“O’Reilly should start calling them Wetbacks when Whorealdo is around.”

I agree. We were told not to use the term “wetback” because it is racist, so it got replaced with illegal. Now we are told not to use the term illegal because it is racist and insensitive. Some suggested we use the term undocumented, but even that has come under fire. The plan is to embarrass Americans who make a distinction between citizens and non citizens. If every word we use to make that distinction gets besmirched by the left, we might as well go back to the colorful term “wetback.”

The left always wants society to stop using a label that tells the truth about what it’s labeling.

The problem is, whatever new term they come up with soon comes to mean what it is labeling, and the truth about the group or object or concept then becomes associated with the new label, and that new label then becomes “offensive”.
