Nancy Pelosi chides John Boehner over term ‘alien’ in immigration debate
Washington Times ^ | 6/20/14 | Stephen Dinan

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s office Friday chided House Speaker John A. Boehner for calling illegal immigrant children “aliens” in a Twitter message.

“Mr. Speaker, these comments and labels are inexcusable and reprehensible — no one should be politicizing the ordeal of these children in such a manner,” Mrs. Pelosi’s office said.

**SNIP**

Indeed, the Obama administration’s Homeland Security Department officially refers to the kids surging across the border as “Unaccompanied Alien Children.”

If you don’t believe in the idea of nation states then Pelosi is following her beliefs.

Clearly Pelosi would be displeased with the term I use for her...

when liberals try these crowd manipulation tricks the Republicans and conservatives should respond with another tactic that liberals themselves use — the double down. Start using the term twice as often and emphasis the so-called controversial word or phrase.

One simple example of this I can recall was when liberals would use the term “cuts” when the budget was actually growing. Pubs called them on it and dems would then start to slowly emphasis the word “cuts” and use it even more often. These are mild tactics yet the pubs do not regularly use these simple yet fairly effective techniques.

Mrs. Pelosi is absolutely right. Henceforth the term alien shall be replaced with “lizard people”.

We should call them what they are: Invaders.

The hotel she owns at her vineyard should be able to accommodate some of these children.

Until she puts them up there this Marxist pile of dog squeeze can STFU.

Nanny Pelosi would be highly offended by the terms that properly apply to her.

It’s the technical legal term, Nancy. Section 101(a)(3) of the Immigration and Naturalization Act. Since it’s already been passed, you should already know it’s in there.

Archbishop Sam really ought to consult his canonists and see if they can exclude her from Communion because she’s not mentally old enough.

On the local FOX news last night they were referring to them as undocumented residents and spent all of two minutes talking about the invasion of our state of Texas. Maybe all of these “undocumented residents” should all be dropped off at the homes of all our local news broadcasters.

I agree with Nancy. Let's call them 'invaders'.

'Foreign invaders' has a nice ring to it. Or maybe Nancy would prefer 'imported Democrat voters' since that's what this is all about anyway!

Boneless and friends need to articulate the distinct nature of being a US Citizen vs. a citizen of the world. If he and they do not know and do not care about this distinction, then they ought to be summarily fired.

He’s more like a vegetable soup with a soup bonehead in it.

“Alien - Any person not a citizen or national of the United States.”

We need to tell liberals where to go when they pretend there is something wrong with using words correctly. We cannot continue backing down on vocabulary, or the thugs will continue winning.
