LOS ANGELES (Oct. 17) - A Southern California immigrant rights group on Friday asked Target stores and a costume company to stop selling a Halloween "illegal alien" costume it said is offensive to immigrants.
The costume features the mask of an alien with a green card and an orange jumpsuit with "illegal alien" written across the front.
Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, wrote e-mails to Minneapolis-based Target and Wisconsin-based BuySeasons, Inc. calling the costume "distasteful, mean-spirited, and ignorant of social stigmas and current debate on immigration reform."

I included the grammar lesson, because I would hate to offend any illegal aliens who may be reading this.
Actually, no I wouldn't.
Please take note. If you are an illegal alien, please be offended. Be very offended. Be so offended that you can't stand the thought of living in the same country as someone so offensive as me and please, take your illegal butt and haul it back to whatever country you came from.
I'm not sure what I find more outright offensive, the fact that there are entire advocacy groups and agencies who do nothing but fight for the rights of americans to be given to those who have no right to be here, or the fact that Target would actually listen to those groups and pull an item from their website.
I see those big red balls in front of the Target store, maybe its a sign that the comapny itself has none.
Maybe it's time a company took a stand. Tell the whiners that nobody gives a rat if the illegal aliens are offended by the costumes. I am offended by their very presence here, but I don't see Ms. Salas taking any measures to remove the offensive item from my country.
Offendeded?
Boo Hoo!
First, what a waste of paper for someone to even complain about it. And as if Target would be worried about losing those shoppers.
ReplyDeleteYep, I agree. I have no problem with people who are desperate enough to do what they can to excape their crap of a country to try and start a new here. However, there is a process to declare yourself and get the ball rolling to become at the very least documented. I respect their journey.
But those who come here, are illegal and have no intention of lifting a finger to change that - but are all for using those advocacy groups to their full potentiality, I have nothing.
