MoveOn’s Quest to Outlaw the Term “Illegal Immigrant” [claims its hate speech - barf]
FrontPageMag ^ | May 3rd, 2012 | Joseph Klein

Posted on 05/03/2012 6:40:29 AM PDT by kevcol

Just when you would think that the far Left Obama booster organization MoveOn.org could not get any more ridiculous, it sinks to ever lower levels of absurdity. The latest example involves MoveOn’s push to render the phrase “illegal aliens” or “illegal immigrants” hate speech.

A video posted last week at MoveOn.org’s website charges that calling illegal immigrants “illegal” fits the definition of a hate crime and calls for the word “illegal” to be abolished when describing individuals entering the United States illegally. They would prefer using adjectives such as “undocumented” immigrants or “unauthorized” immigrants.

Would that not constitute Congress, once again in defiance of the US Constitution's Bill of Rights, making a law abridging free speech?

I will call them "illegal immigrants" in defiance of democrats and congress which I hold in personal contempt anyway.

No problem as I feel the term illegal immigrant is just some more partial wordsmithing by liberals.

Lets use a term which accurately describes what they are:

Criminal trespassers!

They are trespassing therefore they are criminals. How is that hate?

I whole heartedly agree as they should be defined properly as undocumented socialist or liberals.

AuntB, please refrain from using the terms ‘illegal alien’ and ‘illegals’ in your comments.

That is offensive to those ‘hard working Americans’ who snuck across the border to come here and ‘pay their taxes’, err I mean collect those tax credit (welfare) checks for all their kids in Mexico.

Viva Obama, Viva McCain, Viva Graham!

...... aliens; borderjumpers; colonizers; criminals; foreigners; gate-crashers; illegals; intruders; invaders; lawbreakers; non-immigrants; occupiers; squatters; unauthorized; undocumented....

All good ---- all very descriptive.

But this word sums up neatly the mindset, character, thieving activities and proclivities of illegals---"SAVAGES."

AuntB, please refrain from using the terms ‘illegal alien’ and ‘illegals’ in your comments.....it's "offensive" to hard working Third Worlders who violated our borders, just here for "a better life" and to do the jobs Americans won't do .....and to scam and steal using multiple identities...including $$billions of EITC tax credit checks for non-existent kids "left behind" in Mexico.

Treasury Department Says Illegal Aliens Collecting Billions in Tax Credits According to the US Dept of Treasury’s Inspector General, more than $4.2 billion in additional child credits were paid out in 2010 to illegal immigrants. In 2005, the pay outs totaled $924 million. This program allows low income earners to claim a $1,000 per child credit. $20 billion EITC is estimated to have been paid out to these cunning "impoverished" illegals. Most of them are collecting over and over again-----using multiple identities-----falsifying official apps---claiming children they do not have and/or falsely stating kids are back in their homelands.

REFERENCE March 8, 2012 KENNER, La. -- Kenner police arrested illegal Marvin Baca who sold false W-2 forms to another illegal immigrant for $1,500. Baca sold fraudulent W-2 forms for $1,500 to other Hispanics here illegally.

Police said that on one of the forged W-2 forms had a SS no of a person living in Virginia. Police said illegal Hispanics purchase fictitious W-2 forms and file false tax returns with the government to receive EITC refunds. Baca was charged with one count of ID theft and two counts of forgery.

<><>June 26, 2010 An illegal using multiple identities was sentenced to prison and ordered to pay back $3 million in fraudulently obtained unemployment compensation. Manuel Mejia Ordonez, got eight years for conspiracy to commit mail fraud........and identity theft.

===================================================

The "just here for a better life" crowd who freely violate our borders and "do the jobs Americans won't do" have more criminal enterprises than you can shake a stick at.

<><> Hilderberto Salinas sold state drivers' licenses issued out of the state’s Motor Vehicle Agency in NJ to illegals with multiple identities who did not have the necessary id's....among 40 people who participated in the widespread ring. "Impoverished" illegals paid $2,500 to $7,000 apiece for the licenses.

<><>ICE's "documents and benefits fraud task force" found a common practice among "impoverished" illegals is to buy several faked identitues for several thousand dollars each----the illegal then votes and rides the US gravy train under several names. Jose Madrigal---the Washington state rapist---had some 30 identities.

<><> July 21, 2006----NJ BERGEN RECORD---Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity, NJ L/E authorities said. The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses----for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said state police.

The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker.

Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot. The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. After a search, police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards.

I agree, “illegal immigrant” is technically wrong because the word “immigrant” has historically referred to foreign citizens who become “permanent residents” of the US and have been issued a “green card.” Using the word “immigrant” for these illegals smirches the millions came to this country properly.

The proper designation should be “illegal alien.”

Ok, I can agree to stop calling the Illegal Immigrants, because that really doesn't describe them accurately. How about this one?

"Criminal Entrant"

I got this from Hillbuzz where Robert James has a great post about this issue here: http://hillbuzz.org/the-left-got-it-right-lets-drop-the-i-word-50071

OK, lets not call them illegal immigrants, lets just call them criminals. It works for me. Illegal immigrant, is a term that implies to me that they might have let their visa lapse and are still paying taxes and being productive members of the economy. If the wack-job libs don't like the term, lets just call them criminals.

On another matter, wasn't it the National Socialist Party and the Communist Party that were big on identity papers and not allowing travel freely between places? I guess from a historical basis, we could look up what a person traveling with out proper authorization was called in such places and use that term. Oh, yeah the term was often “dead.”

Maybe Illegal Immigrant doesn't sound so bad after all. (/sarcasm)
