How about tool, pawn, and/or Dem voter?

You can moan about being offended, but it doesn´t change the fact that your breaking the law, therefore illegal fits.

Why do these people get special treatment. Über elites treat them like house trained pets. Sorry, but the rest of us out here in real America pay our taxes, comply with the law. We have no representation in DC.

He is right. It would be simpler and more precise to call him a criminal. People who break the law are called lawbreakers, criminals, outlaws, felons etc.

Coming into the country illegally is actually a form of breaking and entering. If the same person broke into and entered a residence or business establishment and were apprehended, they would be arrested and charged with a crime.

This man claims it is an insult to his family to remind people that they broke the law by sneaking into the United States. But since they did break the law by sneaking into the United States, they can, and should, be called criminals. He should count his blessings. Illegal immigrant is actually a euphemism for criminal.

Too bad if you don´t like the facts, you whining Mexican puke. You are here ILLEGALLY and are accurately defined as "an illegal". If you do not like it, GO HOME TO MEXICO, where you are LEGAL.

The only criminals are people who have failed to claim membership in some fashionable victim group.

Fat,old,white,male,tea party,veteran taxpayers are all criminals because the world has been divided into oppressors and oppressed.

Very exciting times if you´re a Marxist.

Feigned indignation - a democrat/Marxist/socialist/communist tactic.

Mr. vargas, just shut up. Then consider what happens in mexico to someone who cannot provide adequate documentation. The answer is, they get kicked around first then sent to jail, then summarily deported, as mexico has the toughest immigration laws in this hemisphere.

"A rose by another name ect.

What would I be called if I tried sneaking into your native country, Mr. Vargas? And how well would I be treated?

He does not need any stinking laws. Just his being here is against the law; that makes him illegal.

I would prefer if they called him "deported"

Just call his family, criminal. You break the law you should answer to the law. Deport this big mouth.

FTA:

Mr. Vargas called himself an “undocumented immigrant.”

"Undocumented" means you have no green card or any other legal permission to be here. It means you´re an illegal alien, no matter your age or who brought you.

Yours sincerely,

Former legal alien/immigrant w/green card

This arrogant fugitive from justice should have been cuffed and lead away on the spot! America is still a Constitutional Republic based on the rule of law, not a Third World Banana Republic based on "The Divine Right Of King Zero." May God Save The Republic!

Here is the real reason why we are afflicted with propaganda stunts like the Vargas appearance before a congressional panel:

Liberals want to silence all criticism of protected groups, no matter how valid the criticism is. It´s called thought control.

Actually he´s a whining Filipino puke.

My question to him would be:"Why do you think you should get to immigrate to the United States ahead of all the people who´ve applied to immigrate legally from the Philippines to the United States?"

I´ll try this if I get pulled over for an illegal left turn:"But officer, it isn´t an illegal left turn. It´s a left turn out of status."

OK, let´s try "inmate."

No getting around the fact Mr. Vargas, you are in the country illegally which makes you a criminal. So go away.

The correct term is "illegal alien".

The most of putting aspect of this spectacle is the absolute GALL of an ILLEGAL ALIEN to LECTURE our CONGRESS about the proper way to address HIM !!!

The arrogance with which they flaunt our laws is breathtaking !

But then again, the men and women who occupy their respective congressional seats are spineless, feckless cowards and free loaders for the mos part and not really deserving of any respectt. So I guess it´s a wash.

The illegal with a grievance complex is from the Philippines. Not surprised, given the wretchedness of that country. Why should anyone listen to him about what he wants to be called? Does he really think we owe it to him to not describe his immigration status as illegal if it is illegal. If he doesn´t like it, let him go back to Philippines, preferably the Manila dump, and make his complaints.

Every post I´ve read so far is missing a very important point. These libs keep saying it´s not a big "crime" to enter the country illegally, or overstay a visa. The point I´d like to make is the guy admitted to working, while here as an illegal, and therefore is guilty of either tax evasion, or identity theft, or both. Both are "criminal" offenses, and not just being here illegally. He is an identity thief. Charge him and put him in jail. Will anyone in the media try to find out whose SSN he has been using?

Arrest him!!

"Illegal immigrant tells Congress not to call him illegal"
I have to agree with this individual. Congress should not call him illegal, instead call him a criminal illegal alien.

I won´t call him an illegal immigrant. I´ll call him what he is: an invader.

That one of these impotent, cowardly Congress wimps had had the nerve to get up in his face and preach the fear of God into this criminal´s face!!!!

This nation died on 11-6-2012. We are just going through our death moans and overall rot and decay now.

Those of us that know this are getting prepared. But those that voted to kill this nation on November 6th are actually going to be shocked when the corpse rots away and they have nothing, and nobody to give them ´´free stuff´´ any more!!!!

How about the new slang based on their own obscure term? "Undocs". Once a Lofo Undoc, always a Lofo Undoc.

Shoot him, he´s a spy...

Who invited him to the hearing? Why did they invite him to the hearing? Which of you out of work MSM reporters feels like maybe he is working in a job the might have been yours?

The ICE Union was there to protest the fact that they are not allowed to arrest him.

As #24 above said, just about every illegal alien who now has a US job, and who before getting that job did not have specific permission from the immigration authorities, has most likely committed a federal criminal felony by either falsifying the federal employee verification Form I-9 by using a false identity, some by even falsely claiming to be a US citizen, by listing on that federal form some sort of bogus, counterfeit, or fraudulent US identification documents. If any legitimate US citizen ever did that on any federal form, and was found out, you can safely bet that they would be criminally prosecuted and convicted of a crime.

Today the country is being run by educated idiots (Democrats) who have been able to fool over half of the American public who then voted for them, so what do you expect to happen?

this does show what should happen....the guy should be called a crimminal and thrown in jail..and everyone of those people who hold a congressional office, should be kicked out for even listening to this guy.
They are helping a crimminal...

Ergo, ...breaking U.S. Law by sneaking across this country´s sovereign border is no longer to be, ´´ILLEGAL?!´´ Every country on the planet has Immigration Law protecting their borders, ...but apparently the U.S.A. is now not expected to enforce our´s?!!! ...By the very ILLEGAL aliens themselves?!! What nerve!

As Yakov would say, ´´What a country!´´ (´´Border,´´ STILL mean things!)

Stop with the word parsing. You lefties all play the game of word manipulation. You are here illegally--that means you are an illegal alien.

Who? If he´s not here legally, he doesn´t exist.

We´re doomed when an illegal can talk to congress like this and get away with it. REMEMBER THE ALAMO
!!!!

How about "Put your hands behind your back. You are under arrest" ? That works for me.

FTA: “No human being is illegal.”

When I was much younger and my son was still a child, I found out the "state" would help me collect my past-due child support---if I applied for AFDC. So I went to the county office to apply. The little twit reading my application said, "It says here you aren´t receiving the child support from his adoptive father, who is his real father?"

I said I had court ordered payments from the adoptive father, she said "We need the real father´s name."

I started to say, "He is illegitimate, I was raped and don´t know the man´s name."

She interrupted at the comma and said, "He is a real child, no child is illegitimate!"

Semantics don´t change the facts, my son was born without a known father and criminal alien invaders are illegal migrants without government permission--in the form of an immigrant visa received before entry--to be in this country.
