[San Francisco Giants pitcher Ramon] Ramirez...is not an “illegal” anything. Like every one of the 30 percent of Major League players born outside the United States who aren’t citizens, he lives and works here under a P-1 visa, often referred to as an entertainment visa....But then, no human being is actually “illegal” at all. It’s just an ugly slur that’s been mainstreamed.
