Term 'illegal immigrant' is "incendiary" and offensive"

EXCLUSIVE: Gary Johnson Lays Out Immigration Vision, Objects to Term 'Illegal Immigrant,' Defends Executive Amnesty

.....

.....

I asked Johnson about his immigration policies from the perspective of a border state governor (:30), and pressed him on his previously-stated support for Obama's unilateral executive amnesty (6:45). Along the way, we also sparred over the term "illegal immigrant," to which Johnson strenuously objected (4:20) as "incendiary" and offensive:

...

Johnson laid out a pro-immigration platform, making the case that a robust legal immigration regime, featuring permissive work permit standards, is a boon to the US economy. And he again defended Obama's 'DAPA' executive order as "appropriate," although he hedged on its constitutionality.

UC Berkeley Student Government Bans Term ‘Illegal Immigrant’

The UC Berkeley student government has banned the term “illegal immigrant” from its discourse, deeming the phrase racist, offensive, unfair and derogatory.

In an unanimous vote, student senators passed a resolution that stated the word “illegal” is “racially charged,” “dehumanizes” people, and contributes to “punitive and discriminatory actions aimed primarily at immigrants and communities of color.”

The “resolution in support of drop the I-word campaign” was approved 18 to 0 with one abstention on Oct. 30, according to a copy of the meeting’s minutes obtained by The College Fix.

Its approval marks at least the second time this semester that a public university’s student government has voted to eradicate the phrase. UCLA passed a nearly identical measure in late August.

There are an estimated 900 students in the country illegally who are currently enrolled in the 10-campus, University of California system, according to UC officials. These students live in “fear” because former Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano is now president of the UC system, according to the resolution, which aims to “create a safe campus environment for all students.”

Wouldn't want to harsh Gary's high with an incendiary term. :D:420:

I don't get the people that have an issue with this term, which is simply it's literal term. They ARE immigrants and they ARE illegally in the country. They simply don't want to be pointed out or acknowledged as being in the country illegally.

As for Johnson, I'm cool with him being a stoner. He may not have been smoking, but admitted to eating the edibles sometime in March. Said he was eating "Cheeba Chews". Sounds like something my dog would eat! :laugh: He resigned from "Cannabis Sativa Inc" in January to run for president. Gotta wonder how much and what else he's been eating! :lol:

Let him welcome a couple dozen into his home, cater to them, and support them.

Let's see how long it is before he gets his throat slit.
