I am in agreement.
I have every sympathy for illegal aliens and support Obama’s plan to deal with those who came to the US as children. Nonetheless, that doesn’t change the fact they are illegal or, if you prefer, came here illegally. Actually, the word “alien”
All it means is foreigner.Hi
To be honest I would be more offended by he word “Alien” than illegal… It has a very negative tone to it.
You mean the episode which used the term “Indian giver” (which, of course, I’m not familiar with) and ended with the Chinese mailman (excuse me, mailperson, not maleperson) who would know the Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood?Even a neutral term - displaced persons - at some juncture became a derogatory reference.
However, one need to consider that it is the user who twisted the usage and intended the insult - the term itself was not meant to be offensive.
Likewise, political correctness taken to extremes is likely to have odd consequences.
Of course, like many such things, this subject matter was covered in a memorable “Seinfeld” episode.
I agree. The people aren’t illegal, they’ve committed an illegal act.
as in, someone who lost their passport while on holiday?
I once stole a man’s wallet and told the police it was “undocumented removal,” so as to avoid offending other criminals.
I think your infinite loop just blew up Skynet.
I had just demolished political correctness!
