biden with border agent walking by fence

For weeks, the Left has been arguing over “illegal” (the term used in federal statutes) vs. “undocumented” when referring to the millions of non-citizens Joe Biden has let into our country. Which one selection best matches your view on this whole kerfuffle?

Illegal is too politically correct. They are invaders, crossing our borders forcefully and violently.

I’m at a loss for an explanation as to why the left has any followers. It’s so obvious that the libs agenda is not to help the American people, only themselves. They use our money to buy votes by paying off student loans, give illegals support and let our hero veterans suffer, watch the antics of an old man sniffing young girls, squint and stare at a teleprompter, and give the state of union message while visibly impaired. Yet, they will vote for keeping him in the WH. Why?

After yesterday’s BUM RUSH’ by illegals, migrants or whatever you call them, in El Paso, just another example how far out of control Biden’s border crisis really is and continues to repeat itself daily. Whatever you want to label the millions of new Democratic voters this is a sham and Biden just doesn’t care. He has no intention of stopping this onslaught, nor does he care. He lost whatever BALLS he had when he took over and started the destruction of this country in 2021, with his Cave In to the mindless ideas of the left radicals. He talks tough with no solutions, cut will not address questions when he is asked. He is a Punk, who will lie, cheat, and steal to retain power. The GOP must grow some Cajone,s and push back hard to dissolve this pathetic human and his crooked party.

Prior to May of 2021 (first year of the four worst years in American history), the term used in Title 8 of the U.S. Code was “illegal alien.” But of course the leftist haters of America had to “update” their policies and procedure manual by replacing the term “alien” with “noncitizen.”

Then the media and this corrupt administration started calling these tens of millions of third-world invaders, with no skills or money, who have illegally entered American soil as “undocumented immigrants.”

That wasn’t a warm and welcoming enough term, so they are now referred to as “newcomers!” These fuzzy new terms are antithetical to what they really are – CRIMINALS. They crossed our border illegally, and now we have millions and millions more criminals flooding our streets, and receiving more public handouts (welfare) than our own American citizens.

They can spin terms for illegal immigration till the cows come home.  But the term that can’t be spun is “disastrous catastrophe” which is what the Biden Administration has done to our nation. I don’t think Laken Riley’s family, or any of the other millions of families who have lost a loved-one at the hands of these illegal aliens, would agree with calling these invaders “newcomers!”

“You have minds like a snake pit! How do you suppose what you say is worth anything when you are so foul-minded? It’s your heart, not the dictionary, that gives meaning to your words. A good person produces good deeds and words season after season. An evil person is a blight on the orchard. Let me tell you something: Every one of these careless words is going to come back to haunt you. There will be a time of Reckoning. Words are powerful; take them seriously. Words can be your salvation. Words can also be your damnation.”                  Matthew 12:37 (MSG)

Illegal is exactly what it says. Illegal. There are legal ways to enter. If your first act in a country is illegal, every subsequent act will be illegal. You are using the citizens of that country to your own ends. This is not asylum, it is invasion to robbery.

At this point, I don’t think they (The Left) will ever pay an electoral price for anything. Republicans are useless to me now.

Illegals are just that, illegally in our country. Biden has criminally allowed/promoted this to happen and should pay the price for it, but I doubt he will. My fear is that it will take time to stem the tide; meanwhile criminals from other countries around the world are filling our cities, gangs will have the opportunity to band together and become so powerful that it will be difficult, at best, to remove them.

The radical moronic far left is driving the train these days. I believe most “moderate” Dems believe JFK’s Party has left them. Biden is senile. He doesn’t know Tuesday from Thursday. Let me be clear…they are “ILLEGAL ALIENS,” who have broken our laws at the INVITATION of the idiots running the Country. C’mon Donald J. Trump!

Everyone, even Amac, is once again focusing on the wrong thing. I don’t care what they’re “called”, but they must be deported as they have entered the country under terms that are not legal. In other words, ILLEGALLY.

The far left, of which Joe Biden is a card carrying member, is criminally insane! Our Sovereign Nation has been invaded by millions of illegals, many of whom are criminals and/or carrying diseases we long eradicated from our Country! This is a planned attack on our Constitution and Citizens, and the purpose is to destroy our Country as we know it and to keep Democrats, thinly disguised as Marxists, to maintain complete control over our Nation! This is Treason!!

The old adage, ‘The pen is mightier than the sword comes’ to mind here. Though the Left/Democrats are not adverse to using the sword, as their support for the BLM/Antifa looting and burning down of our cities would attest to, their preferred method seems to be that of using the pen. This is the case here where they continual search for that special word that resonates positively within the public vs. illegals which has negative connotations. What we have been seeing for so many years now, has been essentially a psyops perpetrated on the public through words. And it has been working very well for them. One method of many we have seen with MSM (Main stream media), is where positive adjectives are inserted to subject matters that support their cause and negative to those they do not. Though many may not realize it, this works very well on influencing them subconsciously. We also see this with legislation introduced by the Democrats that is often so convoluted that it is actually a 180 from what you think you are actually. Polling, no different. The wording of the questions are almost always geared to favor certain outcomes. Words have power and the Left/Democrats are well aware of this. They are word smiths without peer.

The left, loves to change the wording of terms that make their arguments seem unacceptable to most people. Changing the words illegal alien, to undocumented, is just one in a long list of terms they have adopted in order to make their pet opinions more appealing to the masses. Anyone, with common sense, can see through their attempt at deception. The problem is, we have far too many people (who can vote) who haven’t much common sense.

I like to keep in mind that changing the name of something does not change its nature. No matter what term the Left uses, conservatives/republicans, etc., should tell it like it is: they are invaders: ‘people who enter by force in order to conquer.’

How about just calling this situation an all out assault on our country by illegal alien invading moochers, promulgated by a completely complicit Dem/Communist party. Just yesterday a group of Illegals bum rushed national guard troops. Just yesterday, they pass a 1.2 trillion dollar budget- WITH NO MONEY DESIGNATED TO SECURE OUR BORDER, but plenty for foreign countries and even a D.E.I . Zoo. Vote every last one of these Democrat/communists out of office.

When a person breaks the law, they have done something “illegal,” that is just a fact. I guarantee you that if a white person went into Mexico without properly crossing, the Mexican government would call what that person did illegal, and the consequence would be severe.
It is not a racial thing, it’s just a factual word.

It is about time we all wake up to what is going on here. It is replacement population. Remember the times when the husband worked and the wife was home and things were good. Then the wife had toe work part time to help out so they could make it. Then the wife and the husband had to work full time to just get the end to look at each other to try and make it. The reason is government got to big and demanded more. I am also ticted off at all the money that is given away to other countries that hate our guts. We need to take care of our own first then worry about the rest of the world. Nobody cares about the USA from a another country unless they want money. No one has ever rushed to The USA to help us out, it’s always the USA helping everyone else out. About time we get our heads out of the sand and start taking care of US first then when we are back on our feet them maybe we will think about the rest of the world. Every one have a great day

We have free speech in this country, when they cross over into our country illegally it makes them criminals , they are illegal aliens period. By coming here illegally they in fact make themselves ineligible for citizenship, because they have committed and illegal act. That disqualifies you . Not to mention the out and out treasonous acts that sanctioned the invasion, giving them rights we as citizens do not have.

Semantics! But they do show where the lefts loyalties lie. If an action isn’t legal… it’s illegal. The act of entering the country contrary to current immigration law is illegal. It really couldn’t be any simpler to grasp… or shouldn’t be.

illegal beaners crossing the border with impunity makes not a country. ammo up because this is an invasion and the police are only 20 minutes away when seconds and your life count. we all saw how the police were so gung ho to beat up, arrest and abuse USofA citizens during the scamdemic and give way to the illegals and now all they do is take AAR (after action reports) after finishing their donuts. they showed their true willingness to destroy and take away citizens rights during that time. it was a great eye-opener to see how the LEO community (“doing what they were told” is not excuseble) will react in a real disaster when martial law might be enacted. they will be the enemy of the people and abuse us. that is the beauty of the 2ndA because history showed true human nature to the founding fathers such that they knew We The People would have to protect ourselves against enemies foreign and domestic.

The CommieCRATS can no longer hide their Communist agenda, so they are resorting to ‘Word Smithing’ and lies! This same trick was used by the Communist Soviet Union and Mao Sedong of the Chinese Communist Party of the past. They want the ‘Illegals’ here to replace Blacks and Hispanics who have smarten up and saw the ruse, lies and deception played on them for decades. The Democrat party of old is no longer! The one we’re seeing today is corrupt and full of treachery, and they loathe our Constitution! Make no mistake that there is a new Civil War brewing! And, we Patriotic Americans better wake up and start taking up arms! Because if the CommieCRATS can win at the ballot box, they’ll resort to violence, chaos and mayhem! May God save us!

Once again there should be an “all the above.” But what really chaps me is the use of the term, immigrants, when referring to illegal immigrants. If they didn’t come here legally, they are illegal aliens. It seems our politicians have no idea how to define a person no matter what their status is. And leave it to the radical left wing media to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

The “Rosenberg” type Americans: Soros, Fink, Zuckerberg,Cortez, Swalwell, Raskin, et al are all behind this. Oh, how could I forgot the sugary sweet black marxist, Obama, who hates this country and white people. Remember, it was Obama that wanted to “transform” America. If he liked this country, and he does not, why would he and that charming thing he is married to, want to transform America? What you are watching, is the Soros backed invasion/transforming of this country. How many times has his son been to the white house? These people all whisper in Biden’s ear and Joe does their dirty work. Just what do they have on Joe? Is he paid off- probably. Is he a pedophile? Could be; who was the young child he was showering with? We have sick, demented, deviants who run our government. In true marxist fashion, they are indoctrinating our nations young children. Randi Weingarten ( the deviant), is nothing more than a Soviet commissar who heads this indoctrinating. And when parents speak out, i.e. resist? Why, they get arrested by the police that you all love so much. Now before you get your undies in wad, I am a former peace officer from the mid-west, and I do not like the way I see the police being used. I can hear it now: “The police are just following orders”. That’s the Nuremberg answer: only obeying orders. Remember that when a Lenco Bearcat truck is on your front lawn, and your “friendly” local police are coming in to take your guns, while you have a combat boot planted on your face! In a totalitarian society three bodies of power are co-opted: the military, the intelligence services and the police- local/county and state. Freedom of speech is stopped. Look at how social media did the dirty work of the corrupt US Govt. to silence us. They brook no opposition and you have seen this in action. The corrupt, dirty system is going after Donald Trump with hammer & tongs to keep him out of the White House. The Left is terrified of this man; they will do anything to stop Trump- anything!
The communist democrats and their general secretary, Biden, want a style of government akin to China.
Gotta go for now.

The Leftist (Communist) Democrats are cunning like a fox. This is a well laid out plan to put more bodies in key locations to increase the number of Democrat seats in the House and to obtain more votes to keep themselves in power. What do they care these people are illegally in the country and by large contain a criminal element. They (the Democrats) view these illegals and the American population the same. Just pawns in the game to obtain and maintain their power. Our country is in serious jeopardy with these Communist controlled Democrats in power. It may be too late. The Republicans that many of us Conservatives count on are just as power hungry. They do nothing, except maybe distribute a few of the illegals into their districts.

The Blieden Administration’s goal is to sink America and the American way of life. They are a Godless bunch who are in the White House illegally. And on that thought, when one enters this country breaking its laws, they are ILLEGAL. Nothing but. Walls are good for a country. Even Nehemiah was instructed to build a wall around the city. On a side note, ‘illegals’ are taking away many taxpayer resources from the elderly in the U.S. Our Social Security System Recipients have been taxed 3 times after paying in taxes their entire life. My thought is to reduce the government by 50% and we’ll all be a little better off. Trust in God as He is our only hope. Do not put your trust in the government and its politicians and do not fear what man can do to us. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Tim 1:7). But we will not fear the politicians because their time is coming.

If someone is in America and they are “undocumented”, then they have broken our immigration laws. If they have broken the law, then they are her illegally. Duh. They have the choice to be a “legal immigrant” or an “illegal immigrant”. Leftists play wordgames to try and justify their disregard for the laws that help ensure social cohesion.
In this case, logic overrules feelings.

I am disappointed. First, I am unable to vote in this poll. Just get the spinning waiting ball,. then told I must vote for at least one answer. Never given that opportunity. As for the question at hand, illigal alien denotes someone who crossed into our country without going through the legal means of applying to enter. Undocumented is someone who doesn’t have all his/her papers in place quite yet. Completely different. This is the left all over.

Yes, the devil has its army too and they’re called democrats or demoncrats. I will trust the Lord and not place my confidence in man.
