i dont necessarily see anything wrong with that statement. They should not be treated equally...but that isnt to say they should not be given a chance to fix there status and join everyone else. Its just a statement that explains what an "illegal" is. I did not read the whole article but i personally do not see anything wrong with that statement. He isnt saying in addition, that they should all be sent home or something like that.

To Alex:
