“Illegal” means “against the law.” “Alien” means “foreign.”
“Illegal alien” is an accurate descriptor of foreigners who enter the country in defiance of our laws.

But if we’re going to parse the terms precisely, “criminal aliens” is probably more accurate.

All the “hardships” boo-hoo doesn’t change the legality or the foreign-ness one whit.

Who whote this piece? An ILLEGAL ALIEN!!

[onedoug]

‘Oh, woe is her!’

Why is “it time”.. because this author thinks so?
Or because obfuscating the language helps their cause?

[Tennessee Nana]

ILLEGAL ALIENS !!!

[Bogey78O]

Imagine the words “parking lot”. Now add the word “attendant” to the end. Pretty dehumanizing, right?

[a fool in paradise]

As Amar how he feels about illegal immigrants getting “in state” tuition rates while those legally in this country (as citizens or legal immigrants seeking citizenship or on visa) must pay higher out of state rates?

[Tennessee Nana]

We don’t call people who come to the U.S. via the legal channels “legal aliens” we call them Americans.

No we don’t we call them IMMIGRANTS...

theyre not Americans just because they got off a plane in New York or LA

[FlingWingFlyer]

Amar must be “offended” by being called and ILLEGAL ALIEN. Go to your “safe space” Amar!

Calling immigrants illegal aliens
______________________________

I would never call immigrants “illegal aliens”

I came here as an immigrant...I’m not an illegal alien...

But illegal aliens ???

I call them ILLEGAL ALIENS

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

[SandRat]

Nope! I don't see Mr Worf nor Mr Data in a prison Jumpsuit.

[son of terrence]

Perhaps this putz could unpack the word deutch-bag.

[WKUHilltopper]

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

[FlingWingFlyer]

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.

[Crucial]

Invading extranational?

[lakecumberlandvet]

Cry me a river, snowflake.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Oh let’s just keep calling them illegal aliens. That’s what they are.

[ontap]

Illegal alien is perfectly good legal definition!!!
