I just want to attack your beloved "illegal alien" label.
Alien...really? Through some twisted thought process, you demand to call fellow humans "aliens"?
That pretty much corners you in the stupid asshole room. I don't really know what an actual alien looks like, but I'm pretty sure my neighbors Sandra and Pedro are the same species as me, and I do not feel compelled to misappropriate words so that I feel better than them. The fact that you use "immigrant" when they are legally here is very telling. What a sweet change of heart!
I understand that it's a legal term, but that doesn't mean much as those terms change, fortunately. The term is a device used to "other" and dehumanize a population....oh jeez, I dunno, you think maybe it encourages alienation?
So keep your "illegal", but do yourself a favor and stop pretending there are aliens living among us, making delicious tamales and mole while they scheme to conquer our planet!
There has always been resentment by natives against newcomers, coming into our turf, using our resources and affecting the way we do things. So what? Still bitching about it? How about you step over the part-of-the-problem line and offer some solutions? Or is all you got "get off my lawn, get out of my school/town/state/country" and don't really give a fuck about anything else?
