Every country is against illegal immigration, that's why it's illegal. The question should be how much immigration should be legal.

You're not Jesus.

I admitted no such thing.

See above

You should, if you want to discuss it.

So now you can call it illegal immigration, but before you refused to call it what it is and said it was derogatory and possibly racist.

Pull the log out of your own eye is a common phrase, unless repeating it makes me Jesus, I'm not sure.

If you read back you will notice that I avoid the use of the term "illegal immigrant", not "illegal immigration".

Being technical doesn't make you PC.

This "technical" difference is really important to the argument.

Nope.

I'm curious..since people are talking about how much immigration should be legal, I assume that means they feel we should be letting more people legally into the country then we do now. So..does anyone know how many people enter this country legally from Mexico every year?

According to this about 3.3 million people from Mexico are lawful residents in the Uniter States (about 25% from a total number of 13.1 million).

Additionally there were about 11 million naturalizations from 1980 to 2013. Assuming that about 20% of those were Mexican (http://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/naturalization-trends-united-states#1) we can add another 2.2 million people. So there would be around 5.5 million people who were born in Mexico and reside in the US legally.

Then don't respond and it won't add to the vilification.

I wasn't the one vilifying him, so I don't see what that has to do with anything.

You could have just, I don't know, stayed on topic like I'd asked.
