Southern Discomfort
California activists are demanding that a mayor apologize for using the word “illegal” to describe people who come across the border in violation of the law, according to the Fresno Bee. They are demanding that he use the word “undocumented” in the future.
Fresno Mayor Alan Autry used the term in his state of the city speech, in which he called for a two-year moratorium on immigration because of the strain on city services, hospitals and schools.
Advocacy groups said use of the term 'illegal' fuels hatred.
**end**
I must be missing something.
If I were to go to, oh let's just say...Portugal for instance, and enter the country by any means other than the one I am supposed to use...how many rights would I have? What could I indignantly demand on the basis of my inherent goodness? How much should I expect the citizens of that fair land to contort to my will?
Hell, here in the land of the free and home of the brave, we give 'em food stamps and free medical care. While our own elderly have to "pre-qualify" for any assistance.
No wonder everybody wants to sneak in. I would too. Maybe that's the answer. We get all our own folk who are in need to renounce their American citizenship, move to Tijuana for six month, then sneak back in. They'll be better taken care of, have more rights, and enjoy a higher standard of living than they have now.
