No, the U.S. Constitution belongs to We The People, NOT any Third World Julio who sneaks in to try to get the benefits of Citizenship, without EARNING it.
Instead of taking up a crusade against the TERM “illegal immigrants,” they should take up a crusade AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
When I first read this, I thought it was satire (”...educate journalists about the hurtfulness of phrases like “illegal immigrant...”). Guess not.
It did give me an idea for a video production: “JournOLists Gone Wild!”
I’d be fine replacing the term with “foreign invader”, personally.
They are correct. There are legal immigrants, non-resident aliens, and illegal aliens. The term, “illegal immigrant” is an oxymoron, as no illegal alien should ever be allowed immigrant status.
... oh, but journalists are just “reporters.” They don’t have an agenda.... right? Uh, no? Gosh. Don’t tell me they’ve been liars this whole time! My world will collapse.
What they’re planning on replacing it by the term “wetback?”
Problem solved!
How about “People who get all the free stuff”?
It contains lots of short words that Journalists can easily spell.
I’ll be more than happy to drop the term “illegal immigrant” from my vocabulary and use the term “illegal alien” in its place.
I agree we should replace “illegal immigrant” with something more definitive.
I suggest “border jumper”, “invader”, or “criminal interloper”. Other more colorful (and pejorative) appellations might also suffice.
I am going to take up a crusade against the term “Society for Professional Journalists” since they’re neither professional nor journalists.
Syme to Winston, cafeteria
‘The Eleventh Edition is the definitive edition,’ he said. ‘We’re getting the language into its final shape — the shape it’s going to have when nobody speaks anything else. When we’ve finished with it, people like you will have to learn it all over again. You think, I dare say, that our chief job is inventing new words. But not a bit of it! We’re destroying words — scores of them, hundreds of them, every day. We’re cutting the language down to the bone. The Eleventh Edition won’t contain a single word that will become obsolete before the year 2050.’
As a replacement term I nominate “F`ing Foreign Invaders.”
