Florida Politician Wants to Outlaw Expression: “Illegal Alien”
by Jeff Davis
The massive tide of Third World immigration surging over America has produced some absurd situations, such as local police being specifically ordered not to enforce immigration laws. Contrary to liberal propaganda, local police can arrest people for any federal crime. If a terrorist or kidnapper or drug smuggler is pulled over in a traffic stop, local police can and will arrest them. Only recently have flaming leftist mayors ordered their police departments NOT to enforce federal law when it applies to people being in the US illegally. If we had a sane federal government, any mayor who ordered his police not to enforce federal law, would be prosecuted as a criminal accomplice to the illegal aliens.
Unfortunately, our government is both insane and treasonous. The most ridiculous episode yet may be shaping up in the Sunshine State of Florida, where there is an illegal immigrant (as well as a Burmese python and a giant Gambian rat or two) behind every bush. According to the Tallahassee News-Press “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… (State Senator Frederica Wilson announced) ‘I personally find the word ‘alien’ offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children…an alien to me is someone from out of space.” Someone should tell this incredible ignoramous the correct usage of the word “alien” in the English language does apply to foreigners, and has been so used for centuries, as witness the infamous Alien and Sedition Act of 1798 or the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and 1902 (also known as the Alien Exclusion Act). The use of the word to describe extraterrestrial life forms is an invention of the 1950s science fiction crowd.
The flaming liberal legislator has introduced a bill ordering that: “A state agency or official may not use the term ‘illegal alien’ in an official document of the state… In Miami-Dade County, Wilson said, ‘we don’t say ‘alien,’ we say ‘immigrant.’ ” Yes, well, the trouble is, they’re not the same thing. An immigrant is someone who has legally come to this country, while an illegal alien is someone who has dodged border patrol agents to enter this country illegally. There actually may be some method in this Democrat’s madness, in that she’s not so much trying to get rid of the word “alien” as she is the term “illegal,” which of course is and always has been the crux of the immigration issue. By banning the use of the term “illegal” she is able to minimize and eventually eliminate from people’s minds the central fact that these people are COMMITTING A CRIME by illegally entering this country and taking American jobs, money, benefits and housing.
In a larger sense, I think we are going to see much more of this as time goes by and as it becomes increasingly clear that the government and the powers-that-be have no intention whatsoever of actually DOING anything at all about this problem. Notice that the Republicans spent six years in power controlling the executive, Senate and House and did nothing but line their pockets with kickbacks from Halliburton and Jack Abramoff when they should have been securing the border. The biggest flood of illegal aliens —20 MILLION— has taken place while George W. Bush was president. We are being betrayed by BOTH political parties, not just the Democrats. They may put the final rubber stamp on twenty million illegal aliens, but Bush and the Republicans let them into this country and failed to deport more than a tiny handful of them. If nothing is done for a long enough period of time, those twenty million illegals will produce anchor babies and become nearly impossible to throw out.
Our politicians will try to make the illegal alien problem go away by banning certain words and expressions and by pressuring or otherwise coercing discussion of the issue off the air waves, similar to the current efforts to outlaw any use of the “N-word” which would among other things ban literary classics like the works of Mark Twain, Jack London and Agatha Christie from the library shelves. If no one speaks about a problem for fear of punishment, then there’s no problem. Right?
