"White people are a dying race"
“white people are a dying race” That is something that was said to me by a lawyer today.

Illegal Aliens
Illegals. Illegal aliens.
How is it that it became OK to call humans aliens? Since when did illegal become a noun? Does no one think that is wrong to call someone an alien?

“They come here to live with us and don’t work and don’t try to learn English.”
How many times have you heard that one? We complain constantly about immigrants not learning any English, call them lazy and whine about it. Now let’s break this down:

While language is always important, it has a special prominence when the discussion turns to immigration—and race. As [linguist Geoffrey] Nunberg noted about the charged vocabulary around the topic: “The words refuse to be confined to their legal and economic senses; they swell with emotional…

So far, only about 10 states allow undocumented students to attend college and pay in-state tuition versus skyrocketing international fees. In places like Alabama, undocumented students are banned from attending any and all colleges. The poll is about whether undocumented students should be allowed to pay in-state tuition.
Right now, more people vote NO then YES.
