country?  We are feeding them, housing them, and providing people to watch over them.  This is all being done with the taxpayer money of Americans and it's not even being done for Americans.  I would think people would be grateful.  The parents broke the law and got in trouble.  What happens to American kids when this happens?  They are either taken in by relatives or they become a ward of the state.  How is this different?  They ar...

Charlottesville, VA

The racist attacks in Charlottesville, Virginia today have sparked an onslaught of arguments on social media.  When I was growing up in the 70's and 80's we were past racism like this.  We had moved on from the hate of the 50's and 60's when the KKK and Black Panthers were at their peak.  Now, here we go again.  This storm started to stir again 4 or 5 years ago.  This time with white supremacists and Black Lives Matter.  Why?  Because people started being offended by everything.  Today's protests started because some local governments are trying to destroy American heritage and memorial monuments.  I don't mean to sound like an old grandpa but these things didn't happen when I was younger.  We didn't agree with everything that happened in American history but it was still history and was to be preserved.  I'm a southern boy and proud of my heritage.  Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't the south that was racist, it was democ...
