Congressman Introduces Orwellian Language in Legislation

Every year, immigrants in search of better lives for themselves and their families make the effort to follow the proper procedures to enter the United States. Many contribute their fair share to society. However, it is neither fair to them nor to the American people when politicians attempt to place illegal aliens on equal footing as those coming here lawfully. That is exactly what Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) did.

Rep. Castro, the brother of Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro who is pushing to decriminalize illegal immigration, introduced legislation earlier this month to remove the terms “illegal” and “illegal alien” from immigration laws passed by the federal government. In Orwellian fashion, his legislation aims to replace the two terms with “foreign national” and “undocumented foreign national.”

“The words ‘alien’ and ‘illegal alien’ work to demonize and dehumanize the migrant community,” he said. “They should have no place in our government’s description of human beings.”

What other terms should be disallowed?  Let me see:  murderer, rapist, gangster, drunk, thief, fraud, hit man.  Why the possibilities are endless.  Sooner or later we'll have to grunt and gesture to talk about things democrats don't like.
