“The term “illegal alien” is absurd. But before you get all worked up, let me explain a few things. Alien can mean anything not originally from the area. In the United States, we have labeled certain people as being “illegal” and “alien.” From the viewpoint of an archeologist, historian, Native American or Mexican-American, this label is fallacious.
For thousands of years, these people lived in accordance with the laws of nature, often migrating where food and conditions were better. Some also built extraordinarily advanced civilizations and huge cities, far larger and more complicated than any other in Europe or the world at that time.”
