Intelligence vs. Miami Dade County




Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami wants to ban the term "illegal alien" from any document in Florida.

"I personally find the word 'alien' offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children. An alien to me is someone from out of space."


"'Illegal,' I can live with, but I like 'undocumented' better."

I guess Mrs. Wilson never looked up the word alien in the dictionary, well I did and here it is care of www.m-w.com:

Main Entry: alien
Pronunciation: 'A-lE-&n, 'Al-y&n
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin alienus, from alius
1 a : belonging or relating to another person, place, or thing : STRANGE
b : relating, belonging, or owing allegiance to another country or government : FOREIGN
c : EXOTIC 2 : differing in nature or character typically to the point of incompatibility

alien
Function: noun
1 : a person of another family, race, or nation
2 : a foreign-born resident who has not been naturalized and is still a subject or citizen of a foreign country; broadly : a foreign-born citizen
3 : EXTRATERRESTRIAL
4 : EXOTIC

If people are from another place and/or nation they are alien. Then if they are here illegally, that would be without papers for those in Miami Dade county, they would be ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!
