Keith, you are correct. There is no statute of limitations on being 'illegal' vs. 'legal'. You don't get a prize for living here illegally for X number of years...

"CONGRATULATIONS! You've managed to avoid capture or deportation by the federales, so you can call yourself 'legal' now!"

In Moonchild's example, she uses a person who is not a citizen but is in this country legally. This is apples to oranges different than what we've been discussing. But of course, she knew that.....

Hmmmm, I always thought a LEGAL ALIEN was one who went through the proper channels, applying for and then receiving a Green Card, and other documentation to make it legal for them to work and live here. The eighteen years of which you speak is the time required for a legal alien to live here before being allowed to apply for full citizenship.

Actually, yes you do. It's called being a LEGAL ALIEN. But its a long and
boring process, but worthwile. My best friend, who is also and immigrant
is 18, and can not get a college grant because she has not become a US
citizen yet. but I'm sure you aleady knew that. Anyway, if you read my
entire message im sure you remember me talking about "the other end of the
stick".
