But it certainly makes for a convenient modern cover for same. Don't think we haven't noticed the hiding behind the term "illegal." This is one of the things that has bothered me the most in the modern debate. Frame something ugly in an innocuous term and you've got the argument skewed. The right has been scarily good at this for some time and I find it profoundly disturbing.

Ugyl and innocuous? How about descriptive? They are here....illegally.

This may be the most offensive thing I have ever read on this board, lizziebith. You think this is a right vs. left thing?
