Washington, DC (TLS). If a Florida state legislator has her way, the use of the term 'illegal alien' will be banned in Florida.
State Senator Frederica Wilson, D-Miami, whose district is home to thousands of immigrants and illegal aliens, has introduced a bill before the state legislature that would ban the term 'illegal alien' in state documents.
Stating that the term 'alien' means a creature from outer space, Wilson maintains that she finds the term 'offensive.'
Perhaps someone should inform the good Senator that the term 'illegal alien' has been around much longer than movies about outer space creatures, and that the term has always referred to persons who gain entrance into the country illegally.
The Liberty Sphere hopes that the Florida legislature rejects Wilson's bill for the balderdash lunacy that it is.
As for our part, we plan on continuing to refer to illegal aliens as, well, illegal aliens. Immigrants come here legally. There is no such thing as an 'illegal immigrant' since those who come here illegally are not immigrants at all.
Thus, we will continue to do our part to make an important distinction between legal immigration and law-breakers, i.e., illegal aliens.
