The style of this article may irritate, but it doesn't bore.

I think we should “OUT” every congressman/woman AND senator and those in the administration who are willing to provide AMNESTY and/or a PATHWAY for these trespassers TO CITIZENSHIP and those trying to get a VA disability, or toss out an anchor baby. Americans should go on the attack against all of progressives (both sides of the aisle; Rubio and Graham included) who are trying to change the demographics of the country for political gain… They don’t give a damn about the middle class. They are a disgrace to this nation.

All true but I think even the term “illegal” does us a disservice. It sounds like they are mere American lawbreakers with no where else to go.

They are all citizens of another country and have every right and obligation to return there.

Maybe SCOTUS should just drop ssm and redine illegal. That would take of it all. Of course that would mean we go back to Frontier Days. I’ll bet Judge Roy Bean could straighten this out!

We can’t call them wetbacks any longer. They have been here so long their backs have dried off.Most of them have even forgotten how to swim.

Why do we even bother to have a border. They can walk over any time they like.

Language change. It’s been going on from the time gay was not being used or/and not to be used for an expression available to all persons to describe persons merriment, happiness, etc. I had personal experience with people in government e.g. EPA using power/authority to define traditional/conventional terms in their new vocabulary for political purposes of control. This is the new thought control procedure for authority. All sounds like something you would expect from an Alinsky book or any of such books adherents.

The key thought in the 14th Amendment which along with several other provisions established in the Constitution shows that the intent of the Framers was that only citizens of the United States whether born or naturalized are granted the rights and privileges that are available in America.

While Congress has the Constitutional authority to establish laws of naturalization or immigration they do not have a true Constitutional authority to create blanket legislation that allows non – citizens the rights of born or naturalized Americans. In other words amnesty is technically unconstitutional because it bypasses the laws which are established for immigrants to become American citizens.

FACT...if you are not an American Citizen and are here illegally...you are a felon...i.e., "without government permission and in violation of United States nationality law, or staying beyond the termination date of a visa, also in violation of the law." Enforce existing laws...insist your state enforce all laws especially those covering persons here illegally...

The style isn’t the problem, it is the substance.

AP is NOT going to use the term “undocumented worker”. That wasn’t the point of their style change.

AP decided that they shouldn’t use the term “illegal” as a modifier for a person. AS they explain, they prefer to label behavior rather than people. As an example, they don’t use the term “schizophrenic”, instead they say “person diagnosed with schizophrenia”.

I’m not saying this makes sense; you can see that by this rule they wouldn’t say someone was a “diabetic” either.

But it isn’t about changing to “undocumented worker” (they would say “person lacking proper documentation to work”).

In fact, in the explanation, they say they will use the phrase “person who entered the country illegally”, or “person who is in the country illegally”.

As they say in the stylebook explanation: “ ‘illegal’ should describe only an action, such as living in or immigrating to a country illegally.”

So we could still see articles about people illegally in the country.

Personally, I think they miss the mark, because “immigrant” is itself a description of a person, NOT the person. So an “illegal immigrant” is not an illegal person, but a person who immigrated illegally”, which is what they claim they will use. IN fact, I think calling someone an “immigrant” would violate their new style guide, they would have to say “person who immigrated into the country”.

Go ahead. Unfortunately they are no longer afraid of being “outed” fro their treasonous behavior.

Criminalians! (or, alternatively, crimigrants)

I was stopped just this morning by the police for making an illegal U-Turn. Cop didn't take kindly to my asking what was wrong with an "Undocumented Turn"...

Who cares what you call these interlopers/invaders? Merely, seize all their property, incarcerate them then deport them and their families back to their loser-country.

Illegal aliens are criminal aliens who shouldn’t be here, but that doesn’t necessarily make them bad people, not if they go home now.

Several years ago a local talk show host came up with “Crimmigrants” (Criminal Immigrants).

We are told the government can’t deport 11 million SQUATTERS. So exactly how do they propose to find millions of privately-owned guns?
