Bill would mandate nicer term for illegals

TALLAHASSEE -- A state legislator whose district is home to thousands of Caribbean immigrants wants to ban the term "illegal alien" from the state's official documents.

"I personally find the word 'alien' offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children," said Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami. "An alien to me is someone from out of space."

She has introduced a bill providing that: "A state agency or official may not use the term 'illegal alien' in an official document of the state." There would be no penalty for using the words.

In Miami-Dade County, Wilson said, "we don't say 'alien,' we say 'immigrant.'"

She said she encountered the situation when trying to pass a bill allowing children of foreigners to get in-state tuition at colleges and universities. Wilson, who directs a dropout prevention and education program in Miami, said she politely asks witnesses at public hearings on such issues not to use the term.

"There are students in our schools whose parents are trying to become citizens and we shouldn't label them," she said. "They are immigrants, through no fault of their own, not aliens."

Wilson said the first word isn't as bad as the second.

"'Illegal,' I can live with, but I like 'undocumented' better," she said.

Asked if her bill (SB 2154) might run afoul of Gov. Charlie Crist's "plain speaking" mandate for government agencies, Wilson said, "I think getting rid of 'alien' would be plain speaking."

You know what, this person is right. While we are at it, we should ban the words terrorist, criminal, felon, murderer, rapist and every other word that might offend somebody because we all know that offending someone is far, far, far, far, far worst then breaking the law.

"I personally find the word 'alien' offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children," said Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami. "An alien to me is someone from out of space."

If you cannot think of the word alien in a broader view than someone from out of space, you are a frigging idiot and should be in another line of work, like sweeping streets!! so get on and get out of our lives!

So I wonder when the new Webster's Politically Correct dictionary will be released? We have to make sure we have all the new correct PC definitions in there.

Here's some examples which should be in the dictionary:

Actual Term--Hillary- noun (h-ill-ar-ee) An over ambitious, greedy, power hungry two faced loser. Set on being queen of the world.

PC Term--(h-ill-ar-ee) an extra special person with extra sensitivity and sympathy towards undocumented workers. A person exhibiting honesty, sincerity, truthfullness, and a love for all mankind. A person above any man made laws.

Sorry Oliver, the word alien won't get it, this is the problem were having, the traitors do not like alien, you know outer space and all that!!

Thanks SoSad! I was getting nautious and I couldn't do anymore...
What a waste of taxpayers money this stupid bill is.

Leave it to a Florida politician to be to jump on the band wagon to waste time and tax dollars on BS legislation. Maybe she could write some meaningful legislation that would help fix the problem, like enforcement. No matter what you call them doesn’t change their status. I find political correctness and ineffective politicians’ offensive. I find our governments pandering to illegals offensive. Maybe Mr. or Mrs. Illegal alien would be ok.

Why does it not surprise me this was introduced by a democrat
