Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Calls "Illegal Immigrant" A Racist Term

[Bootstraps]

It's sadly pathetic how many people think white people can't be here illegally too. In all seriousness, you shouldn't be driving or operating heavy machinery if you can't acknowledge that is a problem too.

I really, really, really don't get the white guilt thing. It's anathema to me.

White guilt is a made-up term that white racists created to denigrate whites who actually try to understand what white racism has done and are non racist. Whites practicing racism today try lying about how they're blamed for the past, and that's a lie.

What utter bullshit. It's ... well ... racist.

Johnson is no communist. The closest thing we have to what those like you consider communism is sitting in the white house. Trump made unbelievably stupid promises and the ignorant put him in office.

The ignorance of the Left - and their ability to deflect guilt - is truly stunning.

It is racist in how it's being applied. "Americans" lie to themselves, but true Americans know that your ancestors would be considered illegal immigrants today. You didn't settle in an undeveloped land, nor did you build a civilization. Illegal immigrants can't get welfare or health care.

You are clueless to what illegal immigrants get and how they get the welfare and healthcare. Google it and you will find out how simple it actually is.

Perhaps a more accurate term would be invasive species, like the Chinese carp or Burmese python.

I have. And it doesn't happen unless it is an extreme circumstance. Furthermore, illegal immigrants contribute nearly 100 billion dollars in taxes annually to this country and they help fund programs you right-wing anti-immigrant bigots take advantage of.

I don't really have a clue what he's talking about. What does slavery have to do with this?

Why Chicago’s Brandon Johnson fumed at ‘illegal alien’ question

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson argued that the phrase “illegal alien” strips away the humanity of the person in question.

I've been trolling the left for years by calling them "illegals". The left just hate that.

 

[LeftofLeft]

So many things are considered “racist” these days. The term is overused.

Yes it is overused but so are the words Nazi and Fascist.

And, where did you get "extreme" circumstances? Not at all. Happens all the time. Millions gone because of Democrats buying votes. And, when you start invoking the "bigot" word, you lost the debate. That's one of the leftist Democrats way of trying to stop conversation and information from getting out to the public. Too late! You cannot silence us anymore.

8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) (part of INA enforcement) says, “ … knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection an illegal alien.”

8 U.S.C. § 1365(a) says, “Reimbursement of States for costs of incarcerating illegal aliens and certain Cuban nationals.”

Public Law 99-180 (1985) § 142(a) (codified at various 8 U.S.C. sections) says, “construct a facility for the incarceration of illegal alien felons, in accordance with the standards and procedures . . . .”

The Mayor is a fraud and he’s the one who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

So Fascist Barbie broke federal law, right?

No.

They are illegal aliens. The use of 'immigrant' was a liberal attempt at softening their criminality. They pushed hard to make these criminals into 'undocumented immigrants' to remove such stigma. Fortunately that failed. Now it is time to remove the false term immigrant from these criminals as well.
