Thank God the "AP" decided to ban the used of the work "illegal immigrant." Illegal immigrants, or illegal Alien are two words you'll rarely ever hear
me used, unless I'm quoting someone. Using the term" illegal immigrant" is nothing but hate speech, and I don't believe there is such thing as an
"illegal alien/immigrant because everybody in the world has unalienable human rights regardless of their immigration status.
If you visit Mexico, you as an American citizen have basic human rights in Mexico. If a Mexican with papers or without papers visits the USA, he also
has basic human rights in the USA, and US constitutional laws on human rights have to be followed.
Saying somebody is an illegal alien/immigrant is like saying somebody is an "illegal person," and it sounds so silly. How can somebody be an illegal
person? See it just doesn't sound right, and it's not right:
_______________________________________________
AP bans use of the term 'illegal immigrant'; some newspapers undecided
As lawmakers in Washington debate the possibility of legalization for 11 million immigrants, a more basic question has emerged in the nation's
newsrooms and beyond: what to call those immigrants.
Most news organizations have long used the term "illegal immigrant," which some people find offensive. They prefer "undocumented," arguing that
"illegal" is dehumanizing and lumps border crossers with serious criminals. Some even view "illegal immigrant" as tantamount to hate speech and refuse
to utter it, referring only to the "I-word."

Joe.......If you're refering to bodily functions, a right to breathe, for instance, you may have a point. Other than that, you're worse than naive.
The US should box up the entire ACLU, along with the 9nth District Court, and run them south across the border, against the flow of illegals, and
tell them to stay there until they get it just the way they want it.

Your last few sentences I agree with. I think there should be a quicker process for these people residing and working within the USA to become legal.

That's right. Change the law, not the language. |
Ha ha. I'm for changing both!

Isn't that illegal? We'll have to ask the Supreme Court about that.
Ohhh....they're busy? How about the Supremes then:

How about those pesky Illegal's
http://www.workplacewire.ca/immigration/americans-top-list-o...
By the way The term Illegal Imergant is the legal term in a court of law. It is how people with out documents are termed by the US government. I think
this whole thread is us talking about the way would like to see the deck chairs arranged. Nothing to solve the real issues.
The topic is to keep us looking a what the left hand is doing, while the trick is with the right. Also maybe pick up a few votes.
