They break our laws, abuse our social services system, violate our sovereignty, and many commit Social Security fraud. There have been countless times that violent crimes have been committed by them, including potentially the execution-style murder of 3 soon-to-be college kids in Newark.

But how dare you call them what they are: “illegal aliens”:

But don’t call them “illegal aliens” because that’s the moral equivalent of a racial slur, according to the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials (search).

“We do find that term very offensive and liken it to the ‘n’ word as well,” GALEO Executive Director Kerry Gonzalez said, referring to the derogatory term used to describe black people.

Gonzalez is urging Georgia lawmakers to use the term “undocumented workers” when referring to foreigners who enter the United States.

Ok. So calling someone who is an alien here illegally, an “illegal alien”, is now the equivalent of using a derogatory, disgusting word to refer to African Americans here legally, paying taxes. Got it. PoliticallyCorrectapalooza!
