Illegal Aliens
The term “illegal alien” is an ugly and strident term that should be junked. The term is odious, it is pugnacious, it is separatist and, finally, it is alien to all the good things that America stands for.
If we are to be worthy of our proud heritage, the name-calling must stop and we--all of us--must treat our brothers as we would like to be treated.
