Illegal immigrants there, not here

16 year old was suspended for three days for using the term "illegal alien" in class, family is suing.
Could be more to this but here it is

North Carolina student sues school board after suspension for using the term 'illegal alien'

Hmmm ...

Another student allegedly took offense to the term and threatened to fight Christian, forcing the teacher to contact the assistant principal. The staff later deemed the term to be offensive to Hispanic students and punished Christian with a three-day suspension.

My late wife was a Latina. She didn't consider the term "illegal alien" to be offensive, because she was legal. She was more concerned about applying the label "Hispanic" to South Americans who weren't born in Spain.

Just saw what I can only describe as an anti-deportation ad during the KC/Texas game
It starts out decribeing a happy family in some unnamed central America country. Happy that is until armed men came to their village and they had to flee. It then says they had nowhere to go. It ends saying Jesus was a refugee.

[230RN]

For years I've been railing against using the term "migrants" to soften the term "illegal aliens."

Although technically, anyone who moves from A to B is a migrant, this use of the term "migrant" by the media and others makes these invaders sound somehow legitimate.

What that "Oh, Republicans are so heartless!" ad isn't telling you is that the Biden Administration allowed the armed men who attacked the village into the United States.

No questions asked.

Given the numbers and the organization behind it, I think "invaders" isn't too strong a term.

Well, I didn't want to say this out loud, but I have heard the term "reconquistadores" applied to our present infucks ...influx, sorry, of "migrants."

With respect to so-called "refugees," I hate to sound hard-hearted, but keeping in mind that xenophobia is a survival trait, I say send them back to their own country to solve their problems at the source.

I sometimes amuse myself by adding, silently, "...with a .22 rifle and a couple of bricks of ammo."

Silently.

Toddler Jesus was a refugee in Egypt.  The gifts from the Wise Men probably came in very handy as Joseph and his family were fleeing Bethlehem.  But I'm not sure what their point is; Haiti may be an evil failed state, but AFAIK they are not murdering all the infants there. (Matthew chapter 2)

And many advocates of unlimited refugees would argue that it's somehow "cruel" to expect them to solve their own problems. They choose to forget that this country did, a bit less than 250 years ago.

"But the British didn't have tanks," they whine. Yeah, well the Russians had tanks in Afghanistan. How'd that work out?

zxcvbob noted,

"But I'm not sure what their point is."

The point is to make an impact, right or wrong, logical or not, realistic or not, on peoples' minds.

It's called "advertising," "public relations (PR)," "propaganda," "raising consciousness," and it is an art, a science, a technique, which is very effective, even on people who consider themselves immune to these "impacts."

The Lefties and Commies are very adept at these techniques.

After all, have you ever noticed that advertising, especially on the visual media, is grindingly repetitive?  You think they're wasting their millions of dollars on you, the sophisticated and intelligent viewer who is immune to these successive impacts?

Dream on, sophisticated and intelligent viewer who is immune to these successive impacts.

Dream on.

As usual the only time the shitlibs portray religion as a positive is to use an aspect of it to club you over the head with it in an attempt to nullify your position. “bUt jEsUS”

Minor correction in what I saw as when I first I saw it my mind was focused on the computer when it started the first time I saw it but it aired again and this time my mind was focused on it from the beginning.
The narration called them Many and Joseph then went on to describe the above while showing pictures of a modern family in what obviously appeared to be a C. American country. Doesn't make really any different but I though I should be clearer in what how commercial was trying to convey what it was.

[Live Life]

anti-deportation ad ... starts out decribeing a happy family in some unnamed central America country. Happy that is until armed men came to their village and they had to flee. It then says they had nowhere to go. It ends saying Jesus was a refugee.

Wait, there's more that ad left out ... Jesus, Mary and Joseph returned back from Egypt to Israel and was happy family again.

And if Jesus hadn't returned back to face and fulfill his destiny to be crucified as risen Christ the Savior, we wouldn't be having this anti-deportation ad discussion.

So the moral of ad story is be like Jesus and return back to your oppressive countries and "face the music/fix the country" to fulfill your destiny, even if it means making sacrifices.

There could be follow-up anti-anti-deportation ad showing Jesus/Mary/Joseph staying in Egypt ... Wait ... been there and done that with another Joseph and Moses.

I’m sure all the people who use that line of argument are dedicated followers of Christ.

  I still like the term "wetbacks".

I just realized I had not used or heard that term in quite a while.  Must've been verboten by the softhearted among us.

[K Frame]

Someone once told me, many years ago, that "wet legs" was another term used to describe Mexicans who crossed the border illegally because it literally meant that they had waded across the Rio Grande.

Never been able to find any indication that it was ever used, or when, so it must have been something very local.

"Wetbacks" was used to indicate that they had swum across the Rio Grande.  There used to be more water in it.

Now it is more like wet legs where they cross. It just doesn't have the same ring to it!

I know the origin of the phrase. I'm saying that apparently other phrases were used to indicate the same thing.

And no, the Rio Grande didn't always have enough water to swim.

Read Charles Askins (the only person I've ever met who literally terrified me) stories about patrolling the border in the early 1930s when Mexicans would... wade across the Rio Grande with metal tanks filled with alcohol to be sold in the US in violation of prohibition.

I visited Big Bend National Park here in Texas earlier this year, and at the Boquillas Overlook - on OUR side of the border - was a large illicit Mexican curio market with hundreds of items for sale - pottery & ceramics, copper wire sculptures, sombreros, walking sticks, etc. It was unattended but everything was priced, and there were a couple of cash strong boxes chained to big stakes in the ground for people to pay via the honor system. The Rio Grade wasn't much more than a trickle at the time, and a well-used path for foot traffic was obvious.

Oh, and as for terms - the mass deportation that took place during the Eisenhower administration was called "Operation Wetback."

[230RN]

Regardless of the terminology ("wetbacks," "migrants," "immigrants," whatever), if they admire this country that much, they should be sent back to change their country into the United States model.

As I mentioned in a stage whisper a couple of posts ago, "sent back with a .22 rifle and a couple of bricks of ammo."

<stage whisper on>

Or maybe each one with a half dozen pistols similar to the famous "Liberator" pistol...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FP-45_Liberator



"The pistol was valued as much for its psychological warfare effect as its actual field performance. It was believed that if vast quantities of these handguns could be delivered into Axis-occupied territory, it would have a devastating effect on the morale of occupying troops. The plan was to drop them in such great quantities that occupying forces could never capture or recover all of them. It was hoped that the thought of thousands of these unrecovered weapons potentially in the hands of the citizens of occupied countries would have a deleterious effect on enemy morale.[7]"

Despite the fact that more than a million were manufactured, "higher-ups" doubted their effectiveness and many were never distributed.

Be sure to remind any libs screeching about deportations of this.
In case you need a reminder it happened under Clinton https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/fabiola-santiago/article76775897.html

I always thought "reconquista" was a stupid thing to bring up as most of those people descend from the people that were conquered by the Spanish.  Plus, Mexico brought in immigrants from the US because they were getting pushed out by the Comanches.  Sort of like trying to claim some sort of Aztec heritage when they only controlled the area around Mexico City.
