Politcal correctness is now reaching the debate on illegal immigration. Florida legislator, Frederica Wilson, D-Miami whose district is home to thousands of Caribbean immigrants wants to ban the term “illegal alien” from the state’s official documents.
“I personally find the word ‘alien’ offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children,” said Sen. Wilson. “An alien to me is someone from out of space.”
In Miami-Dade County, Wilson said, “we don’t say ‘alien,’ we say ‘immigrant.’”
Ms. Wilson said she encountered the situation when trying to pass a bill allowing children of foreigners to get in-state tuition at colleges and universities.
“There are students in our schools whose parents are trying to become citizens and we shouldn’t label them,” she said. “They are immigrants, through no fault of their own, not aliens.”
“‘Illegal,’ I can live with, but I like ‘undocumented’ better,” Wilson said.
A key point, beyond the ridiculous political correctness bill, is students in our schools of non-citizen parents. Some of these “students” are illegal aliens/immigrants also.
