Quote of the Day by Dr.Zoidberg

[KangarooJacqui]

What is, then, the definition of an illegal immigrant?

This is all getting really ridiculous. So far I've heard nothing in Australia about the term "boat person" being discriminatory. (For those of you who don't know, it means roughly the same thing - except Australia doesn't have land borders with other countries, hence "boat person."

[capecodderathome]

What crap. If they're illegal, call them what they are. PC is BS.

[GeronL]

good gawd.. speaking the truth is now BAD???

[My Dog Likes Me]

If Senator Kerry jumps on this issue with both feet, GWB will lose the election.

[clee1]

Sooooo.... calling "illegal immigrants" illegal immigrants is an offensive slur?????

Great!!! I'll just go back to calling them "wetbacks" then.

[.45MAN]

OK! they are "Unlicensed Long Term Visitor's" NOT!

[Centurion2000]

"I can't speak for other immigrant groups," activist Jerry Gonzalez told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "but on behalf of the Latino community, many people I speak to on a day-to-day basis think it serves to dehumanize the person, makes them less than human.

Someone tell the illegal ALIEN that they are not citizens so shut the hell up.

[ETERNAL WARMING]

An "offensive slur?" No. An "offensive slur" is breaking into our country and then expecting the American taxpayer to subsidize your sorry butts.

[Roscoe]

"undocumented workers"

Who frequently have fraudulent documents and who don't work.

[lentulusgracchus]

Gonzales, who oversees the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials, says many Latinos are offended by the labels.

Actually, if you want to get rid of a label, start with "Latino", which is not a word in English for starters, and which is less descriptive even than the hapless "Hispanic", in the second place.

These cretins have been playing the "you have to use our terminology" (so we can control the discussion/outcome) garbage game for so long -- I really want to see conservatives confront them and their media shower-buddies on this business of torquing the language for Left political purposes. Get after them, and stay after them. No quarter for liars!

"Illegal aliens" is the term used in the U.S. Code. See, just for one example, "Authorizing State and local law enforcement officials to arrest and detain certain illegal aliens": http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/8/1252c.html

It's interesting to analyze news reports' use of these terms. A San Jose Mercury News story got almost everything wrong: http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/000927.html

And, here's a correction of an Arizona Republic story: http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/000897.html

I think if you keep hammering this point about language home, and keep showing the statements of the "leaders" quoted above for what they are, eventually it will sink in.

[Drango]

I say we call 'em what they really are...illegal Democrat voters.

[MontanaBeth]

I prefer "criminal alien" anyway.

[Piquaboy]

How about calling them citizenship challenged?

[NorthGA]

Straight-forward English is apparently too descriptive for those who don't like the truth plainly spoken. Homosexuals do not like being called homosexual either.

[joesnuffy]

These aren't 'immigrants' they are invaders...illegal alien invaders....drug smugglers, violent criminals, & terrorists who also happen to have wives and children tagging along with them to create an image of poor families in need of Christian charity and mercy....

Its a great scam..

The VC and Palestinians used and use similar techniques against the French U.S. and Israel...it enables them to invade and destroy a national infrastructure....they simply hide behind women and children (or use them as bombs or carriers) and prey upon the mercy ingrained into a Christian nation....In the case of the illegal invading aliens Its a passive aggressive invasion/terror technique and a powerful strategy...

The weapons of the illegal invaders aren't necessarily bombs and germs (though that may come to) Mostly their weapons of destruction are to suck the life out of America's institutions and also to commit as much crime as possible making it certain the citizens of the US will eventually petition their govt. to stop the crime & will willingly give up their freedom for security...This invasion force will also will drive down living wages to the point of ridding the USA of that nasty middle class they are so proud of....Another point not wasted on the elite

Illegal aliens are as much an enemy invading force as were the Japs at Peal Harbor...

This wave needs to be turned back ...and force Mexico and the other countries of origin deal fairly with their own people..

Of course it always helps to have a liberal socialist anti American cheerleader group egging on the terrorists...like our elites do

The invader's home govts are run by the greedy, selfish and cruel..... America enables them by taking in, employing, and caring of their people...when it is they who should be doing it...

IMO

"'I can't speak for other immigrant groups,' activist Jerry Gonzalez told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution..."

First off, just how many [other] "immigrant groups" are there, for chrissakes.
In any event...

Why am I not suprised to see this appearing in the Liberal-Socialist, America-Hating-All-The-Time Atlanta Urinal-Constipation?

Even more inportantly, why should anyone care what this idiot has to say?
Tell the clown he & his "Illegally Located *Constituency*" [ILC] have two choices:
1) www.DrPhil.com
2) Tune in to Opra (consult your local listings for time.)

"...'but on behalf of the Latino community, many people I speak to on a day-to-day basis think it serves to dehumanize the person, makes them less than human. Similar to the way the n-word was used to dehumanize African-Americans.'"

In other words, they're objecting to the truth.
Again.

Well most people I know are offended to be refered to as "Gringo" by the Latino Community, as well as a "Dumbass Taxpayer Stooge" by our own government.

...of course we don't count, eh?

[RiflemanSharpe]

I find them being here having broken our laws offensive. I will make a deal, they go home and stop offending me and I will not call them that.

[azhenfud]

"....people who provide a great deal for the economy,"

Say, like illegally taking the American taxpayer to the tune of $40 billion a year?

Hey! when can I begin to "contribute" like them?

[Kenton]

We should go back to "wetbacks".
