On the famous “bright side,” no one at the Associated Press needs to wonder why fewer and fewer Americans waste time on “news” papers.

To the headline: they should drop illegal immigrant, as there is no such thing.
Immigrant is a legal status these people are just illegal.

That syle book went out the window SO (since Obama) No more 3 W’s (who what where) and H (how) in lead paragraph. Replaced by agenda assertion (propaganda). Marriage between man and woman next will be Opposite sex marriage.

Time to confront them in and out of their offices,at their watering holes, and at their homes.Just like they did with Palin and dozens of others. Protest the news organizations that use their services

Absolutely correct decision. The is no such thing as “illegal immigrant.” The correct terminology should be “illegal alien.” The word “immigrant” denotes a legal immigrant with a green card. Most of our forefathers were immigrants because they entered the county lawfully.

As we know, Mexico has a very intolerant stance towards immigrants to its own county, especially those who would try to live there without proper documentation.

Does anyone know the Spanish term that the Mexican government uses to describe these people?

I propose that we adopt that term to describe illegal immigrants in our own country. Just think of the fun that we will have watching the left try to condemn us for using the term that is used by the country from which so many illegals originate.

If anyone knows, please share it.

Thanks.

Call them what they are CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS!

Or just Criminal Aliens for short works just as well.

I join them in not using “illegal immigrant.” However, I probably diverge from AP in that I use the term “alien invaders.”

Foreign Criminal Invader would be more accurate


I’ve always preferred “Greasy Wetback”. But I’m in Arizona.
