Re: SPJ urging journalists to stop using the term: "illegal immigrant."

Yes, the term illegal immigrant is offensive to me and should be to all Americans. The term should be illegal aliens, immigrant to me means they are here to stay ( which in 98% of the time they do, to leach off tax paying citizens by draining our school systems, welfare programs, (that is another touchy subject)sucking up jobs and perhaps even voting in our country. I am for closing the border, cutting off any aid and sending them back no matter how long they've been here or how young are.
