What used to be "undocumented" has now been recently morphed into the legal term "illegal". Translating to, if something is illegal, it must be bad and therefore made legal, else suffer consequences.
Undocumented people are not registered with the government, therefore they are not able to simply walk into the downtown government office and ask the lady behind the desk for monthly benefits, for she would simply say: "I am sorry, without proper ID I cannot locate you, please come back with valid ID."
We were halfway there. But not anymore. Now people are hollering and screaming for people to become "legal", else call them invaders and criminals. When we were halfway there, property rights, contract rights, free to associate and freely travel were almost, though not quite, the norm.
Undocumented people cannot legally collect benefits. For those who use stolen/counterfeit documents, there are already laws in place to deal with that. But instead of closing whatever loopholes did exist, and holding government employees and bureaucrats accountable if/when they do provide benefits to those who do not qualify, the new fad is to rename the undocumented person as an "illegal", convert them to "legal", and therefore comply with a system that provides full legal benefits, mandated minimum wage and tax revenue to fund the Fed.gov.
Whether documented or undocumented, we have a Bill of Rights, a list of Natural Rights that do not apply only to Americans. If any person, documented or undocumented, commits a crime, there are laws to deal with that which involve having a court date and facing the accuser. As it stands now, the en vogue thing to do is to blanket-statement everybody who is not "legal", a criminal.
A crime is when harm has been done to person or property. Toking a joint, j-walking, agreeing to a wage or bartering behind the governments back are not crimes against person or property. But because the recent trend is to consider undocumented people as "illegals", people are all too happy to count them as criminals, inflating numbers that should be declining.
Folks, it is not immigrants who "hate us for our freedoms"; it is blow-back, and Americans who buy into the government propaganda that only wishes to grow itself. The end-goal is to have every man, woman and child "documented", and with todays technology we all know that Biometric ID is here to stay. You will be tracked, located, can no longer live off of the grid, no matter where you go throughout this country or the world. But instead of focusing and promoting the ideals of "liberty" and "individualism", many are succumbing to the manufactured rhetoric which only assists TPTB in their goal.
It is another 911/TSA, all over again.
