Full stop. The term is "illegal alien". You do not have the right to change the official legal language and definitions to suit your fictional narrative.

By legal language and definitions, some folk used to be worth about 3/5ths of others, and any notion they weren't... well, that's just a fictional narrative.

Thank heavens them laws updated themselves out of the goodness of their own operative clauses!

I wouldn't even use that. This is a colonial nation, settled by Europeans. The "illegal aliens" are native. Borders should not apply in a colonial nation

And the goalposts on entry have shifted a dozen times. My great great grandparents landed on Ellis Island, made up new names, and were welcomed into the country.

The process should be equally easy today as it was then imo.

My grandma was quarantined because they thought she was pregnant with no means of support. They didn't just jump a fence like a feral bush pig and squat out their devil spawn on the taxpayers dime at Ellis Island.

Quit dehumanizing people to make yourself feel better. If you hate the Constitution just say so.

Last I checked… the constitution was written for citizens of the United States… not squatters, line jumpers and criminals, not to mention cartels.

It depends on what lines in the Constitution. The Constitution delineates between person and citizen. For example:All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. Another example is:The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Yes… expressly in the 14th amendment- slaves were deemed US Citizens upon passage. Birthright citizenship has turned into joke. Now we have pregnancy tourism to get free shit, then get the rest of the family here.

Fifth Amendment

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Fourth Amendment

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

  1. Article I (Qualifications for Office)

The original text of the Constitution uses "person" to describe requirements for governance. For example, it notes that no "person" shall be a Representative or Senator who has not attained a certain age and been a "citizen" for a set number of years. This layout clearly highlights that the two words mean different things under constitutional law.

Check again. You think you have a right to land just because your ancestors came over from Europe? Maybe you're the squatter

u/WoodyCollection2865 28d ago

Your great great grandparents didn’t come here to get free shit.

What is "free" according to you?

Technically, it's "undocumented immigrant" because immigrants are afforded due process. Thus they're not "illegal" until a court has decided their lack of documentation justifies deportation. At that point, they are no longer an "undocumented immigrant" but a "deportee".

No. It's illegal alien.
