No Xavier, you missed the point. Glad you showed your true colors though; I’m sure you were dying to spell out the N-word.

If you think all words are equal, then there’s no point it arguing semantics with you.

I also find it interesting that you felt comfortable spelling out Wetback and Broad but not Nigger.

What is wrong with W-word, B-word and N-word?

Wetback v. Mexican.
N-Word v. African-American
Broad v. Woman

Yeah, what’s the difference?
========================

You completely missed the point.

You have to remember, what would the Villar’s and Baca’s of the world do without politics. There narcism will not allow them to be succesful in the private sector. But getting back to the terms “illegal immigrant”, to move across a national border without proper documentation. As oppose to “legal immigrant”, to move across a national border with proper documentation. “Ilegal alien”, is any person who resides in country without proper documentation. Websters describes “alien” as a resident born in or belonging to another country who has not acquired citizenship by naturalization, therefore illegally (distinguished from citizen). If you are here in this country with false documentation or someone else’s documentation, thats criminal, called i.d. theft. This all sounds like we are trying to logically rationalize a way to create a derrogatory to straight forward terms. But we can soften it up a bit, by creating a new term such as “citizen challenged”. Which could represent all the above termonalogy. If your “citizen challenged”, you don’t have legal documentation; and without legal documentation your therefore illegally residing in that country. Hope this helps.

Re: ‘Mayor V for Senator? Are you people crazy? Why Because his last name sounds like ours? Are latinos willing to commit suicide to make a statement…”

Oh brother. He’s an INDIVIDUAL and like other INDIVIDUALS he has the right to run for whatever he wants. It has nothing to do with all Latinos.

“words mean things” happens to be one of Rush Limbaugh’s favorite sayings. Though I guess they don’t mean anything when offending minorities.

Mayor V for Senator? Are you people crazy? Why Because his last name sounds like ours? Are latinos willing to commit suicide to make a statement that only ineffective, selfish do-nothings can represent us because they are brown. How are our lives better because of the Nunez/Villar/Baca and Romero’s of this state? I fear that all we want as latino’s is people who look like us rather than results.

Illegal vs. undocumented
Shell shock vs. PTSD
Indian style vs. criss-cross

What is the difference? NOTHING! PC feel good talk that doesn’t change the meaning it just makes you feel good. I am so disgusted with what we put up with and are comforted by.
