#1 If only the democrats cared about Americans as much as they care about illegal aliens.

#2 Intruders, invaders, interlopers, trespassers, squatters, stateless undesirables... I suppose all terms are out of the question.

Ha ! Just caught a Freudian slip.

It's vital that we respect the dignity of immigrants fleeing violence and prosecution in our language Even if he meant to say 'persecution', he slipped there. Like he said, "Words matter."

#5 one has to assume he's protecting himself and his own. If he adds [insert token for anal orifice here], we'll know for sure.

#6 Truly Orwellian. We've arrived.

Eliminate the words "illegal alien" in order to eliminate the thoughtcrime of support for enforcing immigration law

#11 I'm guessing Castro would be appalled by the ~~illegal alien~~ undocumented foreign national program under Eisenhower: Here. Everyone's hair would be on fire on the left and there would be frantic attempts to scrub history.

Maybe Joaquin Castro should not be referred to as Castro since Fidel Castro was such a ruthless bastid. He and Che put all their enemies in front of firing squads after the Cuban revolution.
