So it's ok to dress up like a nun and mock Catholicism in San Francisco but you can't make fun of illegal aliens. Go figure.

Anyone can bash any conservative or Christian group - but NO DEM VICTIM groups can be made fun of - they're sacred.

You can be an illegal alien or you can be an immigrant, but you don't need an immigration visa for the former but you do for the latter.

No idea why an "immigrant rights" organization would get all huffy about non-immigrants.

I think they really mean "people of a certain skin color who speak Spanish as a first language" and nothing more than that ~ kind of like they've been profiling people or something.

This “ILLEGAL ALIEN” costume idea is hilarious! (But shouldn’t they be wearing the Sheriff Joe style of Illegal Alien Costume, with pink underwear and the black & white horizontal striped jail suits?!)

Too bad Target has buckled under pressures & complaints and will stop selling the ORANGE illegal alien costumes. We need to AT LEAST be able to JOKE & LAUGH AT & MAKE FUN OF ILLEGAL ALIENS, while we wait for the Cowards-in-Chief to DO SOMETHING TO SEND THEM HOME!

BTW, every American should be harrassing their Senators & Representatives for “NO AMNESTY” or we’ll end up with millions of newly legitimized ALIENS who will soon be VOTING and we all know where THAT will take us!!!
:-(((

This reminds me of the Phil Collins/Genesis song of the mid-1980’s ‘...it’s no fun being an “Illegal Alien.”’ I liked the song and thought the video was pretty funny too. You’ll note that NOBODY plays that one on the oldies stations. LOL

I do not think you people realize your insensitivity. I, for one, would NEVER wear such a hideous orange jumpsuit. Nor is my complexion so sallow. That rendition looks nothing like me and it is highly offensive.

“get rid of the GREEN CARD, and Replace the ALIEN MASK with a full head OBAMA MASK... then let’s see HISSY FITS”

Replace the Green Card with the Race Card.

Some conservative outlet should buy out Target’s inventory. If they don’t all sell this year, they will next.

A person could create their very own illegal alien Obama costume with an Obama mask, orange jump suit and a copy of the fake birth certificate.

Costume would be more authentic with the following:

A backpack containing the Mexican gov't's handbook on how to get on the US gravy train.

The Mexican gov't's instructions on how to plead "persecution" to get $1000 Social Security checks monthly.

The name and phone no of the nearest US drug lord.

A wallet full of false identities, credit cards, several SS cards, 20-30 voter registrations.....and $20,000 to pay off the right people.

“No if he shows up on your doorstep you are going to have to give him free health care, Section 8 housing, food stamps, free education for his kids, a motor voter registration card and a lawyer. Kind of hard to fit it in his bag.”

The Squatter Support Squad will make sure he gets a bigger bag, with your taxdollars.
