More on Rich Pellegrino: Another letter in today’s Marietta Daily Journal

Larry Todd/Letter to the Editor: No ‘illegal aliens’?

Published: 11/08/2007

When one’s argument is lacking in substance, you can always resort to semantics.

By redefining “illegal,” the term no longer applies. Continuing with Mr. Pellegrino’s logic, a drug dealer would be reclassified as an “undocumented pharmacist.”

I don’t think the voting public will buy into that logic, as there still is pressure from 85 percent of the voting public to close the borders. It appears we need new legislators to enforce old laws instead of old legislators developing new laws promoting amnesty.

Don’t forget: We were attacked on 9/11 by “undocumented pilots” that killed 3,000 innocent civilians, destroyed two magnificent towers, four commercial aircraft and damaged our Pentagon. The closing of our borders is one small step in the right direction, regardless of your interpretations of “illegal.”
