Arizona’s Supreme Court Justice has agreed to enforce the Hispanic Bar Association’s demands of banning the terms “illegal” and “aliens” in all of the state’s courtrooms. Claiming that the terms are inflammatory, the president of Arizona’s Hispanic Bar Association, (known as Los Abogados) has asked state Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor to stop using them at trials or hearings because they create perceptions of judicial bias.
In a strongly worded letter to the chief justice, Los Abogados’ president says attaching an illegal status to a person establishes a brand of contemptibility, creates the appearance of anti-immigrant prejudice and tarnishes the image of courts as a place where disputes may be fairly resolved.
It further points out that no human being is illegal and that a national Hispanic journalism association has roundly criticized the reference for dehumanizing a segment of the population. The letter goes on to criticize the state’s High Court for using the term “illegals” in at least two opinions and the term “illegal aliens” in dozens of others.
It concludes with a list of acceptable and unacceptable terms relating to illegal immigration. Among those the group wants banned are; immigration crisis, immigration epidemic, open borders advocates, anchor babies and invaders. Among the acceptable terms are foreign nationals, unauthorized workers and human rights advocates.
What are they going to call that movie? Uninvited Guests?
They just elected the world president... every one is a citizen.
Under the existing law, the term is “unauthorized aliens.” This is really getting Orwellian.
Here we go — in the face of the Constitution. The radical anti-American leftists on the bench are taking off. We expected this.....the SCOTUS is going to be flooded with blatant violations of Constitutional law.
So what do we call them now? Document challenged?

How about plain old “f-ing foreign criminals?”

U.S. Code; Title 8:
Section 1325.

Immigration and Nationality Act Section 237 (a)(1)(B)says: "Any alien who is present in the United States in violation of this Act or any other law of the United States is deportable."
I like the term “Criminal invader” better anyway.
How about CRIMINAL INVADER?
Good name. They are now officially known as uninvited guests.
I like that too.
Beat me by two seconds... ;-)
It’s an outright attack on free speech. paging ACLU... paging ACLU...
Will I get in trouble if I drive my car into Arizona with the words illegals and aliens emblazoned across?
