"Illegal Immigrant" = Racism??

We read:

"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

I guess we could do as the Democrats do and talk about "undocumented workers". But are we not allowed to say WHY they are undocumented?

Update:

A reader writes:

"When I worked with the US Forest Service in San Diego County we were told that over the radio we were to refer to illegals as "Undocumented Travelers"! This is ridiculous!"




A Good Summary from Lou Dobbs

We read:

"We all awoke to headlines in our nation's most important newspapers reminding us that this is "A Day Without Immigrants." Not illegal immigrants, mind you, but immigrants.

USA Today headlined today's demonstrations and boycott "On Immigration's Front Lines." The New York Times headlines its story "With Calls for Boycott by Immigrants, Employers Gird for Unknown." The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times are both calling its coverage "The Immigration Debate.""

No doubt about it! That word "illegal" is now an illegal word. Dobbs also points out the far-Left organizers behind of most of the demonstrations -- again something rarely mentioned.




California prepares for boycott that could be historic or routine

Like Taranto, I do have a laugh at times about some of the daring headlines that newspapers put up. The one above is from The Sacramento Bee. I read the "Bee" every morning to make sure I am up to date with the latest wackiness. This morning's "Bee" also informs me that the latest brainwave of the California legislators is to make hospitals responsible for providing homes for the homeless! If you are homeless, just get yourself admitted to a hospital and you will be right from then on! I kid you not.




Batty Britain

I have not seen any fresh attacks on free speech in Britain for a few days but there sure have been some other crazy goings-on. I have started to put up extra posts on Political Correctness Watch in the last few days just to cope with it all.
