House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosis 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. Pelosis office said.
**SNIP**
Indeed, the Obama administrations Homeland Security Department officially refers to the kids surging across the border as Unaccompanied Alien Children.

You give Boehner WAY too much credit.
To: Libloather
Nancy is such a ditz. What else are you supposed to call an illegal alien? Also, “What difference does it make?” The term illegal alien works every time and everybody knows what you’re talking about when you say it.

She’s just a little anxious. Because her home planet isn’t earth, calling someone an alien is personal for her.

Pelosi is an “alien” from East Baltimore. Lived on Albermarle near Lombard.
She was one of the street rats that hunted food behind Maria’s restaurant. So was her brother the anti-semitic, pro-black rioter mayor, Tommy D’Alessandro III (look up the 1968 April riots and you’ll know what I’m talking about).
Check her DNA. “It is not of this earth”.

Nancy is such a ditz. What else are you supposed to call an illegal alien? That would be: "Unregistered Democrat".

That would be: "Unregistered Democrat".They are coached to register to vote before they have any immigration satus, so the correct terminology would be:
"Undocumented Democrat".

Actually, you’re definitions have to legal bearing. This is the one you want:
U.S. Code Title 8 Chapter 12 Subchapter I § 1101
8 U.S. Code § 1101 - Definitions
(a) As used in this chapter
(3) The term alien means any person not a citizen or national of the United States.
To: Svartalfiar
I was hoping she’d figure out it was a synonym for foreigner. I was probably aiming too high.

(3) The term alien means any person not a citizen or national of the United States.My guess - she's a closet Redskins fan. She really should come out.

Possibly “refugees from failed South American communist/socialist countries” would be more appropriate.
