| Quit saying 'illegal aliens.' |
| 2008-11-09 |
| Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor stirred up a hornet's nest by endorsing a demand from the Hispanic Bar Association to censor words and phrases such as "illegal aliens" and "illegal immigrants" and substitute "foreign nationals" in court documents. |

| #13 Illegal alien is accurate. Illegal Immigrant is patently false - the illegal alien has *not* been granted immigrant status. Calling them 'foreign national' is inaccurate also - it does not convey their illegal status - which, of course, is the entire point of the demand from the Hispanic Bar Association. BTW: Isn't the term 'Hispanic Bar Association' Racist? |

| #10 How about substituting "members of the invasion forces?" That would considerably more accurate. Silentbrick, you've got an excellent idea. Pity that under Bama it hasn't a hope. |

| #7 At this point, I think the term illegal combatant is much better fitting, given how many deaths they cause. The solution is simple. First offense - Deportation w/ full biometric details taken Second offense - Welcome to the Organ Bank. |

| #6 Lets see... Illegal? Yes they are breaking the law, and openly flouting it in many cases. Alien? Yes - they are not of our citizenry, nor of our common societal basis. Sorry Judge, you cannot change reality by refusing to recognize it. ILLEGAL ALIEN. PERIOD. Let see her try to enforce this rule. |

| #4 OK, how 'bout "people who must go back from whence they came so we don't have any more illegal aliens"? |
