.@McAffee: only ppl like you want illegal aliens here: you're part of the (extremely overblown) problems you complain about. #immigration

From @24aheaddotcom Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 9:25 pm

.@McAffee: you didn't answer my question, let's just try one this time. Are illegal aliens "immigrants"?

From @McAffee Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 11:21 am

@24AheadDotCom It depends. Some are simply migrant workers... others would be immigrants. I'm more concerned with the label "illegal."

From @McAffee Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 11:22 am

@24AheadDotCom You can dance around the issue all day... but we all know repetition of a negative label will lead to dehumanization...

From @McAffee Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 11:23 am

@24AheadDotCom possibly mistreatment, stigma, etc., that only pushes these humans into the shadows where more abuse occurs.

From @McAffee Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 11:27 am

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

From @Glaivester Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 8:04 pm

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

From @Glaivester Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 8:06 pm

.@McAffee @24AheadDotCom Would you support laws punishing employers who hire people illegally, who are the ones doing the abuse?

From @McAffee Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 9:23 am

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Both of you completely ignore the dehumanizing aspect. Why doesn't that seem to carry any weight with you?

From @McAffee Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 9:24 am

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom I would prefer to fix the broken system, and allow guest workers to migrate. That's good for business, cont...

From @McAffee Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 9:26 am

@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 Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 10:52 pm

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

From @Glaivester Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 10:54 pm

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

From @Glaivester Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 10:55 pm

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

From @Glaivester Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 10:56 pm

.@McAffee @24AheadDotCom I'm more concerned w/terms that excuse or minimize breaking our laws or that do not acknowledge foreign status

From @Glaivester Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 10:58 pm

.@McAffee @24AheadDotCom e.g. "undocumented" sounds like technicality; "undoc. worker" downplays fact that person is not US responsbility.

From @McAffee Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 10:12 am

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom I'm fine with acknowledging their foreign status. Undocumented isn't always very accurate either.

From @McAffee Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 10:59 am

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom I've always preferred unauthorized as a term. But it's also okay to say 'person who immigrated illegally.'

From @McAffee Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 11:01 am

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

From @McAffee Wed, Dec 11, 2013 at 11:08 am

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

From @24aheaddotcom Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 8:49 pm

.@McAffee: criminals don't want to be called criminals, should we respect that? Are illegal aliens immigrants? #immigration #tcot #ows #tlot

From @24aheaddotcom Tue, Dec 3, 2013 at 9:07 pm

.@McAffee: would you prefer "undocumented immigrant" or "undocumented worker"? Let me know if it's one of those or another.

From @Helm_Travis Tue, Dec 3, 2013 at 9:13 pm

@24AheadDotCom I have been using Undocumented Individual, but I am still not comfortable with that either.

From @McAffee Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 8:36 am

@24AheadDotCom did your mother teach you any manners? If a people don't want to be called something, you respect that.

From @McAffee Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 8:38 am

@24AheadDotCom but that would require you have some respect for them as people. I'm imagining you don't. #Dehumanizing

From @McAffee Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 8:39 am

@24AheadDotCom but immigrants they are. Perhaps without authorization... but that really begs the question. They may have documents...

From @McAffee Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 8:40 am

@24AheadDotCom undocumented isn't always accurate. Just be respectful of human life please... that's all I'm asking.

From @24aheaddotcom Tue, Dec 3, 2013 at 9:06 pm

.@McAffee: nice playing of the race card. Yet, "negro" is a racial descriptor, "illegal alien" is a neutral, factual, legal descriptor. #ows

From @McAffee Tue, Dec 3, 2013 at 2:15 pm

@24AheadDotCom @MarkSKrikorian Oh, well that makes it okay. I'm sure negro is in there somewhere as well.

From @McAffee Tue, Dec 3, 2013 at 2:18 pm

@24AheadDotCom @MarkSKrikorian Interestingly enough, the Supreme Court never used the term in the Arizona case. http://t.co/cacNYPXzDO
