Political correctness is dictating how we discuss issues, and what words we are allowed to use. First of all, when did we let 14 year olds decide policy for the city?
Second what authority does the mayor have to ban any words?

And how do we describe anyone who commits any crime? How do we describe prisoners who were convicted of crimes, who did something illegal? What is the politically correct term for prisoners or criminals of any type????If she's ever the victim of a sexual assault, I vote we use the term "non-reciprocated sexual advance." Wouldn't want to hurt the assailant's feelings. He's a person, too, you know.

I am about to make a terrible statement:
“Chairs should be Illegal in Chicago”.
There, I’m racist AND I’m banned.

If truth is hurtful, it must be abandoned in favor of a "higher truth." ("Higher truth" = untruth) This is the perverse logic of the Left.
Truth for its own sake is not even a consideration for these klunks.

Somerville is an ultra-liberal sh!thole, a pseudo-upscale white-flight area in the process of being overrun by
illegals and other undesirables whether the blithering idiot mayor likes it or not -- which he does: they vote for him.
Somerville voted 81% for President Bonzo in 2008; the town is too far gone for any decent person to bother worrying about, though we should pity the 19% who are stuck there but still courageously voted for McCain/Palin.

Im going to start calling them criminal aliens. I've been using the term "Crimaliens" for years. Seems to fit and it saves 2 syllables.

Since the mayor likes illegal aliens so much, why not deport captured illegal aliens to the town of somerville? I’m sure sheriff Joe in Arizona has plenty of them and would be willing to give them a one way bus ticket to somerville.

Control of the language is one of the strongest weapons of the Left.
It doesn’t matter what we think or feel if we cannot express it.

Screw these people. You could call them ‘XYZ immigrants.’ But after everyone understood it meant ‘illegal immigrants,’ they’d be screaming it was racist and that we would have to drop the word ‘XYZ’ and not use it anymore if we didn’t want to be called racists. Screw them, screw them, screw them. When are we going to stand up to the silly bastards on the left?
To: Sub-Driver
Return to the old word. Wetbacks.
To: Sub-Driver
They can go to hell all of them. Trying to ban a word is just ignorant.
If these illegals don’t want to be called illegals then they shouldn’t be illegals.
Go back to whence they came and they will no longer be illegals.

Just call them aliens. I have been suggesting that states that give drivers licenses to illegals, stamp the licence, ALIEN, and tie it to a set of finger prints in lieu of a birth certificate. Tie the license expiration to a prepaid insurance policy. The license expires when the policy expires and must be renewed with the license.

none of these illegal aliens are immigrants. you need a green card to be an immigrant. at best they are visitors ~ but they’ve forgotten to get their visas and must go home now.
