Almost Half of Latino Voters Find 'Illegal Immigrant' Offensive, Says Poll
Fox News Latino ^ | March 8, 2012 | Carolyn Salazar

How people feel about illegal immigration is often conveyed by the word they choose to refer to people who cross the border illegally.

To some, they are undocumented workers. Others call them illegal immigrants. Some call them by more pejorative terms, such as "illegals" or "illegal aliens."

Almost Half of Incarcerated people Find ‘Prisoner & Felon’ Offensive, Says Poll.

They also want the right to vote and collect tax monies, too.

Go to L, you ninnies! Better yet, go home where you are legal and not an immigrant. You won’t need to hear the term then.

But you people aren’t about solutions, you are about forcing tax paying citizens to conform to your wants, needs and desires. NO!

It is what it is. A dog is a dog, a duck a duck.

That’s right, guys. DRIVE them Latinos into the arms of the Democrats because you refuse to understand their point of view. Then BITCH at them because they won’t vote conservative.

So, then, they will really find it offensive that Federal law calls such people “illegal aliens”.

I’m surprised that Obama hasn’t changed it to “people the border crossed.”

Fox is no different than NBC or CBS.

Not true at all. It is different.

Perhaps, not as different as we'd like, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. There is no reason not to exploit the Spanish-language population. In fact, it would be stupid to ignore them.
