Bigun, you're completely right with the graphic in post 35.
This has been a goal of the Obama administration for some time now.
That is to say, what they intend to do with "immigration reform" is to literally change the definition of what "immigration" -is-.
There are still those -- like myself, and hopefully a few remaining members of this forum -- who understand that there are TWO different types of immigrants:
1. legal immigrants
and
2. ILLEGAL immigrants.
By using executive powers to diminish or remove both the social stigma and legal sanctions against illegal entry, the Obammunists (and the left) are trying and succeeding to redefine the concept of "immigration" in the sense that the notions of "legality" and "illegality" will no longer apply.
No more "legal immigrants"; no more "illegal immigrants".
Just: "immigrants".
To wit: anyone who can get their feet on American soil, from anywhere, for any reason, will then be an "immigrant" and entitled to all the benefits that were previously only enjoyed by [the now-obsolete term of] legal immigrants.
This is right out of the Orwellian playbook:
Change the language, change the words used, and you will also change how and what people think about such words and the concepts behind them.
'Way back in 1967, it was none other than Jim Morrison of The Doors who wrote:
"The west is the best...
....GET HERE, and we'll do the rest."
And that's what we're going to become.
