Someone Help Deb with the Definition of Illegal

This new DNC Chairwoman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, is awful. And I'm not just talking about her hair.

Being bitterly partisan may go with the job, but she's so over the top it's hard to believe she's advancing her party's cause. Her latest gem is the assertion last week that 'Republicans believe illegal immigration should be a crime...the Republican solution is to pack them all up and ship them back to their own countries.'

Has anyone heard any serious person articulating this position? Tom Tancredo doesn't count. Why is the concept of illegal immigration so difficult for some to grasp?
