I too find President Trump  reprehensible in his populism. But on this issue I have to side with him. What is the difference between an "undocumented" alien and an "illegal" alien? The mere fact that word games are played over this issue suggests rationalization. How about "entered the country without permission.". Is that better?Regardless of whether or not these individuals are great citizens, great workers, and do jobs Americans just won't do, what is the "acceptable" immigration policy? 

I have yet to see an answer to this simple query. Anywhere. I suspect it is because the critics of deportation are uncomfortable with ANY immigration policy. They don't want one, but cannot bring themselves to say so. If you make it across the border, and are not stopped and sent back, you are allowed to stay. For good. That is the new policy. No limits on numbers or country of origin. All welcome. Only fair? 

Any chance I will get a reply? Or just the uncomfortable silence.
