NO FACTS ALLOWED : ILLEGAL HuffPo Writer Claims It’s UNFAIR to Call Her “ILLEGAL”
Political correctness has reached a level of absurdity in this country where if a leftist snowflake is offended by facts, the rest of the universe is supposed to play along with their pretend-world and not call a spade a spade.
At some point the nonsense has to end. Facts and the truth can never yield to those offended by them.
In addition, when this illegal immigrant Leslie Arreaza says “we are unapologetic,” she is spitting on the face of every teenager who is on the way to coming to the U.S. LEGALLY, yet has to patiently wait while her parents broke the law to cut in line.
Total disrespect for the rule of law.

Huffington Post contributor Leslie Arreaza is going to college through the Golden Door Scholars Program, a program designed to help ‘undocumented students’ (otherwise known as illegal aliens) continue their education.
Despite that largesse and the fact that she’s actually getting a benefit citizens don’t get, she’s upset that some people would refer to her as ‘illegal’.
From Weasel Zippers, via Huffington Post:
Illegal is defined as forbidden by law, especially criminal law. I am not defined as forbidden by law. No law in any country can tell me that I am a criminal simply for wanting a better life. I did not come to the U.S. by choice, as I was a child, but I will never resent my parents for making that decision for me. They chose to give up their lives and careers for my wellbeing, and that is more than I could ever ask for. To see the negativity hurts, and it stings to see people truly think of me as a criminal.
Psst, yes, you are here illegally, it is against the law.
Yes, every country has the right to set borders and to determine who can enter.
To say I am illegal is to deny my humanity and reduce me to a criminal. To say we are illegal is to say our entire existence is defined by the laws of a country who thinks of us as numbers not people. I am not a criminal ― we are not criminals ― because we are not illegal. It has taken us years to be able to come out of the shadows, but today we are unafraid. We are unapologetic. We are undocumented.
Saying you are an illegal alien is not denying your humanity. But denying that you are illegal is denying the criminality of the illegal entry.
Laws that you don’t like don’t stop being laws because you don’t like when they pertain to you.
When you are “unapologetic” for your family breaking the law and don’t even see the problem behind it, don’t expect a lot of sympathy back.
