Curious indeed. I wonder if she means she entered the US illegally, or she overstayed a visa and so became out of status illegal?

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Selma H. is so dumb, she doesn't even know that she wasn't an illegal alien.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

really? she was out of status, and had she not "fixed" her immigration issue promptly - she would have remained out of status. at what point in your mind - would she have become "illegal"? or would she never been illegal simply because she entered with a visa?

Since you asked, let me tell you the difference of an illegal alien and someone who is out of status.

An illegal alien is someone who entered the US without permission, without a visa, without inspection (EWI) totally under the radar, so to speak. This usually happens in the trunk of a car, or by crossing the Rio Grande, or by climbing over a fence. The US government has zero information about the person, doesn't know who he or she is, and what his or her reasons are.

An alien who is out of status is someone who entered the US with permission, with a visa or VWP, with inspection. The US government knows who is is, his age, his address, everything.

An illegal alien can never adjust status to a resident; an alien who is out of status can, easily.

An illegal alien is like someone who entered your house though the back door. You don't know the introder's intentions. If you call the police they will arrest him and charge him with breaking and entry.

An alien who is out of status is like a guy you invited to a party. You opened the door to him but when the party's over, he's still hanging around. No need to call the cops, as he has not committed a crime. If you ask him to leave and he does, everything is fine. That is what the police would suggest you do when you call them.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

How do you reconcile that both are deportable on their own merit?

That is irrelevant to the issue at hand (Illegal Alien vs Out of Status).

Just because both a human and a dog can be drown that doesn't make us the same things, right?

The point I am trying to make is that in the eyes of USCIS - both are illegal (and thus deportable). That's what makes it relevant.

But even USCIS make a distinction:

Illegal Alien (Illegal Entry) can not adjust status within the US.

Unlawful Presence (Out of Status) can adjust status within the US if they are the spouse of a US Citizen.

So, yes both are deport-able but no they are not the same.

Kind of like, driving without a license is an arrest-able crime (in most places) just as murder is an arrest-able crime (in most places) but that doesn't make them equivalent.

Sine there are situations where the difference between illegal entrant and visa overstayer make a world of difference I wouldn't suggest lumping them together much like I wouldn't suggest lumping B-Visa entrant & Visa Waiver Program entrant together as the VWP entrant waives some important stuff that offers the visa holder protections a VWP entrant specifically doesn't get.

To say they're the same you have to be able to match them in every aspect, not just a few key aspects. I guess that's the point I was trying to make.

They also lump them together as all "undocumented". So a bit of both. Regardless if they did enter with inspection - they are still referred to by USCIS as a significant portion of the undocumented immigrants in the US.

the typical way of entering the undocumented population in the United States is to arrive as a nonimmigrant and stay beyond the specified period of admission. This segment of the population, referred to here as "nonimmigrant overstays," constitutes approximately 40 percent of the undocumented immigrant population residing in the United States.

You're right just like dogs & humans are lumped together as mammals!

Again, here in this forum when discussing immigration matters these things do make a difference and using the larger broad stroke type label does nobody any good but rather in muddies the waters.
