Merc, I never said illegal aliens weren't breaking the law by being here undocumented. Of course they are.

Pardon my slip from civility....
I detest the PC term "undocumented" when in fact they are criminals by being here illegally.
Don't confuse that with my full understanding that they have and continue to make a significant contribution to our society. IMHO the issue is much bigger than the simple assessment of contributions members of our social strata make to the whole.
Again, I apologize for draging the threads of another issue to this discussion, since that is now taboo.
