Those who support the illegals in our country, including the Association of Hispanic Journalists, has asked media to stop referring to illegals as illegals because it criminalizes the illegals and dehumanizes the illegals.
Am I considered a member of the media by these illegals supporters like the NAHJ? Because if so the illegals are going to be disappointed in me pointing out that they are illegals. This is just another way the illegals are trying to quell our free speech and point out that they are illegals
Oh and one more thing... illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals illegals!!!
From a NAHJ press release.
As protesters march in the streets and debate intensifies in Congress over how to fix the nation’s immigration laws, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists calls on our nation’s news media to use accurate terminology in its coverage of immigration and to stop dehumanizing undocumented immigrants [illegals].
NAHJ is concerned with the increasing use of pejorative terms to describe the estimated 11 million [Illegals] undocumented people living in the United States. NAHJ is particularly troubled with the growing trend of the news media to use the word “illegals” as a noun, shorthand for "illegal aliens". Using the word in this way is grammatically incorrect and crosses the line by criminalizing the [illegal] person, not the action they are purported to have committed. NAHJ calls on the media to never use “illegals” in headlines.
Shortening the term in this way also stereotypes undocumented people [illegals] who are in the United States as having committed a crime.
Nice low estimate of only 11 million illegals

Tipped by: You Don't Speak For Me (who obviously the NAHJ doesn't speak for and who aren't illegals)

I've also heard they would like the word WETBACK to never be uttered because it is so offensive. Well here's something to all you ILLEGAL WETBACKS - these are just WORDS and when I was growing up I was taught "Sticks and stones will break my bones but NAMES WILL NEVER HURT ME"
Apparently they are not teaching this to kids anymore because so many decide particular words are offensive to them and now nobody can say them like GAY and now ILLEGAL and WETBACK. You CANNOT LEGISLATE away racism and hatred. Sorry nice try. Trying to remove these words from our vocabulary is IDIOTIC! We will just come up with some NEW words to take their place like instead of WETBACK we might say CHICKENHEAD - are you gonna strike that out of our vocabulary too? The thought and speech police are gonna have their hands full I can tell you that. But perhaps that is the idea. It is job security for SOMEBODY to attack words that some group finds offensive. I agree with Joey Vento when he says GET OVER IT ALREADY.. ILLEGAL WETBACK!

"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
Proper terminology is illegal alien invader. That is the term we must become accustomed to. They can call it anything they want but it is still an invasion and violation of American territory. It is an undeclared war with a fifth column of corrupt elected officials betraying our country. A turd is still a turd.
Political Correctness remains just what it was intended to be: a sophisticated and dangerous form of censorship and oppression, imposed upon the citizenry with the ultimate goal of manipulating, brainwashing and destroying our society.

Once Aztlan is established, ethnic cleansing would commence: Non-Chicanos would have to be expelled -- opposition groups would be quashed because you have to keep power
• Jose Angel Gutierrez, President of La Raza “We have an aging white America. They are dying. We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him.”
Patrick Henry power of one “There is no longer any room for hope. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun!
Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
