"Georgia Latinos Object to 'Illegal Aliens' Label Friday, February 27, 2004 ATLANTA - Each year, nearly 1 million foreigners unlawfully sneak into the United States. But don't call them "illegal aliens" because that's the moral equivalent of a racial slur, according to the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials. "We do find that term very offensive and liken it to the 'n' word as well," GALEO Executive Director Kerry Gonzalez said, referring to the derogatory term used to describe black people."MY THOUGHTS Ok, we need to get grip. Are they "legal"? No Are they "citizens"? No I don't see the problem here. They are illegal aliens and what is wrong with calling them that?. They don't have the right to a drivers license, free healthcare, a say in what our government does, or any other rights of an American citizen. If this hurts their feelings, (here's an idea), maybe they should stay home. If they want to come to America, get in line, sign the papers and do it the LEGAL way. Then they will be "legal" aliens. Then when they become citizens they will be legal American citizens. In the meantime I see nothing wrong with rounding them up and sending them home.
