if you are saying that all Haitians in the Springfield area are legal, how exactly would you know that? If you are saying that all Haitians in the Springfield area are described as you say by all their neighbors, how would you know that?
It has been reported that some neighbors have said the Haitians are as you say, but you forgot to allow that it has also been reported that, according to some neighbors, the Haitians are a big problem and that their presence is strongly resented.
When the subject is 'Haitian problem in Springfield, Ohio', the assumption is that there is a question of whether Haitians there are causing a problem. If I respond in the affirmative, I only have to provide an example or evidence of that being true in order to validate my affirmation. If you challenge that assumption as being UNtrue, you can't just provide an example of it not being true, because that does not eliminate it being true.
So your sentence should read "According to SOME OF their Springfield neighbors, they are honest and hardworking and have normal diets that DON'T include Fluffy or Fido." And to that I would respond with '"So? No one said some were not causing a problem."
See how honesty works? Probably not.
'legal status' does not equate to 'properly processed into a legal status', as he clearly indicates. Therefor, for all intents and purposes, they are in fact illegals...they actually are illegals who have improperly AND ILLEGALLY been given legal status. That's why I call them illegals...because that's what they are.
