Politician reprimanded for using the word “illegal migration” in the European Parliament
Voice of Europe ^ | 12/19/18

An EU Commission official was put in place when he spoke in Parliament’s LIBE committee last week.

He used the term “illegal migration” repeatedly regarding people who come to Europe without legal basis.

Claude Moraes, a British member and chairman of the group, gave him a reprimand.

“The correct terminology is irregular, not illegal. You are not illegal until you are convicted,” he said.

The Danish People’s Party member of the committee, Anders Vistisen, asked Claude Moraes to explain where it says that one must not say illegal.

“The word illegal immigrant is used in the Lisbon Treaty, so why can’t we say it in Parliament?”, Vistisen wanted to know.

Morales replied that it has been Parliament’s “position” for the last 10 years.

Anders Vistisen finds it appalling that the EU Parliament bans certain words:

“It clearly shows that the EU is unable to solve its migration problems. The first prerequisite for dealing with a problem is to talk about it. If we can’t even talk freely and call things by their proper name, we have an extremely long way to go.”

Anders Vistisen calls the debate in Parliament “out of touch with reality” and “severely contact phobic”: “It is a parallel universe where certain attitudes are frowned upon and words are banned because they don’t fit the agenda.” “And Danish politicians who are talking about EU solutions in the field of migration therefore feel that there is censorship of the debate and denial of the problems”, he says.

The Left thinks that they are containing violence against immigrants by constraining reporting and negative language against immigrants and Muslim individuals.

All they are doing is delaying the backlash and raising the eventual severity of the violence.

The only other possibility is that there will be a complete Muslim take over of the Western democracies.

I personally pray for the former.

I have no desire to be a martyr or a counter revolutionary.

Seems to me like someone in EU Parliament needs to learn there is a difference between “irregular” & “illegal”. There are some big differences, if they would care to accept that idea. The way it looks now, they would rather accept the idea of furthering their eventual defeat.
