At the end of the day, every single undocumented immigrant in this country is a person. Can we all agree that? Which means they can’t be illegal. No human being is illegal. And just like no human being can be illegal, no human being can be alien.Come on everyone how can you argue against such a logical argument. I totally see the errors in my ways.
Tough to pack so much specious logic in so few words. I like how the argument by the authors admission doesn't hold for most of the day.
Can we all agree .... you know next what is coming is BS

Perhaps this putz could unpack the word deutch-bag.

‘Illegal Alien’ perfectly describes what it is. Or perhaps ‘Alien Invader’ might work too.

“it’s time” == I’m 22 and I’ve been hearing about this since I was 5 years old. That’s like 17 years and stuff.

BTW: Should we stop calling bank robbers and thieves, bank robbers and thieves? How about murderers, what should we call them? They’re humans too! What about rapists and racists? What should we call them? Stick to taking pictures you idiot and leave the rest to the adults.

Can you see what I’m getting at? No.
a·li·en. [ˈālēən]
ADJECTIVE
1. belonging to a foreign country or nation.
We don’t call people who come to the U.S. via the legal channels “legal aliens”...
No, we call them "immigrants".
What an idiot.

the proper term is Registered Alien
a green card is a Alien Registration card...
it has a number which is later annotated on the right top corner of the Naturalization document when the immigrant becomes an American citizen...

Amar: “We don’t call people who come to the U.S. via the legal channels “legal aliens” we call them Americans.”
Don’t you know that every tourist or ambassador who visits or has business negotiations in the USA is “now an American”?

I have to describe my Canadian wife when suitable. I have used it to describe myself when visiting Canada. It is not derogatory, nor is the term alien.
