Illegal "Americans"?

Yesterday, Vice-President Joe Biden went on record as saying that the people in this country here illegally are already "Americans".  I'm sorry, but words have meanings.  In the United States the word "American" denotes somebody who is an American citizen.  The people here illegally aren't "Americans".  They are lawbreakers.  This same man and his party want to make eleven million people (minimum--it would be much higher when you factor in relatives who will become citizens by dint of family connections) legal, ostensibly so they can work and pay taxes.  However, anyone who's been watching and who has half a brain knows the real reason they want to make these illegal people legal is so their party will have eleven million or more new voters, thereby guaranteeing that their party will stay in power in perpetuity.

First of all, I have no problem with people who want to immigrate to America.  I say to those who dream of freedom and who are doing it legally, "Welcome!  I hope you find the freedom and opportunity you seek."  My ancestors were immigrants.  They came, they worked hard, and eventually made it possible for me to be born here and be a free man (although governmental power is challenging that freedom).  What I do have a problem with, however, is wanting to reward those here legally with the big prize--citizenship.  What could be a worse possible message--to make the first act creating a new citizen one which disregards the very law upon which this country is built?  So I say this.  Anyone here illegally needs to leave or be shown out the "door" and then they can get back in line.  We need to seal our borders.  Thousands are coming here each month--it is an actual invasion and it threatens our national security.  All those soldiers coming back from he Middle East with poor employment prospects could stay in the military and be used to secure the country. 
The last point I'd like to make is this.  The president and vice-president swear oaths to uphold the laws of the United States of America.  To give a speech saying that people who are here illegally are technically Americans is to make light of the very laws those people break.  This vice president needs to apologize to the American people and he and his boss need to get back to work securing the borders, ridding this country of those here illegally (perhaps creating employment opportunities for the millions out of work), and instead of issuing ludicrous rhetorical statements, begin to use the bully pulpit to do what they are supposed to--uphold the laws of this country.
