Neither do I and that is not what this is about.***

No shit--and not just in the United States of America.

However, in countries like the United States of America where people are mostly angered over undocumented people from Mexico and other Spanish speaking countries, there remain certain nationalities, ethnicities, and cultures of people who are more likely to be called "aliens" whereas for other nationalities, ethnicities, and cultures of people the legal term is often conveniently forgotten in favor of "illegal/undocumented immigrant".

Sometimes people challenge legal terms which does not mean they are challenging the law.*** This is certainly not the first or the last time people challenge language and wording. Differing opinions aside, people can take these challenges to their Congressperson and/or discuss it amongst themselves which is why I replied to your post.

Así es la vida
