We know that they are really “Undocumented Democrats”.
The “SPJ” just proved the “value” of their education....worthless!
Illegal immigrant replaced the term illegal alien, which was seen as too inflammatory to use. So now the only people who talk about illegal aliens are strong conservatives.
So now we’re not even supposed to say that these people are immigrants? How did they get to America? How PC can we get in describing someone who is here but is not a citizen, and came here in violation of the law in the first place?
Or are we supposed to be good liberals and ignore illegal immigration??????
Wetback is more appropriate...
I guess old Dan is the posterkind for the Society of Professional Jourwhoralists!
I have always been fond of illegal alien myself.
I think that this society of journalists should be careful about going on a “crusade” for anything. Muslims are offended by the term “crusade” because of the historic Crusades.
Liberal journalists, pick another term please to describe your efforts.
Eff these state-propagandist bastards who refuse to call things as they really are.
I agree. Let's go with "Wetback."
"Illegal Alien" would work also.
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” —Isaiah 5:20
We are in Orwell’s 1984 in many ways, and this is one of them. Controlling the language and how people use language also changes the ideas and concepts that can be expressed. If we can’t call these people illegal at all, it changes the concept of their status, so that the presumption is that there is no legal violation involved. If they are just “undocumented”, that puts them in the same category of somebody who is undocumented because he/she lost their driver’s license.
American jurisprudence calls them exactly that - illegal.
What is offensive here is the SPJ to logic and reason.
Would “illegal parasite” be clearer?
I also like “undocumented democrat”.
How about “border crashers?”
“Invaders?”
“Uninvited parasites?”
While we're at it, let's replace "Professional Journalist," too. "Politically Correct Propagandist" would be more accurate.
Next the SPJ will call those people who, following a natural disaster, go from store to store, helping themselves to merchandise, “undocumented shoppers exercising a deferred purchase plan” instead of thieving looters.
They should go back home and get one eh!
I still like "illegal alien" ~ which was a step up from "greasers", "wetbacks", and "Mescan" ~ but these guys are definitely NOT IMMIGRANTS. To be an IMMIGRANT you have to have an IMMIGRATION VISA.
