>Minnesota State Legislator admits to being an illegal and thus ineligible to hold office
She's a citizen. She's eligible to hold office. She immigrated illegally. She was at no point an illegal because she always had legal status, even if it was fraudulently obtained. For the purposes of discussions on immigration "illegal/illegal alien/undocumented/undocumented immigrant" is generally understood to be someone without legal status without regard for how they came here (as it is entirely possible for illegals to legally immigrate and about half do).

For her to be illegal, she would have to have both her citizenship and any applicable legal status revoked, a thing that is unlikely to happen as she was not the person that lied to obtain her immigration status (no willful misrepresentation).

I understand what she was trying to do, linking her personal journey to the struggle of illegals to humanize them and show they can be anyone, but she's just fucking wrong.

As for everyone calling her illegal and calling for her to be fired/deported, you're a bunch of dumbfucks.
