i think of extraterrestrials instead of immigrants :)

start calling them illegal immigrants or something else

when they call them illegal aliens does that mean there are legal aliens in the US too?

what kind of weird description is that?
anyone else find this a stupid description name?

why do they call people aliens wth?
 
Well, There are a lot of main stream terms that are stupid, simply wrong or does not make any sense.

However regarding the topic of discussion, No the "illegal aliens" term is a legitimate term to use.

from a dictionary, "Alien" as the key word

"alien adj. being or from or characteristic of another place or part of the world"alien customs""exotic plants in a greenhouse""exotic cuisine"adj. not contained in or deriving from the essential nature of something"an economic theory alien to the spirit of capitalism""the mysticism so foreign to the French mind and temper""jealousy is foreign to her nature"[possession] v. transfer property or ownership"The will aliened the property to the heirs"See foreignerSee extraterrestrial beingSee estrangeSee stranger"

I do apologise for the formatting.

Have a good day/night

I have heard the term legal alien/ resident alien before btw.
 
ah i see hats for the clarification guys

is this a US thing or do they call this in UK too?

its just that being so involved into the paranormal/ufos/aliens that everytime you mention the word "alien" i get a mental image of a typical "grey alien" its annoying lol
 
Well, I would wager that Lloyd Pye believes he has one of their Anchor Children's skull in hand.
