.@McAffee: you didn't answer my question, let's just try one this time. Are illegal aliens "immigrants"?
Justin J. McAffee's avatar
From @McAffee
@24AheadDotCom It depends. Some are simply migrant workers... others would be immigrants. I'm more concerned with the label "illegal."

From @McAffee
@24AheadDotCom You can dance around the issue all day... but we all know repetition of a negative label will lead to dehumanization...
Justin J. McAffee's avatar
From @McAffee
@24AheadDotCom possibly mistreatment, stigma, etc., that only pushes these humans into the shadows where more abuse occurs.

@24AheadDotCom bigotry comes in diverse ways... you don't have to be wearing a white cape.

.@McAffee @24AheadDotCom If I were driving without a license, it would not be bigotry to call me an illegal driver.

From @Glaivester
.@McAffee @24AheadDotCom Would you support laws punishing employers who hire people illegally, who are the ones doing the abuse?
Justin J. McAffee's avatar
From @McAffee
@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Both of you completely ignore the dehumanizing aspect. Why doesn't that seem to carry any weight with you?

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom If someone is here as a guest worker, their children would not be citizens, and they aren't likely to stay.

From @Glaivester
.@McAffee @24AheadDotCom If guestworkers give birth while here, children are automatically citizens.

From @Glaivester
.@McAffee @24AheadDotCom what does "allow to migrate" mean? Allow them to be guest workers, or allow guest workers permanent status?

.@McAffee @24AheadDotCom Isn't punishing employers who cut corners to increase profits part of fixing the broken system?

From @Glaivester
.@McAffee @24AheadDotCom I'm more concerned w/terms that excuse or minimize breaking our laws or that do not acknowledge foreign status
Glaivester's avatar
From @Glaivester
.@McAffee @24AheadDotCom e.g. "undocumented" sounds like technicality; "undoc. worker" downplays fact that person is not US responsbility.
Justin J. McAffee's avatar
From @McAffee
@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom I'm fine with acknowledging their foreign status. Undocumented isn't always very accurate either.
Justin J. McAffee's avatar
From @McAffee
@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom I've always preferred unauthorized as a term. But it's also okay to say 'person who immigrated illegally.'

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom @AP has a nice explanation of why they changed the style guide here: http://t.co/t6Q4r96kzi

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Again, it's not about excusing or minimizing. It's about NOT overblowing and degrading.
