Victor Espinosa, a lecturer in sociology at Ohio State University, has been telling students that they are forbidden from using the term ‘illegal immigrant’ to describe immigrants who did not enter the country through the legal method. Because – drum roll – it is offensive.
Mr Espinosa has written to at least one student telling them they ‘will not be allowed to use the term illegal to refer to an unauthorized immigrant’ because it ‘dehumanizes, marginalizes and racializes the people it seeks to describe.’
In his wisdom and generosity, Espinosa grants that students may use the term illegal immigration – ‘since it describes a social process’ – but ‘you will not be allowed to use the term illegal to refer to a human being.
‘Hi Hannah,
‘Welcome to the class! Very interesting post. In your post you used the term “illegal immigrants”. You should know that in this class, students will not be allowed to use the word “illegal” to refer to an unauthorized immigrant. The use of the term “illegal” by politicians and news media outlets to refer to an unauthorized immigrant, not only criminalizes undocumented workers, but it also dehumanizes, marginalizes, and racializes the people it seeks to describe.
‘In this class you can use the term illegal immigration, which describes a social process, but you will not be allowed to use the word “illegal” to refer to a human being. Starting next week, any assignment or discussion post that uses the word “illegal immigrant” to refer to an unauthorized immigrant will not be accepted.
‘Please see me in my office or send me an email if you have any questions about the organization of the class or assignment guidelines.
‘Thanks for taking this class!

How about wetbacks?
THE Ohio State University.
Hired one of their Marketing MBAs once. Bad move.
Border crashers.
If Victor Espinosa should die at the hands of an illegal alien, the needle on my “give a flying crap meter” would not budge one damn bit.
The sociology lecturer is a de facto political officer at this point.
Mexcrement isn’t ok either I guess.
So I suppose the absolutely correct terms “illegal alien” “unlawful alien” as used in our statutes would be out of the question?
I would love it if the Chinese invaded Mexico and imported 20 million of their own to “Mejico” to improve the economy down there.
What would Pedro and Juan think about immigration then?
From the 14th Amendment:
"Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
Note that the 14th Amendment was recently used to reprimand UC Berkeley for abridging free speech.
UC Berkeley settles landmark free speech lawsuit, will pay $70,000 to conservative group
However, if State of Ohio or Constitution-savvy judge doesn’t reprimand the lecturer then patriots all over the nation need to do the following to rescue this student.
Patriots need to elect a patriot Congress in 2020 elections that will promise to exercise its 14A powers to make penal laws to discourage state actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated rights, 1st Amendment-protected free speech in this example.
Insights welcome.
Deportables..:)
She needs to refer to them as “criminal trespassers” then. And since this professor is so interested in not offending, he should also inquire as to this students pronoun of choice like a good lefty would.
from top to bottom, our employees are Trump supporters. It took YEARS to be subtle about our hiring practices. To add, they are very capable in their jobs and rarely let someone go...except for the 10 times we hired and fired a liberal intentionally XD
Conservative students should drop this useless class, too.
I suppose that some of these ‘unauthorized immigrants’ who have raped and murdered should just be called ‘unauthorized violators’ or ‘unauthorized terminators’.
… opposed to “dreamers” which patronizes them.
Crimillegals is a better fit.
#20. Let’s reverse what you wrote, i.e. “Criminal Alien Invaders”.
Make it “Criminal Invading Aliens” - VOILA - CIA!
Mojados
Back in the 1920’s the people doing the beating would have been done by Democrats who made up most of the membership of the KKK. Now Democrats are his enablers.
criminal aliens?
