The lone abstention came from student Sen. Solomon Nwoche.

Nwoche said while he sympathized with the situation, he thinks the resolution does not accomplish anything substantial. He added he was disappointed in how a student who spoke against the resolution at an earlier meeting was treated by student senators, who laughed or had their backs turned when the lone protestor addressed the dais...........................More proof liberalism is a mental disease.

Hopefully this will keep them safe when walking the streets of Oakland at night.

Berkley is the cesspool of anti-american thinking.

The technically correct term is “illegal alien”.

As a school of “higher learning” they should pick up a dictionary and look up the term, “illegal”, them “immigrant”. They also need to be told that PC is just another word for lying to excuse bad behavior and/or shift blame to others.

That’s right. An immigrant is by definition legal. A person who is here without the legal right to be here is never an immigrant.

The UC Berkeley student government has banned the term “illegal immigrant” from its discourse, deeming the phrase racist, offensive, unfair and derogatory.

Is this not quite a turnabout from the 1960s when Berkeley led the way with crude, offensive language and flag burning? All in the name of "free speech!" Do their parents approve. Will you be kicked off campus if you utter those words? Do, in fact, the words speak truth?

Are the UC Berkeley students insulting legal immigrants, who waited in line to become citizens? What country do these students represent? Did UC Berkeley dumb down their entrance requirements, or are only Democrats accepted at the school?

This from the home of the 1964 “Free Speech Movement.”

Correct. They have no intention of becoming Americans.

If the abstention hadn’t come from someone named Solomon Nwoche, the proverbial kettle of tar would be boiling about now, and the crypto-communists there would be looking around for vegan feathers.

This is the real meaning of Mario Savio's 60's rant and protest for "Free Speech" as a forerunner of the hippie movement. It was a protest outside of the Constitutionally guaranteed "freedom of speech."

Mario Savios protest was that speech must be "OUR FORM" of "free speech." "OUR FORM" of "free speech" is WE can use foul language anytime we want to and we can ban YOU from expressing certain opinions or concepts offensive to us.

Mario Savio and the hippie movement was the harbinger of Socialist tyranny and oppression.

My how times have changed. They went from wetbacks to illegal immigrants to illegal aliens to Obama voters.

***No human being is illegal***

Don’t think so? Why don’t you smart-a$$e$ go climb the White House fence and run as fast as you can up to one of the windows. And tell the Secret Service you have a right to do this because you’re ‘human’.

If you’re still alive come back and we’ll see if your perspective on illegal entry has changed.
