On his radio show last week, Geraldo Rivera applauded the Associated Press decision to drop the term illegal immigrant from its official style guidelines and then decreed that no one should use the phrase any longer, seeing as how he believes it is akin to saying negro to describe a black person.
You can never use the expression illegal alien again, the radio host said to his colleague Bill OReilly. It is a pejorative. Its like saying negro or homosexual. It is a loaded term that doesnt accurately describe.
Why dont you just give me a list of things I can say? OReilly pushed back.
Illegal aliens and Bible thumping are two things you cannot say, Rivera quipped in reference to his Foxs colleagues controversial remarks about the religious opponents of gay marriage.
Im not giving into this stuff. Youre crazy, OReilly replied. If somebodys in here and breaks our immigration laws, theyre an illegal alien.
Theyre not an illegal alien, the host concluded. Theyre an undocumented immigrant, give them some slack.

If people invade America then they are illegal aliens.
Race is not involved, just country of origin.
Hence, these invaders are ILLEGAL ALIENS.
AMNESTY, NO!
HOSTILITY, YE$$$$$$!
GO HOME, MEXICANS!
Bill O’Reilly: Geraldo face it you don’t like that I call them illegal aliens because you’re ancestors we’re wetbacks... I mean Mexicans.
Geraldo: Sir that was deeply offenive. I am not a Mexican!
Bill O’Reilly: okay so you’re a Latino...
Geraldo: I am NOT a Latino!
Bill O’Reilly: okay so you’re Hispanic...
Typical liberal nonsense....lol
Is whorealdo illegal? Did he slip off the boat unnoticed?
AMEN to that!
Saying “Geraldo” is like saying “stupid”, too-even Janet Incompetano says they are illegal immigrants. Geraldo makes me ashamed to be Hispanic...
Don’t forget “mojado”-that is what many of us Hispanics here whose families are US born for generations call them...
I think that is only on Thursdays, when it rains...
“Undocumented immigrant”
“gay” marriage
“Assault weapon”
“Reproductive” rights
The destruction of the language by the left continues apace.
You'll have to stand in line! He can kiss my white Irish ass on Thanksgiving day in Macy's department store window!
I like the terms “Negro” and “illegal aliens” one is courteous the other descriptive.
What’s next? How about:
“Rapist” is now to be replaced by “undocumented lover”?
Wetbacks
Could call them mojados, (wet).
Rivera has a checkered past that includes rape allegations by Bette Midler.
Perhaps he should be referred to as “alleged rapist, Rivera”.
If I were King, we wouldn’t refer to these wetbacks as illegal aliens, they would be known as ‘inmates’.
If ‘they’ want my respect, its easy..... start out by coming into my country legally and respecting our laws.
Not to mention..... stolen identities.

And voting privileges.
Does Geraldo run the World now?
One more reason that I do not even watch Fox News....

Same here. And I was once a faithful viewer. The husband still DVRs some shows and watches, but I have stopped subjecting myself to their drivel.
