Liberal Media Scream: ‘No such thing as an illegal immigrant’......
washingtonexaminer ^ | 12/31/2018 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 12/31/2018 10:49:54 AM PST by caww

This week’s Liberal Media Scream features the fight over the caravan of illegal immigrants on the U.S. Mexico border..........Only this time the battle on TV wasn’t over laws or President Trump’s border wall but over what to call them and the liberal refrain that nobody can be “illegal” despite how the government refers to unauthorized aliens.

Sunday morning on MSNBC’s "Up" with David Gura (with substitute host Yasmin Vossoughian), Maria Hinojosa, anchor of NPR’s Latino USA, condemned outgoing White House chief of staff John Kelly for referring to “illegal immigrants.”

Picking up on an interview Kelly did with the Los Angeles Times, Hinojosa scolded: “In that interview he immediately says — first of all he calls them ‘illegal immigrants.’ There’s no such thing as an illegal immigrant, sir, no illegal human being in the planet ... General Kelly, there’s no such thing as an illegal human being. How many times do we have to say this? Get your grammar correct, okay?”

Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains our weekly pick: ..“Talk about a disconnect between the public and the very liberal media elite of National Public Radio where, apparently, reality cannot intrude upon politically correct thinking. If you enter the United States illegally you are an ‘illegal’ immigrant, no matter what Hinojosa wishes were true.”

Fine. Then let’s abolish ICE, INS and all the immigration courts and return the money to the people.

I agree. They are illegal aliens, not immigrants.

If there is no such thing as an illegal immigrant, then there is no such thing as a legal immigrant. OK, everybody leave. Yes, even you, “native” Americans.

She’s right. ACTIONS are illegal. People who do illegal acts are criminals. The correct term is criminal aliens.

She’s correct. There is no such thing as illegal or undocumented immigrants. There are immigrants, legal aliens (VISA holders), and illegal aliens.

Immigrants are invited, Invaders are repelled.

That’s right !!!

There’s IMMIGRANTS and then there’s

Illegal aliens...

IMMIGRANTS IMMIGRATE...

Illegal aliens don’t...

IMMIGRANTS have the IMMIGRATION documents given to them by the American government to prove they have IMMIGRATED...

Illegal aliens don’t have any IMMIGRATION documents...

However they may have some fraudulent documents ...sold to them by Saturday night special types of criminals...

so yes there is no such animal as an ‘illegal immigrant’

;)

That's exactly what the demwits want. Build the wall and name it The Singh Wall.

I agree they are not illegal immigrants. Naming them immigrants implies they are staying.

I believe most if not all should be denied any kind of entry/visa.

They most certainly are illegal in the sense that they have broken numerous laws in their trek to our border. They come with the intent to break our laws. The term illegal aliens fits, but really illegal invader is probably more accurate.
