	Should we call Webster and have him change it in the dictionary?	17 votes	13%
	I wouln't want to hurt "illegals" feelings	9 votes	7%
	Illegal is what they are! Heck No! I won't sigh the pledge	105 votes	80%

I will not call any human being "illegal."The racially charged slur and related terms confuse the immigration debate, fuel violence and don't reflect my values. I join communities nationwide in challenging all media to do the same.

Moveon.org has started a campaign "Drop the I word" How do you feel? Would you go online and take the pledge?

You have to go outside (so you have enough room) and lean as far LEFT as you can until you fall off the left side of the earth, and then you can see it. Don't lean RIGHT, it won't work then.

Illegal's are Illegal !!! They should not be here! If we just keep letting them flood over here year after year because politicians need their votes and support just so they can get re-elected to keep their job, our economy will never recover! My state is allready overun with them! They just continue to ignore it year after year because they love the votes!

"Illegal" in this instance is the word if needed to describe what kind of immigrant NOT to describe what kind of person.

Yes the person is an immigrant, but what KIND of immigrant NOT what kind of person.

So I can find nothing wrong with judging what KIND of immigrant, seeing we have immigration laws that may have been broken. I am not judging the person as a whole just the person's immigration status.

If you do not like the law, the good thing about this country (not like many others) is, we can change it.

We have good immigration laws. We just need to enforce them.
They protect us from terrorists and other dangerous people.
Yes, it is inconvenient to say the least to those who love this country and are only seeking a better life for themselves and loved ones but it is a price well worth it to come in the right way if you can. If you cannot come in the right way the way we have our laws then it is the responsibility of those who care in this country to change the law to make it better for our friends on the outside.

We don't need to change the laws. My husband and many of my co-workers and friends have come here the correct, LEGAL way and it can be done without changing anything.

But IF some do not like it then in this (the best country on Earth) country they can go about the right way to change it.

I guess this person feels that illegals bringing in drugs and disease and hiking our job losses because they work for the pennies on a dime thing is good for the American people. Do you people think this person who wrote this voted for Obumer and is voting for his uselessness again?

If they don't want to be called illegal, then a simple fix would be to stop illegally crossing our border. Therefore they would no longer be called illegal because they would not be illegal. This sounds like another idiotic fake political highlight from the left, It's not worth my time.

Horse Hockey! "illegal" is not a slur, let alone a racial slur. It is a state of being, in violation of the law!
