maybe if Corp America would stop funding them . They maybe then couldn't afford such spinning attorneys to write that crap !
I have watched those kind loving illegals cuss us like dogs during peaceful marches .
You are Illegals . Go back to Mexico . You have no rights here !

there are no failed immigration policies ,only failure to enforce them.We could add to them like require all businesses to use E-verify -Remember when they say failed immigration policy they mean policies like raiding work places,deporting people and not allowing drivers licenses.Do not be fooled for a minute into thinking they want any border enforcement-THIS IS ALSO AMNESTY FOR EMPLOYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, the new fangled parsing or interpreting of immigration terminology yields additional 'hate speech' by such notable music performers as Sting, and Phil Collins:

No no PhredE...they only have a problem if we call them ILLEGAL aliens. Calling them LEGAL aliens is ok.

Ok, my head is spinning. I stand corrected (thanks )

[quote]Addressing the National Press Club last month, NCLR President Janet Murguia pointed out a need to control free speech when it becomes hate speech. “Everyone knows there is a line sometimes that can be crossed when it comes to free speech. And when free speech transforms into hate speech, we’ve got to draw that line. And that’s what we’re doing here today. And we need to make sure that network executives will hold their people accountable and not cross that line.â€

Can La Raza (or anyone else) explain to me how using hateful rhetoric is, in any way, useful in extinguishing other "perceived" hateful rhetoric?

Illegal alien is hateful to THEM, but not to a majority of Americans. How about Mexico's perception of blacks on their postage stamps? Does La Raza care to comment on how blatantly racist that is?

And why should we use "undocumented immigrant"? Are ANY of them really without documents? Sure, they're all forged, stolen, or otherwise fraudulent, but they do have them.

Their argument is simply one of heightened hypocritical folly. They're basically saying, "How dare you call anyone illegal you racist, xenophobic hate monger!"

If they're looking to extinguish hate, it goes both ways. Whatever happened to leading by example? With their examples of acceptable rhetoric towards us aren't they only justifying our use of "illegal alien"?
