A state legislator in Florida wants to put a stop to illegal aliens no, not undocumented immigrants, but the use of the term "illegal alien in official state documents.
Sen. Frederica Wilson, a Democrat whose district is home to thousands of Caribbean immigrants, said: "I personally find the word alien offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children. An alien to me is someone from out of [sic] space.
She has introduced a bill that would bar a state agency or official from using the term, Floridas News-Press.com reports.
"There are students in our schools whose parents are trying to become citizens and we shouldnt label them, she said. "They are immigrants, through no fault of their own, not aliens.
Wilson said she doesnt like the term "illegal, either.
"I like undocumented better, she said.

Something like that. I think the VMS editor was similar as well.
Carefully look under my Flying Saucer Hat,
there are some illegal Aliens who are hiding there.
Don't cause alarm,
just call for Black Helicopter help.
Watch my eyebrows and I will point to them.
Please remain calm.
Sounds pretty clear to me.
Your definition has the added benefit of applying to extra-terrestrials, too.
For liberals, the amendments start at 3.
How about usiing the term Criminal Alien.That fits them too a tee.
Read the dictionary, you dumb F&^@*. We are not in the business of making laws that cater to your personal Marxist tastes or bowel movements.
Figures. Democrats do have a very Orwellian aspect to them.
I think the Negro senator from Florida, Frederica Whatshername, should be rebuked as an enemy of truth.
I'm sure she'd call me a racist for using that N word- that she doesn't know the meaning of either.
How about "Criminal Intruders"?
The 'politically correct' liberals get worse and worse. I shouldn't even be shocked anymore or question if they'll stoop lower, and they of course will. I suppose they won't be content until everything they deem 'inappropriate' is sensored by the state. They'd love to have all who disagree with their agenda plopped in a jail cell, preferably conservative Christians.
Considering that the original U.S. Immigration statutes designated the term Illegal Alien as a legal designation, it appears that Florida is taking State rights to a new high. The problem is that the Neocoms(new communist/socialist aka Libs)always begin their assaults with an attack against the language and meanings of traditionally understood descriptive terms.
Do dis hat make my head look big?
I like it.
Floridians: find your Florida senator at the link below.
Let 'em know Florida Senate Bill 2154 stinks, and that we should launch Sen. Wilson into an undocumented galaxy on the next Space Shuttle.
They legislators need to hear from us on this idiotic bill.
