Garrett: “I am so down with that. In fact, I’ve been trying to get some friends of mine in Van Nuys to put together a grassroots campaign calling for a ban on the totally un-nice term ‘felony drug offender.’ I’m thinking something like, ‘dudes who are so into living life that they’re willing to defy the Fascist State’—though I’m not married to it.
“Plus, I’m having a hard time getting my friends to come down long enough to stop playing Tetris and eating all my Snowballs. So it’s, like, definitely a work in progress.”*

I understand they are trying to ban the N-word in New York too (Black leaders on this.)
Schopenhauer noted a long time ago that getting rid of a derogatory name is pointless because you don’t get rid of the thing or concept that earned the derogation in the first place.
They’ll just come up with some other name for illegal aliens.

Or “undocumented immigrants” will become a “code word” for alien.
I say we start calling undocumented workers ETs, just to drive this would-be Florida lexicographer BATTY.

I like “lawbreaker”. It’s more to the point.

Ms. Wilson’s vocabulary limitations are not our problem.

I can just see the poor illegal children being brutalized in school by the children of citizens, whose racist parents will almost assuredly arm them with Tasers.

Taser Tots , sounds like a cartoon …. or something to throw in the oven ….

Why don’t we just call them what they really are:
“Soon-to-be Democrat Voters”?

Boys, forget about new diseases, culture shock, superweapons and all that.
When we’ll make contact with an alien race the main concern will be how not to offend them and how to accomodate their sensitivities.
The “Alien” franchise movies will be the first to go down. So long, Ripley.

Is this the Frederica Wilson we are talking about?
Okay.
Do I have this right. The problem is not with the word “illegal” the problem is the word “alien”, which reminds Ms Wilson of someone from “out of space.”
Right.

Just saw that pic, Steve. Did Huggy Bear have a little sister that nobody knew about? Or, maybe she considers herself the darker version of Bella Abzug.

Bill would mandate nicer term for illegals
Who is this “Bill” and why is he trying to restrict my 1st Amendment rights?

Right. They were minding their own business back home in Mexico when all of a sudden this UFO swooped down, beamed them up, and then set them down in the U.S.
Got it.

We used to just call ‘em Messkins.
And I believe they cause global warming. Didn’t used to be this hot, and there didn’t used to be this many Messkins. Coincidence? I think not.
They got all that hot chili and shit too.
Comment by Robb Allen on 2/28 @ 11:50 pm #
Bwah hah hah!
I knew you’d do better with that than I could. Of course, my rebuttal would have including quite possibly every foul word known in the English language mixed in with several Spanish ones and a few I would have made up on the spot.
Maybe I should cut down on the coffee.

How about “Members of an invasion force”?

While she’s at it, she should try to force the governor to change his last name. There are people that might, through no fault of their own, think he’s the messiah.

Speaking of immigration, anyone notice that an undocumented armadillo appeared here:
