Well!!!! Isn't that special." I think that was the "church lady" on Saturday Night Live" years ago. "people are not illegal, actions are." This has gotten to a point of being completely ridiculous. It seems to me that if you are here illegally you are an "illegal PEOPLE (person)". If you do an illegal act you are an "illegal person." Screw the ILLEGALS, the SPLC, and the ACLU.
The Associated Press has banned the term illegal immigrant from its stylebook.
The ruling came Tuesday and has fueled debate on both sides of the issue.
Hispanic groups and immigration activists long have decried use of the term, saying that people are not illegal, actions are.
Thats the view taken by the new entry, emailed to subscribers of the Associated Press Stylebook. The new entry, illegal immigration replaces the old entry illegal immigrant.

When something counter acts their agenda, they just change it. Global warming became climate change. Now they can blame everything on humans.

If they did something illegal they are criminals.

Then they should be in jail. But our jails are overcrowded and we can't afford to take care of any more prisoners. So we have a choice. Don't enforce the laws or deport the ones arrested. That does a lot of good because in a few days they're right back over here. Unless we use a cruise ship (Carnival could use the business) and send them to an exotic location such as Antarctica. But as a environmentalist I can't condone spoiling the continent. Maybe just get within swimming distance. About a mile off shore should work. :thumbup:

Or fly them back and let them jump at 30,000 feet.
I knew some illegals in tucson. Some were very hard working. One of my friends that was here was deported and was back in 1 month. He had a ice cream route and worked very hard. He was killed by 2 drug addicts who wanted his money. He was a good man. We need more like that.

I ran two landscaping crews with two different businesses. All the workers were illegal. They were the hardest working people I've ever been around. :thumbup:

LOL Jay Leno reported that the AP will from this moment forward be using the term "Undocumented Democratic Voters"
Maybe that is why NBC gave him the boot.
