again, equating "illegal immigrant" to "illegal driver" is wrong.
the analogy is false.
it is not a matter of one's "POV"--it is a false analogy.
there is logic. there is a requirement that terms used to describe a social phenomenon minimally correspond to that phenomenon. the term "illegal immigrant" does not meet that requirement.
to the extent that there is an "issue" being discussed here, it has been framed in a fundamentally disengenous way. most of the more noxious aspects of this thread have followed directly from a simple mapping onto the social world of the consequences of this disengenuous framing.
