That is some fine examples of twisted logic. :bangdsk

That would be a true statement, but superfluous because in most jurisdictions citizens far outnumber illegals.
You mean "citizens far outnumber non-citizens," because "illegals" could mean any criminal in the States.
For that matter, we could call illegal aliens "criminal non-citizens."
BTW, I'm pretty sure I saw Nmysys speeding today on the highway. Until he is brought to justice and made to pay for his crime, that makes him a "criminal citizen."

Sorry to disappoint you but I haven't even been out of the house today, no less speeding on 285. Really can't say that there is ever a need to rush to get anywhere.

Overgeneraliztions= message failure.
Of course not, they become criminal as soon as they violate the laws of either country. Crossing our border without proper authorization or over staying one’s legally authorized stay, is a violation of the law and as such is criminal. Whatever the reason for violating the law, it’s still criminal. :bash
Grady is a lot like one of those Japense soldiers they found in caves 5 years after the war was over..

You have no proof; you might have seen somebody who looks like Nmysys, driving something that looked like Nmysys’s car. Therefore you cannot state the Nmysys is a criminal, and without knowing if Nmysys is a citizen or not you cannot even state that Nmysys is in fact a citizen.
An illegal alien however has committed an illegal act, either by sneaking across our sovereign border or by overstaying a legal visit. They have no right to be here, unless they have been authorized by the federal government. No you cannot tell an illegal by appearances, or by language spoken.
Just for clarification I am reasonably certian Nmysys is a citizen in good standing and not a criminal.
