Immigrants Not Amused by ''Illegal Alien'' Halloween Costume

Target Anyone who's walked down Santa Monica Boulevard on Halloween night is well aware there are plenty of tasteless costumes out there.

From over-sexed nuns to ... well, we can stop our list of examples at over-sexed nuns. That pretty much sums up tasteless costumes.

Well, this year, you may notice a new tasteless costume in Los Angeles: The "Illegal Alien."

"He didn't just cross a border, he crossed a galaxy!" according to the costume's description. "He's got his green card, but it's from another planet! Sure to get some laughs, the Illegal Alien Adult Costume includes an orange prison-style jumpsuit with 'Illegal Alien' printed on the front, an alien mask and a 'green card.'"


TOPICS: Miscellaneous; Unclassified
KEYWORDS: aliens; amnesty; byebyeusa; immigrantlist; invasion; latinoscomplain
It's "distasteful, mean-spirited and ignorant of social stigmas and current debate on immigration reform," says Angelica Salas.

L.O.L.!....Bite me!

Of course, the sacreligious theme of over sexed nuns is not considered objectionable by the L.A. Times. Nor are the other costumes that play on a sexual theme.

And remember, the term “illegal alien” is not approved of by the MSM. The approved politically correct term is “undocumented immigrant”. To them, illegal alien is akin to the “N” word for black people.

The funniest phrase in any language is:

That’s not funny!

“Immigrants Not Amused by ‘’Illegal Alien’’ Halloween Costume”

How about, “Unemployed American Citizens Not Amused by Illegal Aliens Getting Employment”

The funny part about it is that this is the image they've been trying to paint about illegal aliens:

Please note (again), the above aren't my thoughts, but thoughts expressed by a lot of the same people who are whining about this costume now.

For example, in this libtard blog:

When you hear someone refer to an undocumented immigrant as an “illegal alien,” do you feel that this phrase in any, shape, or manner dehumanizes the person in question? Moreover, do you feel that the phrase may be intended to dehumanize the immigrant?

Now that somebody has actually created a costume built upon the rhetoric, they are still whining.

They just need to stick a sock in it and stop their incessant whining.

What a stupid headline. Who cares whether they are amused or not? They should not be here in the first place!

Yup.

That's what so torques me off regarding these idiots. They should CELEBRATE somebody putting this costume out: See, this is an illegal alien. In the real world, they are undocumented workers.

But instead, they fall prey to their hyper-sensitivity.

Why should immigrants be offended? Illegal “immigrants” aren’t immigrants at all. They’re foreign outlaws.

2009 Halloween Custumes:

Scary but, there or no documented aliens from space.

Really scary as our nation is overran with illegals, and one may be illegally our president.

Word has it the space aliens are complaining. “Hey, we don’t drive our spacecrafts drunk, hitting people. We don’t form street gangs or drop anchor babies or crowd the emergency rooms or collect welfare. We don’t go around saying things like, ‘For the aliens, everything; for the earthlings, nothing.’ We are offended by this costume!!”

The other 200 million of us are offended by illegal aliens regardless of costume.

We sure have an unhappy lot of illegals inside our nation.

If they’re so unhappy, why do the remain here?

Get the F off our soil you ingrates.

While they are clearing off the shelves at Target, I want them to remove the Obama book they are selling in the children’s book section. It is a piece of propaganda that would have made the leaders of the Hitler Youth and Goebbels proud.....

Okay. I’ll stop using illegal alien. I will use the more accurate term criminal alien.

To reiterate what I said in my earlier post, those views were what I’d repeatedly heard from the libs about how we were “insensitive” for using the actual legal term
