This writer should look up the word “alien” before opening his gob. There are 5 meanings, 4 of which refer to people and only 1 refers to someone from outer space. Such BS!
Stupid.
The legal term is ‘illegal alien’.
Period.
“Amar Batra.” Indian name.
A lot of older conservatives probably don’t understand that the massive influx of Asians into our universities is a large factor driving the new PC on campus. Most young Asians buy into anti-white multi-culturalism. It benefits them to push whites aside. Asians come from cultures that have zero respect for free speech and other “rights” and carry those values with them into America. They are not assimilating in any meaningful sense.
Indians are especially bad. They come from a tribal society where ruthless power struggles between factions are part of daily life. Indians really embrace anti-white ideology with enthusiasm. Indian Hindus vote for the Democrats at a higher rate than any group other than blacks do. Indian immigration needs to be stopped completely.
This is why I have simply stopped talking to these people.
I could think that he/she/it doesn't know the difference in context between "illegal" and "alien" when used in immigration terms versus humanistic terms, but I know this person likely full well knows the difference in context.
It's time-tested, and can't be manipulated to confuse people.
No, we do not call them Americans until they become naturalized citizens and we celebrate their achievement.
The operative word is ILLEGAL. Different factions may follow the word, illegal, with a word of their choice.
Illegal alien
Illegal immigrant
Illegal documented
Illegal un-documented
giving them rights
Incorrect, rights are not given or granted. Rights are inherent.
Immigration reform is one of the largest human rights challenges of our time
Incorrect again. Immigration law enforcement is the challenge. America is not enforcing existing Immigration Laws.
There is a well documented distinction between someone who has entered America legally and someone who entered illegally.
Why does the left spit on Immigrants who came here legally?
These same people believe that humans are no longer “he” or “she”.
... Close your eyes for a second and imagine the term “alien”. What comes to mind? Probably something not human
Utter nonsense. I know what an alien is. Some one from another country or me if I go to some other country. As for the other worldly crap, I never saw a martian or an alpha centurion and until I do an alien is someone from another country!
You do not get to change the language. They are Illegal aliens not undocumented persons. They are homosexuals not gay men.
Dehumanization of the species is the intent of the language, and it is just fine thank you.
I’m perfectly fine with using the term “criminal alien” in place if “illegal alien”
Illegal Invaders.
Immigrants (Aliens) are Invited. Invaders are Repelled.
“Undocumented immigrants” IMPLIES that this is a temporary situation and some day they ALL will be “documented immigrants”.
Nope. I agree that illegal aliens are people. That makes each one of them an illegal alien person. People are perfectly capable of being illegal if they enter a country illegal, overstay a visa illegally, or otherwise commit a crime by remaining where they have no legal right to be. I'm not going to back down just because some whining baby from the left tries the trite "no human being is illegal". That overused lie is false, and it does not scare me.
They are not called Americans, any more than I’m call a Canadian, when I visit Canada.
In the writers mind, when I legally entered a foreign country I am called by that countries citizenship name, British, Spanish, Peruvian, New Zealander, Australian, Mexican?
No! If I am there legally on a Visa I am called a visitor, not a residents. If I am there illegally, I am called an alien.
A foreign citizen seeking to immigrate generally must be sponsored by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident immediate relative(s), or prospective U.S. employer, and have an approved petition before applying for an immigrant visa. These are legal immigrants. No other Visa carries the word immigrant. Those are visitors.
Those who cross our borders, in the process breaking our laws, are illegal. They are not immigrants with a immigrant visa.
They are “criminal aliens”. The word criminal is a description of their committing a crime by entering illegally. The word alien means “Noncitizen”. The following definition is from the Division of Homeland Security’a webpage.
“Alien (Noncitizen)
An alien is any person who is not a citizen or national of the United States.”
Legal aliens are just called “aliens.” It’s in our immigration code. It’s a legal term.
