Illegal Alien/Undocumented Random Act of Violence

[JohnR! 5,495]

I was going to suggest that s/he destroys his/her greencard. That will get one quickly on the privileged list of illegal immigrants.

Then renounce your citizenship. So you can be treated like one.

So, what is it that you really want to say?

I think what I am trying to say is that sometimes we can be too PC for our own good.

What's the logic in that? How can one be too PC? Tell me, how could you phrase things differently?

[Boiler 43,359]

PC = Undocumented

Over the top PC = Prospective Citizen

[We Keep Receipts 9,238]

PC = Undocumented

Over the top PC = Prospective Citizen

So what's next? Instead of names, we just call them Illegal Aliens? Why is there such a desire to dehumanize them?

I would love to see a nationwide shift from 'immigrant' or 'migrant' to 'illegal alien'.

screw the Politically Correct-ness of 'immigrant' - don't 'they' understand they are lumping illegals in with actual green card holders? Blasphemy !

There are Legal Aliens, so the opposite would be....

Playing word games with misleading terms just makes you look silly.

Alas, 'Illegal Alien' is the proper label. Huge movement from Hispanic/Latino action groups to have the use not used in the news anymore, took about 14 years on a constant campaign. IMO, it sucks.

Does it suck Donkey Balls? Yes, it does.

Ya, Trump learned that one the hard way.

I agree with Darnell, call them what they are "illegal aliens". I really don't see anything inhuman about that, it is what it is compared to those that follow the rules.

How is it the proper label? You're calling someone an alien. Not of this world, that's not what they are.

So, your ancestors would be called illegal aliens? Because they didn't come here legally. But no one does that. We don't call the founding fathers illegal aliens. Why not?

My point is, there seems to be this call to dehumanize people we don't think belong.

sorry you feel that way, Marvin.

Mostly, USA Economy is a closed system. Illegal Aliens inside our borders erode our economy. That's it, full stop.

Alien means not of this country in this context.

not sure of the context yer referring to,

but I am using the label back in post #1. Apologies if I seem dense, but, labels and words matter.
