Illegal Immigrants

I heard an immigration lawyer and human rights activist speak this morning on the complicated process of immigration law. Aside from being befuddled by the broken system and bureaucratic layers, I thought one thing they said was particularly interesting:

"We don't refer to murderers or bank robbers as illegal murderers or illegal bank robbers, so why illegal immigrants?  Let's try to refer to people as non-US citizens."

What befuddles me?

The legal immigration process.
