'Illegal': Slur or accurate label?

Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | 1/28/04 | Rick Badie

[Travis McGee]

Illegal alien is too mamby pamby. It should be

CRIMINAL INVADER!

[Benjo]

What about the ones who don't work? For example, criminals?

Undocumented felons?

[Right Wing Professor]

What's the next term, non-notaried or something?

Pre-amnestied.

Although I do like 'documentation challenged'

[swampfox98]

Call them what Bush called them "Citizens of the World."
Except its not the world they are stealing from it is the American tax payers.

[dangus]

I FIND "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT" TO BE AN OUTRAGEOUS, OFFENSIVE SLUR!
They're not "immigrants," they are aliens. Immigrants intend to become a part of the society they are joining. Aliens are intruders and exploiters. On behalf of many immigrant friends of mine, I am deeply offended by this slandering of immigrants.

[Reactionary]

Liberals want to erase words that have anything to do with the idea of inequality. They appear to believe that by altering the structure of language they will then be able to restructure the categories of thought.

At bottom, they're Orwellian and Stalinist.
