Why call immigrants ALIENS ...why not call them illegal?
Answer:
because not all immigraqnts are illegal. aliens just means from somewhere other than our country....you would be an alien in another country.
Because many immigrants are Legal.
When it was a saner World -
the Majority of Immigrants were Legal.
Alien means foreign. It is not a slur.
They are illegal ALIENS.
They should be deported at once.
Just plain stupid. Ignorance isn't a pass. If you went to France and murdered someone and said "whoops, I didn't know that was illegal since I don't speak French", do you think you'd get away with it? How moronic an argument. I really can't get over it. They are aliens, alienated from their homeland and raping mine. I don't want them here, no one does. Open your eyes hippie, let's let these ignorant people take the pass. Then they are eligible for welfare, social security and medicare/medicaid. WAIT A SECOND?! We don't have enough money to fund those now. Don't give me the "well they'll be putting money in the pot too" excuse because it's by no means a solution. Recognize the plight of Americans before you think about giving our rights away to those who don't LEGALLY deserve them. If you want to help someone have a better life, donate to Hurricane Katrina aid, donate blood to the Red Cross, but don't give America away.
Illegals are here without papers or permission, there is a legal way to immigrate here, but it is cumbersome, aliens isn't a reference to UFOs it has to do with being from out of country, not outer space. Not all immigrants are illegal, so why should they be lumped into the same category as legal immigrants?
Without the ability to turn to law enforcement when things happen, they become as slaves in our society, without recourse if they are cheated. For their sakes as well as our national security we need to know who is here.
Alien merely means one who is living in the United States and is not a citizen. There is nothing perjorative about the term.
Nearly every illegal immigrant knows full well he or she is breaking the law. Why else would they be sneaking in at night, wading across rivers, paying huge sums for transportation, etc.
Not all aliens are illegal.
I agree w/ the guy with a purple mowhawk. If you want to ruin ur country, fine. Stay there! Don't come here like a child with a broken toy. Adults take responsibility for ruining something. 3rd world plebeians do not. Unless you want human feces in all of your vegetables; ppl should think that "cheap labor", you get what you pay for. Humans do not poop where they eat, aliens do. Whoever started this has no formal education and should get out of a 1st world country and back to the 3rd. Why should America help all the crappy countries? Where was Mexico in the 1800's? oh yeah, KILLING AMERICANS. REMEMBER THE ALAMO?Cowardly Aliens raping a great nation in her sleep. Why her sleep, because she would swat off the parasites as soon as she saw them. All of you ignorant parasites only help the sleeping giant awaken.
It is NOT racist to call these people "illegal aliens" In fact, "illegal aliens" is the only term used in federal laws and regulations to describe criminals (and they ARE criminals) who come into our country illegally. They are not illegal immigrants, not undocumented immigrants, not migrant workers, and not day laborers - they're ILLEGAL ALIENS.
2. Mexico is NOT a poor country. By sending its teeming masses to our country, that status keeps on rising. Mexico has more resources per square mile than the U.S. and plenty of money to take care of its own people. Why should the taxpayers of this country subsidize Mexico's corruption?
3. Illegal aliens are NOT necessarily coming here to work. Lou Dobbs recently reported that 33 percent of our prison population is now comprised of non-citizens. Plus, 36 to 42 percent of illegal aliens are on welfare. So, for a good proportion of these people, the American dream is crime and welfare, not coming here to work.
4. Illegal aliens are NOT doing work Americans won't do. What jobs won't Americans do? In most states, Americans still clean their own houses, do their own landscaping, clean hotel rooms, work in restaurants and fast food places, paint houses, DO CONSTRUCTION WORK, work in airports, etc. - just like we have the past 200 years before "our" government allowed these people to invade our country. There are 18 million Americans who cannot find a job, so illegal aliens who are coming here to work do so at peril to American workers.
5. Illegal aliens absolutely do not contribute more than they cost. Certainly the millions in prison and on welfare aren't contributing a dime to our economy, and the ones who are working often are paid in cash with no deductions for taxes at all. The ones who use fraudulent social security numbers and qualify to pay taxes and social security have so many deductions for dependents that they pay little if any taxes. We have seen them pay less than $100 in taxes and get back $4,000 refunds (thanks to earned income tax credits and multiple dependents).Some bargain, eh?
6. The economy does NOT depend on illegal aliens. Sure, greedy CEOs (making $50 to $150 MILLION a year) and business owners depend on illegal aliens, but due to #3, #4 and #5 above, the only thing illegal aliens are contributing to is the collapse of our economy and making the rich richer.
7. Without illegal aliens, the price of agricultural products and other goods and services will NOT soar. The definitive study on this subject is the University of Iowa's "How Much Is That Tomato?" The study concludes that 'since labor is such a small component of the end-price of agricultural products (which includes price to the growers, transportation costs, processing /storage costs, grocers' profit, etc.), using minimum wage workers instead of illegal aliens would increase prices of agricultural products by approximately 3 percent in the summer and 4 percent in the winter ... hardly the making of $10 heads of lettuce, $25 hamburgers, $1,000 per night Days Inn hotel rooms like the pro-illegal alien lobby claims.
8. Consumers are NOT benefiting from lower labor costs. Again, it's CEOs and business owners who benefit from taxpayer subsidies for their illegal alien workers. The Big Three automakers say they moved so many jobs to Mexico because their labor costs are 80 percent less than in America. Anybody notice the price of new cars spiraling downward under NAFTA?
So, before you believe the prevalent pack of lies perpetuated by the illegal alien lobby, which makes billions off this government-sanctioned criminal activity, ask yourself who's saying this garbage and look at what they have to gain.
A logical fact of why they're called aliens is due to the fact that they're not native to the land sort of like a science fiction alien visiting Earth.It's like they're new to the environment.I think that the U.S. should be open to all immigrations whether legally or illegally.It all boils down to a sense of morals.Of course a person who thinks other people deserve the same oppurtunity as he or she not looking at race,creed,religion,gender,sex... they do come here to seek a better life for themselves or their families, but yet and still Mexico has to handle that problem themselves.Their government has to take action into rebuilding its economy which would explain why an American dollar is waaaay more valuable in pesos I can agree with that, yet you never know the danger you may be letting into the country like those suicide bombers.I think that's a big hub bub about nothing because the race and religion getting singled out are Arabs and Muslims which isn't right.How do you know a person of another race or religion isn't a suicide bomber? This country still has a lot of racist tension and issues it still isn't over.That's a fact.Yet others think that they are stealing jobs of the Americans like you said.I can see this problem yet wasn't it 300 or 200 years ago the Europeans,Asians,etc. immigrated to this country seeking a better life.Were they called aliens? Time change people but their needs don't, you see what I'm saying?I would get more into race and how The U.S. still has issues with it like this whole Barack Obama "The Black Hope" haha.Yes, as African American it is good to see a brown face running for president yet it's what he can do for the country ,the experience he has the same thing with Hilary and any other body running.It's what they can do for the country;satisfying the people's needs.Our United States is changing and we need somebody that identifies and handles that fact carefully.Of course I'm rambling on now.I hope I answered your question and got you thinking about other issues.

An immigrant is generally considered as someone that relocated or is relocating to another country legally. A resident alien is a foreigner who is a permanent resident of the country in which he or she resides but does not have citizenship. A non resident alien is a non-U.S. citizen who doesn't pass the green card test or the substantial presence test. A resident alien or non resident alien are usually pursuing citizenship An illegal alien is generally considered as someone in a country illegally, whether they sneaked across the border or overstayed their visa or passport visit. They are in the country illegally, hence the term illegal, and an alien, since they are are a foreigner, hence the term illegal alien.
Illegal aliens know very well what the immigration laws are. You have over 12 million here from Mexico illegally they understand immigration very well. Them having a better life is not our problem. The people of 9-11 were just people like anyone else. Why you would want more planes into buildings is beyond me.
The word alien according to the Webster dictionary so calling someone an illegal alien is proper English.
Alien only means that they are from another country and doesn't necessarily mean that they are illegally staying in the US. You can get in the US legally if all the immigration requirements and laws are met.
Most people didn't want to go through that process because it is a rigorous one and is always a long wait. 2 years the least and 20 years the most.
Yeah, you go ahead and work on the politically correct "wording" for calling those who illegally came to this country.
In the mean time, there will be more violent crimes committed, more social security numbers stolen, more neighborhood turned into ghetto, more gangs formed by these, well, I don't know what to call them....
no human is illegal....JUST read that word ILLEGAL......they are undocumented.
