Is stating that someone who has illegally entered the United States an
"illegal alien", racist? Being an illegal alien, does not make them less
human, it simply states the fact that they are illegally in this country, An illegal not of this country for a better definition, it is a matter of law, not opinion. Here is the U.S. Law:
Federal law provides that any alien who 1) enters or attempts to enter the U.S. at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers, 2) eludes examination by immigration officers, or 3) attempts to enter or obtains entry to the U.S. by a willfully false or misleading representation is guilty of improper entry by an alien. For the first commission of the offense, the person is fined, imprisoned up to six months, or both, and for a subsequent offense, is fined, imprisoned up to 2 years, or both (8 U.S.C. § 1325).

and other nations have much stronger Laws against those who would ILLEGALLY enter their nations too ..
Now this is my own personal belief and many probably won't agree. But hey, that's America. We get to have personal opinions here.
I don't think that "illegal alien" and "undocumented person" are necessarily always the same thing. Or should'nt be. An "illegal alien" is someone who comes into this country without any legal device that authorizes or allows them to do so. An undocumented person may not have necessarily entered this country illegaly, but later failed to maintain the authorizing documentation that initially allowed them entrance. Likewise, someone born in this country to undocumented or alien parents would in many cases likely also be undocumented but not necessarily an alien. Of course I'm of the opinion that if you are born here, raised here, educated here and functioned here as a productive and contributing member of our society. Then I have no problem with that person being recognized as a citizen. Not to say that I think that the parents should automaticly be extended the same liberty, by virtue of having successfully had and raised a child here. I don't. Dependi...

Depending on length of their residence and level of social contribution, perhaps they should be allowed the opportunity to apply and go through the process of becoming a citizen without facing the threat of deportation first. Contrary to popular belief, it's not all that easy to become a citizen. Many who try don't succeed.
Actually many American's don't know or have forgotten that it's actually the law that everyone must maintain and be able to provide proof of identification and citizenship. As there are many Americans who, for whatever reason can't produce that proof, be it due to having lost access to it due to any number of extenuating circumstances. There are many who rightly consider themselves to be full-fledged Americans that, at least in the short term, find themselves on the list as an "undocumented person". People should be careful who they point fingers at. They could possibly wake up one day to find one pointed at them.
So it will now be "unlegal" to rob a bank. "unllegal to do 70 mhp through a school zone, etc etc....
Now are all of you bleeding hearts on the left satisfied?
If the word 'racist' was not allowed to be used on SH the liberals would leave.
Alien = Someone who's country of origin is not the U.S.
Nope no racism there, just stating the facts. Someone that came to this country through illegal means, thus breaking our laws. Not racism, not hate, just facts. If you don't want to be an Illegal Alien, follow our laws and apply for immigrant status though legal means! We welcome you, but do it legally.
In the 70's we used to call them 'wet backs'....then 'illegal aliens'....then 'undocumented workers', now, undocumented democrats....do I really need to say anymore>
They ARE ALIEN to this country thus the second part..
So NO it is not racist to call a criminal trespasser from another country an illegal alien..Only a race baiting leftist would think so..
While I'm at it, I'll throw in few more ... War on Terror ... Muslim terrorists ... if the shoe fits, doncha know? Those who are guilty should be wearing them.

I wouldn't know their number and i'm sure not going to just holler out "Hey illegal alien!!".
I am hispanic, do I have to feel offended because they called me legal alien?.., of course not. That's liberal BS as always.
