We’re saved from our long national nightmare of Democratic politicians using proper descriptive terms

(AP) Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Tuesday her use of the term “illegal immigrants” was a “poor choice of words” and she pledged not to use it anymore, responding to criticism from immigration activists.

The Democratic presidential candidate was asked about her use of the term to describe people who are in the U.S. illegally during a question-and-answer session on Facebook held by Telemundo. The question came from Jose Antonio Vargas, a filmmaker and journalist whose organization, Define American, has said the terminology is offensive and asked all presidential candidates to stop using it.

“Yes, I will,” Clinton wrote during a stop in Boulder, Colorado. “That was a poor choice of words. As I’ve said throughout this campaign, the people at the heart of this issue are children, parents, families, DREAMers. They have names and hopes and dreams that deserve to be respected.”

Can you guess who else have names and hopes and dreams? American citizens and those who are in the United States legally, who often see those hopes and dreams dashed by criminal conduct of illegals, as well as seeing wages deflated, hospital ERs closed, oh, and their names stolen by illegals involved in identity theft.

What brought this all on, to have illegal aliens and their supporters have a typical emotional breakdown for a phrase?

During a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire earlier this month, Clinton said she voted “numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. And I do think you have to control your borders.”

The horror! One has to wonder, if Hillary can’t say the phrase, and if she has to govelingly apologize, how can she have the strength to be POTUS? This just another piece of politically correct gobbledegook from a pandering and spineless Democrat. Would you trust her on illegal immigration if she can’t even stand strong in the face of upset illegal aliens?

Dear Hilarity:

Let’s say that you came home and found me in your kitchen. I had washed and dried the breakfast dishes and made the bed. Would you have the Secret Service arrest me? Or would you adopt me?

Of course, we will be told “that’s different”, even though it is an apt allegory. When you enter our country illegally, or you stay in our country after your VISA has expired, you are illegally in the country. If you carry out some action in violation of the law, you are illegal. If you don’t like illegal immigrant, perhaps we should call you alien invaders!
