I just had on CNBC. The host, Mark Haines, had two guests with opposing views. Haines, the host, then asked the anti-illegal immigrant guest if he was a "xenophobe, because it certainly sounds like it." When the guest, who ancestry is Armenian and mentioned the Ottoman Empire, explained his position, Haines rolled his eyes and then called him out saying "we are all immigrants except native Americans." Haines, who embarrassed himself IMO, kept emphasizing the word IMMIGRANT as opposed to illegal immigrant.
And unfortunately even FOX news is calling them immigrants this morning. Frustrating.

I'm fed up with these ILLEGALS constantly being called "immigrants." Just now on Fox radio, during the "on the hour" news radio, the announcer mentioned "immigrant" rallies, "immigrant" marches, etc.
Bullcrap.
My Italian grandmother came to this country in the early 20th century. She was sponsored by her brother, who was already in the U.S., LEGALLY. She came over to New York with the permission of the U.S. government, was processed through Ellis Island, went through medical checks, and then went to work in a clothing "sweatshop" in New York City. She received no welfare, no food stamps, nothing was translated into Italian for her, no free medical care,
no free nothing. And not once did she march in the street carrying an Italian flag!
