On his radio show last week, Geraldo Rivera applauded the Associated Press’ decision to drop the term “illegal immigrant” from its official style guidelines and then decreed that no one should use the phrase any longer, seeing as how he believes it is akin to saying “negro” to describe a black person.
“You can never use the expression ‘illegal alien’ again,” the radio host said to his colleague Bill O’Reilly. “It is a pejorative. It’s like saying ‘negro’ or ‘homosexual.’ It is a loaded term that doesn’t accurately describe.”
“Why don’t you just give me a list of things I can say?” O’Reilly pushed back.
“Illegal aliens” and “Bible thumping” are two things you cannot say, Rivera quipped in reference to his Fox’s colleague’s controversial remarks about the religious opponents of gay marriage.
“I’m not giving into this stuff. You’re crazy,” O’Reilly replied. “If somebody’s in here and breaks our immigration laws, they’re an illegal alien.”
“They’re not an illegal alien,” the host concluded. “They’re an undocumented immigrant, give them some slack.”

What p’s me off the most is that the government probably pays way, way more attention to us FReepers than it does to what? 10 15 20 million “undocumented” immigrants?
Europe has been far too tolerant of "squatters" who shack up in someone's property uninvited and then demand "property rights" when the building owner wants to tear it down and build something else ON HIS LAND.
Hang on, so he thinks you can’t call homosexuals, homosexuals even though they’re homosexuals, HUH,
can’t call immigrant who are illegal , illegal immigrants because they’re illegal immigrants
more proof of the left and their mental disorder
“They’re an undocumented immigrant, give them some slack.”
*********
What is he talking about? They’ve already been given an abundance of “slack” by this country. Free medical care, numerous government benefits, free education, drivers licenses, sanctuary cities, preferential college tuition, etc.
Can I call them transnational trespassers?
Ok, just call them “uninvited criminals.”
Nothing is wrong with using the term Negro, Jerry.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I will use the correct term of ‘criminal alien’ at every opportunity.
Geraldo Rivera is faced with AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH.
No more saying “reporters” either. It’s just like saying “idiot”.
Can I call Giro-dildo an “Obamahole”?
Agreed.
America has really become a pathetic country compared to what it once was.
This.
the NAZIS and the left which are one of the same, always use language to put a nice face on their agenda
homosexuals and they take a nice happy word as .
Illegal immigrants and they want undocumentated.
Govt health socialist care is affordable care act.
War on terrorism is , hell knows what they called that.
The list is endless and it’s how I always make a left wing fringe loon out right away.
We just live in two countries.
So, breaking the law doesn’t make what you’re doing illegal?
*******
The very first act upon setting foot into this country is beaking the law. Try that in some other countries in this world and see what happens.
Umm, they're going to make you say "golf pants."
No more saying “Geraldo” because it’s like saying retard.
OK...how about Undocumented Illegal Migrants?
or Displaced Illegal Itinerants?
or Lost in the USA Illegal Drifters?
Fox News sucks too. Geraldo says we can’t say homosexual illegal immigrant. Perhaps it hits too close to home, eh esse’?
