Yep, we have to be politically correct. Even though these terms are factual descriptions of certain people, and are not intended to be pejorative, the liberals have decided thst these words are indeed pejorative.

If you can’t even think with these words they can stop certain ideas, can’t they?

This is ridiculous. If “F-ck” became frequent enough to be a topic by some impartial measure, it should be. Let alone this.

And you say it’s libs who put thought second to feelings?

This is library science. This is not a playground for hating from either left OR right. There’s plenty of books that claim the topic. Keep it around, accurately.

Arriving *alien* means an applicant for admission coming or attempting to come into the United States at a port-of-entry, or an *alien* seeking transit through the United States at a port-of-entry, or an *alien* interdicted in international or United States waters and brought into the United States by any means, whether or not to a designated port-of-entry, and regardless of the means of transport. An arriving *alien* remains an arriving *alien* even if paroled pursuant to section

212(d)(5)

However, an arriving *alien* who was paroled into the United States before April 1, 1997, or who was paroled into the United States on or after April 1, 1997, pursuant to a grant of advance parole which the *alien* applied for and obtained in the United States prior to the *alien’s* departure from and return to the United States, will not be treated, solely by reason of that grant of parole, as an arriving *alien* under section

This policy will be in effect until the muslims burn the library down.

Morons. As long as “aliens” and “illegal aliens” continue to invade America, those terms will never go away no matter what a bunch of government employee bozos do.

And anyhow, how are all the books on green Martians arriving on flying saucers going to be found now?

I am amazed that librarians did this. This supposedly objective, if quirky set must really be under the thumb of the left now.

One of the early Donald EO’s is going to have to fix this.

Or, when librarians put out the “Silence” sign, how were we to know that it was meant for the whole world?
