I remember when they were called “wetbacks”.

The guy has been the announcer for three decades, that's a fine send off for a long time employee.

Yeh, I get it was probably unnecessary comment. But at the same time, saying the words illegal alien is now a offense you can be fired over??? Alien for foreigners is referred to in the constitution.. it's now in the same category as derogatory racial slurs..

Crazy

If you entered the country illegally, you are an illegal alien. It's a fact, not racism. And it doesn't necessarily mean one race, it can refer to anyone who entered the country illegally. I'm not using the stupid "undocumented." They're undocumented because they're here illegally.

I fail to see what's wrong with calling them illegal aliens.
