Economy 53,144 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'm opposed to so much of this but I don't know whether it's because I think it's stupid we're getting up in arms about an imaginary border that our society created or because it's literally a stupid plan. Make Mexico pay for the wall? What? How about don't build a freaking wall? Hire American workers first? How about make it easier to become an American. Ugh I'm really attached to this issue because a good portion of my family went through Hell to become American citizens just to face racism and threats of deportation. This is so not right. Down with the wall, down with the stronger ICE, border patrol, down with the racial profiling, down with the GOP. Thanks for sharing, though, Maze Runner. i dont agree with the extremes he goes to dont get me wrong, im not approving of his attittudes... but at the same time, make it too eazy to become a citizen and too many illegals flood the country in the hopes of becoming one knowing odds of deportation are reduced immigrants can be good for a nation but there has to be a limit on how many you absorb per year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbuHassan1992 766 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 its super offensive to me and to others. doenst matter where you live. i think you should call "alien" anybodyhow is it offensive? It's a legal term. It's like saying "citizen" is offensive. You don't have to have done anything wrong to be an alien, you simply have to not be from the place where you are considered to be an alien. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy232000 13,286 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 how is it offensive? It's a legal term. It's like saying "citizen" is offensive. You don't have to have done anything wrong to be an alien, you simply have to not be from the place where you are considered to be an alien. i dont care if its a legal term. alien can also be referred to an extraterrestrial being that is unknown, and for someone from the U.S.A (which is seen as "living in their own bubble" by many latin american countries) call us "aliens" its like saying we are unknown creatures. and under the situation that is used. it specially bad...and offensive if you see it that way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever heard the term" alien object"? It simply means something didn't originally belong at that place. You're twisting the word and crating problems where there are none.

Referring to aliens in a legal sense is not referring to martians. Alien means foreign. Someone from a different country is foreign. Something from a different planet is foreign.

GloZell Green 11,723 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Honestly this man is mental. Mexico isn't paying for a wall that they don't have to pay And honestly "they have to go" like you're not a king. If the whole birth thing goes through, I'm going to be deported. This just sucks honestly, I'm sick of this disgusting situation. May this man be given the worst treatment possible for the rest of his run for office.
