re: #56 Cato the Elder

For the record, I am against calling human beings “aliens”. Talk about dehumanization!

Call them immigrants, legal or illegal. Don’t try to jerk my feelings around by making me think of things with gills, fins, hyperbaric breathing chambers or big, alligator-toothed mouths with smaller mouths that stick out and suck your blood when you’re angry.

We might as well talk about “illegal vampires”.
