Hispanic Attorney Says Using Term Illegal Alien Racial Slur
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines "illegal" as: "not according to or authorized by law". It goes on to define "alien" as: "relating, belonging, or owing allegiance to another country or government".
Exactly how is it racist to use the correct terminology to describe someone's immigration status. It's amazing how far a liberal is willing to distort things in order to play the race card.
Appearing on KLIF Radio's Gregg Knapp show, attorney Domingo Garcia said that using the terms illegal alien or illegal immigrant is a "racial slur". Garcia said that those who use it, in reference to Hispanics, are racist.
Knapp advised Garcia that using the term "illegal aliens" or "illegal immigrants" is an accurate term applied to [their] legal vs. illegal status in the country and a true depiction of the fact that they are illegal. Garcia said: "Using words like illegal alien is like calling people derogatory names...like calling people nigger!"

How convenient! The term "illegal alien" has never been a racial slur until we started talking about sending them back where they came from. I think that term could only be called a racial slur if it were referring to one race; however, it refers to ALL RACES of people who come and deliberately ignore the citizenship laws of our land. The truth is, regardless of what you call them, the fact still remains that they are here ILLEGALLY and need to go back to their country of origin.
It's the liberal race card, that's all. Anything to detract from the real issue and get the government to create a new class of victims.
