House Democrat hits Republicans for blocking attempt to strike ‘illegal alien’ from

A House Democrat criticized his Republican colleagues for blocking several of his Wednesday night attempts to stop the Library of Congress from using the term “illegal alien.”

In a series of tweets Thursday, Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, blasted the House Rules Committee that voted down a series of amendments allowing the Library of Congress to refer to undocumented immigrants as “unauthorized noncitizens” rather than “illegal aliens.”

In an earlier tweet, Castro argued that “Congress has never interfered” with similar proposals before and that Republicans were “making history to preserve a dehumanizing term.”

House Republicans included a provision in a bill funding the legislative branch that blocks the Library of Congress from changing the term “illegal alien” to “unauthorized noncitizen.” Castro’s amendments would have altered the budget bill, allowing the Library of Congress to change how it refers to immigrants in its special headings.

“illegal” - in violation of US immigration law?
“aliens” - non-citizens of the US?

If the answer to both questions is “yes” then STFU and start Joaquin your chihuahua

Liberals and their cultural Marxist politically correct speak. The bane of this country's existence.

Trump is popular because he speaks in an unpolitically-correct way. This makes the GOP elites and liberals heads explode. How dare him! /s/

Rep. Joaquin Castro, Dem-Texas, blasted Republicans......claiming the term “illegal aliens” is dehumanizing.

The Castros are the ones dehumanizing any American that gets in the way of their plans to overthrow the US govt.

The Castro twins and mamasita Rosita.

Julian Castro is Obama's hand-picked appointee to head HUD---an agency infamous for corruption and govt fraud, HUD is now known as The La Raza Bank--withdrawls only.

BEWARE THE CASTROS (1) US Cong Joaquin Castro, (2) his identical twin brother, ex-Mayor Julian Castro--heads HUD), and, (3) their mother---Maria “Rosie” Castro--a hardline Latino Bund member and La Raza separatist. God only knows the tax dollars these three have confiscated for the blood-thirsty La Raza Bund.

BACKSTORY Castro---2012 Democrat convention keynoter---genially introduced the mother, Maria “Rosie” Castro to the convention-goers. Mamasita Castro is a radical ethnocentric, anti-assimilationist....a key figure in the activities of the blood-thirsty, tax-funded “La Raza Bund."

====================================================

AMERICANS ARE ALREADY FUNDING MAMASITA CASTRO'S HATE-FILLED ORGANIZATION: In 2005 alone, $7.9 million in taxpayer funding was given to La Raza Bund charter schools in the form of US Dept of Education grants.

LA RAZA BUND schools stress Latino culture, the Spanish language, the re-conquest of the American Southwest, the establishment of the mythical Atzlan on US soil, and even Aztec math.

In addition to using taxpayer funds to enforce the teaching of murder and violence in US public schools, the federally-funded La Raza Bund operates 100 charter schools across America.

THE LA RAZA BUND TEACHES HATE-AMERICA WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS The La Raza Bund does not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans: La Raza Bund Studies textbook “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323). The following is taken directly from La Raza's Occupied America: “.......execute all white males over age 16,” (p 167--AKA the Plan of San Diego).

===============================================

La Raza also got Democrat Congressional earmarks and tax dollars for "mortgage counseling." The super-secret Congressional Hispanic Caucus calculatedly launched a housing initiative called "HOGAR"-- Spanish for home. Conspiracy and collusion were the watchwords....... race-based "La Raza" was given tax dollars and Congressionsl earmarks to finance its so-called mortgage activities. La Raza's "strategic partnerships” with Wachovia and Bank of America forced the falsifications of mortgage-application and the dumbing down of mtge requirements and documentation standards.......which caused taxpayers to be socked w/ billions in bailouts as the US economy tanked.

La Raza aided and abetted risky federal and private-home loans to latinos over the last decade. thanks to the lending industry’s version of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

In addition to millions of federal tax dollars, La Raza also collected a $1 million Democratic earmark that funded “community-development” projects. Analysts report that much of it went to "mortgage counseling."

I hope to God the GOP has the cojones to hang tough on this. The libs control the argument by controlling the language. An illegal alien is an illegal alien.

They are illegal aliens.
Allowing the left to twist the language and thus control the narrative is why they have been so successful in drestroying our country.

“undocumented immigrants”, “unauthorized noncitizens”, “illegal aliens.”

O.K., let’s compromise, Joaquin—how about “uninvited invaders”?

Republicans do nothing to stop the flow of illegal immigrants but insure that you still have the right to call them illegal. I’m so impressed

Changing the term by which those who are presently undesirables are referred to, does not change the fact that their presence is STILL undesirable.

Calling an a**hole a “rectal orifice” does not change the fact they are still an a**hole.

It’s about time Reps stand up against Dems renaming everything! There is a method in their madness.

It’s not an UGLY “ABORTION” it’s just a “choice”.

It’s not an ABHORRENT “TERROR ATTACK”, it’s just a “man caused disaster” or “workplace violence”.

They are not FILTHY “BUMS”, “HOBOS”, or “TRAMPS” they are just “homeless” or an “outdoorsman” (shouldn’t that be outdoorsperson?).

They’re not a PATHETIC “DRUG ADDICT” they’re just a “substance abuser”.

It’s not an EVIL “SEX CHANGE OPERATION” it’s just “gender reassignment surgery”.

It’s not a DEGENERATE “HOMOSEXUAL”, “QUEER”, “FAG” or “FAGGOT”, it’s just “gay.

The Urban Dictionary under “Liberal Words”

“Words and phrases liberals use to trick and bilk people.
The language of the politically correct wimp.”

defines “gay” as.... (and I am quoting THEM)

“Liberals say “gay” instead of arse-licking, butt-kissing, rectum-reaming faggot. This makes it easier for them to talk about poofters and faggots without discussing the activity that MAKES them poofters and faggots.”
