That's waycist: the last refuge of the progressive scoundrel.
It's racist, even though there is no reference to race in the term. It's "coded" you see.
And besides, it's wrong to say that something illegal is actually illegal. These folks are simply "undocumented," which makes it sound like the dog ate their papers as they were crossing the border.

I prefer ‘Illegal Inhabitants’ or ‘Foreign Invaders’. ‘Immigrant’ has a positive tone to it so it does not apply to ILLEGAL activity.

He’s right. They should be called “alien invaders”.

The left has achieved so much success with the charge of racism, they apply it to every opposition they encounter.

I am offended by the term, "Illegal alien". The correct term is
Undocumented Democrat

They must never be referred to as "immigrants". That's because you have to have an "immigration visa" to immigrate to this country.
They are, instead, illegal aliens ~

rush limbaugh talked about “illegal immigrant” on his show today. There is no such thing as an illegal immigrant! Try illegal invader, etc. It can only be legal immigrant.
To: mojito
Fine. I don’t care what you call them, just deport all the “economic refugees” who are in the country illegally.

He prefers economic refugee. Pfffft! A couple years ago, they were trying to change the term to "undocumented citizens." Don't change the language you use, people. One of the first things you learn in debate or law is if you can get the opposition to accept and use your terminology, you control the debate and have a much stronger position. Don't fall for it.

I honestly don't think the word "wetback" is a slur at all. Instead, it's a descriptive term rooted in an historical fact.
Furthermore, during President Eisenhower's administration, the very effective "Operation Wetback" campaign was in full force. I was in my early teens at the time and I don't recall any objections whatsoever to the name. In fact, all real Americans applauded the program and its positive outcome. Frankly, we need to have "Operation Wetback 2.0" now. With our improved technology, it can be even more productive today.

Truth is always “racist” to leftists. Any criticism of Obama or any other leftist (even white ones) is “racist”. The dirtbags don't realize that they wore out the race card years ago, and every time they play it they automatically reduce themselves to the level of racist buffoon Al Sharpton.
