UCLA’s undergraduate student government passed a resolution unanimously last week to criticize any use of the term “illegal immigrant” to describe illegal immigrants. Many students are upset with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, whom they feel is too harsh on illegal immigration. The resolution, entitled “Drop the I-Word,”
UCLA Student Government Passes Resolution Blasting 'Racially Derogatory' Term 'Illegal Immigrant'
So the future leaders in this country find legal definitions too much for their delicate sensibilities... The term "illegal immigrant" i.e someone who illegally immigrated to this country, has hereby been decreed -- by whom I can only imagine as the New Breed of the Unthinking Left -- to be racist.
This is what they're churning out in American universities nowadays? We're going down hard people, God help us...

This issue has been around a while. "Undocumented" seems to be the most PC phrase for better than a decade.

Do you not understand that this country is already going down eventually, and mostly for economic reasons, plus the trend we are seeing among the general population to be apathetic, easily entertained by cheap electronics, and shallow?
We've already survived longer than would ordinarily have been expected, and we're just living on borrowed time until we rot from the inside out.
Think I'm going to devote myself to being as anti-PC as possible for the rest of my days.
Someone has to be a buffer to insanity.
pouring syrup on shyte don't make it pancakes...
That is fine, but I think there is a bit of validity to the undocumented v. illegal part as opposed to the immigrant v. alien part of the discussion. Generally speaking, "Illegal" carries with it the popular connotation that it is "criminal". Unauthorized presence has traditionally been treated as a civil law violation as opposed to a criminal law violation. I use "illegal immigrant" but the point is not lost on me.
Now if you want to call people retarded or midgets, I am all there with you on that one.
Nonsense, we are going to borrow our way to prosperity. We have all the wealth that we need, it just needs to be redistributed "fairly". All will get free education, including free college, and then be qualified to simply watch others (the undocumented?) do the hard menial labor needed to support their lofty dreams. Anyone unable to find meaningful and satisfactory work (of their liking) will be kept "in waiting" (as long as their dream job is not available) at a middle class lifestyle supported by generous social "safety net" programs.
Quite frankly, I identify more strongly with the Mexican portion of our population (illegal or not), than with most of the rest of it. They (for the most part) are willing to work their asses off for what they get, and they strongly value family and community. They will still be standing and contributing when the rest of the country goes down, wallowing in self-absorption and what they believe to be "intellectualism", which doesn't accomplish anything besides a false sense of security. I am glad I am getting old, and hopefully will not be alive to see the long-term future of this nation. There are times when I am just downright embarrassed about what we have become.
I am not saying that I support illegal immigration, because I definitely do not, but hey, at least they are willing to do something besides sitting on their asses, playing with the latest version of the I Phone.
LOL! Just holler "La Migra' for effect. That will separate the wheat from the chafe.
Living in Texas, I realize the blurred definition.
But it makes them easier to swallow I bet.....the more syrup the better I would imagine.
Except I ordered the country fried steak and biscuits...

Initially and when in rural areas but you often find a different attitude developing once they are exposed to U.S. city life (liberalism?) for a while. They also have some of the better organized criminal/prison gangs. They are not all just peaceful, hard working, family folks, loving tacos, cerveza and tejano music.
Yeah but with your Yankee accent, everything you say sounds like BS so that is what you got. No charge for the syrup. Y'all come back and see us when you can. :2razz:
but I've lived in Virginia and Kentucky see, so I'm bilingual...

Yes, I'm sure you are right. I am speaking from my own experience, which has been positive.
I think they're right. Illegal immigrant is not a good term.
Illegal alien is much more accurate.
