MoveOn’s Quest to Outlaw the Term “Illegal Immigrant”

Just when you would think that the far Left Obama booster organization MoveOn.org could not get any more ridiculous, it sinks to ever lower levels of absurdity.  The latest example involves MoveOn’s push to render the phrase “illegal aliens” or “illegal immigrants” hate speech.

A video posted last week at MoveOn.org’s website charges that calling illegal immigrants “illegal” fits the definition of a hate crime and calls for the word “illegal” to be abolished when describing individuals entering the United States illegally.  They would prefer using adjectives such as “undocumented” immigrants or “unauthorized” immigrants.  That is sort of like calling a bank robber an unauthorized withdrawer. How about working to eliminate incentives for the illegal behavior itself rather than focus on banning its correct characterization?

“No human being is illegal,” intones MoveOn.org. True, but human beings can and do perform illegal acts.

Illegal refers to their status in the country, not whether the person is "legal". The name should be changed from Moveon to Moron.

Can we call them criminal interlopers? And start purging them through a citizen's round up campaign?
This could potentially put thousands of AMERICANS back to work here on the shore.
