Parsing words

In watching the debate tonight on Fox News Channel I was struck by the fact that these guys really are good with parsing of words.  Of course to come this far in any national election one would need to be, but the fact that we as Americans accept this and try to find some truth in it is quite amazing.  The subject of immigration of course came up and all offered some opinion as to what to do with the "illegal" immigrants that currently reside here in our fine country.  The 2 million that have committed a CRIME must be deported, was the common understanding.  And I guess that my understanding must be challenged on this particular issue.  Would the fact that they are here illegally constitute a crime of sorts?  So then I guess if that it's not a crime to be here illegally than maybe leaving them here or granting them citizenship doesn't mean amnesty either.  And of course I am not certain that the answer can be easily decided upon, but one thing is clear it won't be solved in the next president's term no matter who it is.  

Additionally, I noted that Senator McCain stated he knows how to solve the problem of securing the borders and that currently his home state of Arizona has one of the biggest problems of illegal immigration.  How come he hasn't already resolved this issue so that the illegals would have to go through Texas or New Mexico?  Just a thought.
