Lawyers, Lexicologists and Dancing Angels - "U.S. immigration law calls a foreign national’s arrival in the United States, without inspection by a border official, an “illegal entry.” The law refers to those who make an illegal entry as “illegal entrants.” Having crossed the border, illegal entrants are said to be “unlawfully present” in our country.
