Rootedness of illegal aliens
Newt Gingrich says we shouldn't deport illegals who have roots here. The Pew pie chart shows that only 15 percent of illegal aliens have been here less than 5 years. According to the lower graph, 46 percent have minor children here in the country. By Newt's standard, few of the ten million (Pew's estimate) should be sent home. (I love the term "unauthorized immigrant." That's like calling a burglar an "unapproved entrant.")

Technically a burglar steals. 'Trespasser' is closer to 'unapproved entrant,' and probably has similar connotations.
