Andrea Admonishes Buchanan: ‘Immigrants, Not Aliens’

I’ve never seen anything quite like it. A network correspondent presuming to school a pundit in PC-speak . . .

It happened on today’s Morning Joe. Discussing Pres. Obama’s announced plans to address the immigration issue, Andrea Mitchell claimed that “there didn’t seem to be as much anger about immigration.” Retorted Pat Buchanan: “just you wait and see!”

When Buchanan went on to make the point that there is very high unemployment among black and Hispanic American citizens, and that “illegal aliens” are taking their jobs, Mitchell jumped in to reprimand him:

CRIMINALS, not immigrants.

"My husband, network and myself are above the law.
We will NEVER reveal our roles in the financial mess."

Ah yes. The "don't try to confuse me with reality" finger.

No Andrea, “immigrants” means they’re staying, “illegal aliens” means I want them to go back home!

[incredulous joe]

Wow! We got rid of the tube in our house 14 years back.

So, I occassionally watch snippets of the news here.

No offense to Mr. Buchnan, but when I am exposed to TV news these days I can only say that it is absolutely freakish and unlike anything that I remember before I tuned out.

Until “undocumented” workers start doing journalism jobs and serving as the Fed chairman there will always be Andreas. They’re just soooooooooo compassionate until . . . .

Andrea Mitchell, leftist apparatchik. Immigrants come here legally, illegal aliens sneak in.

Here is how the language has evolved on this issue:
Wetbacks
illegal aliens/immigrants
undocumented immigrants
immigrants

Criminal eco terrorists, to be exact. Eco for Economic. Unfortunately, the writing is already on the wall that Obama and his band of thugs will further hasten the decline of our formerly great nation by dragging 30 or 40 million new welfare recipients into the DemonRAT permanent voter base. The liberal drive by media is just starting to grease the wheels, and no one is going to pay one bit of attention to the voices of opposition. They'll have so many soft in the head “Rebublicans” on board who don't want to appear mean spirited that the next to final nail in their coup will go almost unopposed in Congress. The hypocrisy of the speaker of the house telling groups that the enforcement of immigration laws is un American is without bounds. Couple that with the Congress Critters meeting and embracing Fidel Castro and we have a large group of basically lawless anti Americans running the show, and they deserve to be run out of the country. We are being assaulted on every front and the best analogy I can find is the battle of the bulge. The only question is will we go quietly with a whimper or will there be a fight?

Well stated.

I think the PC brainwashers (education system) in America has so thoroughly dulled the American sense of resisting the Left that it is a lost cause. Tea parties are great, but if amnesty goes through, we are finished as a nation, which is the goal of the puppet masters pulling Obammie the Commie's strings. Create a welfare class that is over 50% of the vote, thereby winning elections for Socialists. Spend and print money until the US dollar is worthless. Drive the recession into hyperinflation. Enact draconian socialist measures (price and wage controls added to all the other regulatory restrictions that have strangled free enterprise in this country for 4 decades). Eventually, the American people beg their leaders to sign on to the International Economic Ministry, to dump the US dollar and adopt the global currency (Special Drawing Rights or SDR-equivalents) that the IMF produces. Voila, the global socialists — who took the ideas of both Marx and Gramsci and Ruskin and Rhodes and their Fabians and put money behind the movement through a cartel of international bankers called the Federal Reserve — stand victorious.

The people won't revolt because they'll control food distribution.

Immigrants are those who come to a nation under its immigration laws and policies. That does not include crossing the border by dark of night or overstaying one’s student or tourist visa.

If they start this BS again we will have to mount a protest twice as big as they had to suffer through last time.

ALIENS: An unnaturalized foreign resident of a country.

[Above My Pay Grade]

Beside the fact that illegal aliens is a perfect description and immigrants is deceptive, ‘alien’ is the official designation, according used by USICS and the IRS.

Even a legal immigrant with a green card is officially called a ‘resident alien’.

Please consult the new American dictionary of liberal English...illegal alien: (1)"Blue-eyed white men" (2) CEO's (3) Christians SEE ALSO "terrorist"

[PubliusMM]

Andrea, Andrea, Andrea... STFU. You are nothing more than a dim bulb stooge for the 0bama Socialists.

The simple fact is that Pat was correct. These people are ILLEGAL ALIENS, and I don’t give two hoots in Hell where they come from...south of the border or Uranus, Jupiter, or elsewhere in the Milky Way.

It’s time to take back the country.

I’m betting without any fight at all.

Don’t even try to suggest a revolution again, even while quoting Jefferson. Hell, he’s unamerican now.

Nothing will be done with force, which means nothing will be done at all.
However, I am ready right now.
On a minute’s notice, so to speak.

Let this (along with others) national disaster happen on “One-Term-Obomba”s watch. They will own it.

He is turning out to be one HHHHHeeell of an expensive disaster.
