Senator Wilson (d-Miami)
This is the epitome idiocy from Florida Democrat State Senator Frederica Wilson, D-Miami.
This woman is a piece of work. Sometimes it’s embarassing to admit that I reside in Florida with this kind of elected official.
This from The Tallahassee News-Press:
A state legislator whose district is home to thousands of Caribbean immigrants wants to ban the term "illegal alien" from the state’s official documents."I personally find the word ‘alien’ offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children," said Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami. "An alien to me is someone from out of space."
She has introduced a bill providing that: "A state agency or official may not use the term ‘illegal alien’ in an official document of the state." There would be no penalty for using the words.
In Miami-Dade County, Wilson said, "we don’t say ‘alien,’ we say ‘immigrant.’"
She said she encountered the situation when trying to pass a bill allowing children of foreigners to get in-state tuition at colleges and universities. Wilson, who directs a dropout prevention and education program in Miami, said she politely asks witnesses at public hearings on such issues not to use the term.
"There are students in our schools whose parents are trying to become citizens and we shouldn’t label them," she said. "They are immigrants, through no fault of their own, not aliens
Some suggestions that we could hang on these poor individuals that landed in the U.S. (illegally) through no fault of their own.
