Undocumented Workers
I just had an absolute epiphany. The left in this country have been trying for some time now to change the meanings of words. They have been making certain words incorrect and even illegal. One of those phrases is that we are now supposed to use "undocumented workers" in place of "illegal aliens."
Many people, including myself, have been fighting this redefinition of words. However, in this case, I am now incorrect. They are no longer illegal aliens, they really ARE undocumented workers. How else do you explain 300,000 non-citizen, undocumented workers employed in North Carolina with exactly ZERO fines for employers who hire them? Apparently the left is now correct on this word usage -- not because the word meanings have changed, but very clearly and obviously, it is no longer illegal for a non-citizen to enter America and work. Sue Myrick, a representative in Congress, wants to raise the fine on employers from $250 to $10,000. Now Sue, you know I like you, but ZERO times $10,000 is the same as zero times $250. Our country has given up. We have absolutely no one in power that wants to fight immigration. We have no borders. Undocumented worker is now a reality. There is no such thing as an illegal immigrant in the United States today. (Hat tip to Pirate's Cove).

I'm still going to call them Illegal Aliens. They are in the country illegally.

I have a suspicion that this will be the hottest issue in the next Presidential election. Not that I expect anything to really be done about it, but it should garner some votes. I am still amazed how they can simply ignore all the laws on the books as if they do not exist.

But how can something be illegal if no one is being arrested or punished in any way? It is really sad, and I think the only way it will become an issue in the next election will be if a 3rd party steps up. The Dems and Republicans very clearly do not want to do anything about it, so only if someone else starts making a lot of noise will it be an issue.
