“Illegal Alien” Halloween Costume Sparks Ire

Ironically, I am offended by this costume as well, but not because it is “mean spirited” or distasteful” toward Hispanics!

I am offended by the fact that it is unfair to extraterrestrials, who do not drunkenly fly their spaceships into American taxpayers and kill them, rape children, or arrogantly demand citizenship as their intergalactic “rights.”

As always, God help us all!

If you throw a rock into a pack of dogs the one that yelps the loudest is the one that got hit. Looks like this gag is uncovering some truth which the manufacturers most likely never even intended.

That’s ok. They can be offended. Illegal Hispanics (and others) offend ME. I’m tired of paying for them.

Will target in Australia be stocking these. We also need them as we are currently being flooded with illegals from Sri Lanka who are invited here by our socialist government.

The irony is that this costume implies than an “alien” is only someone not of this planet and not, say, a foreigner hostile to our culture and language. I guess nuances are lost on some.

“distasteful, mean-spirited, and ignorant of social stigmas”

Oh yes, we must enforce those “social stigmas” at all costs! If we don’t enforce them ruthlessly, then how on earth will they remain social stigmas!?

Obviously this costume is a joke and has nothing to do whatsoever with the TRUE illegal aliens menacing this country. But since the immigration hustlers want to ban the very term “illegal alien,” they CAN’T ALLOW a costume that makes light of that term!!!

Another example of how the only ones who have a true voice in the illegal immigration debate are the illegals themselves, and their advocates.

I love that outfit. Best laugh I’ve had all day. I of course don’t care at all that it is found offensive by law breakers.

From now on I am officially designating myself on all government forms as an “Other.” As an Other, I demand very special rights as there are few people like me around! I am tired of being different, unwanted, not succeeding, not looking like a supermodel, and not being popular. All people richer than me need to give me money, subsidized housing and social services because I feel very disadvantaged, and my ancestors were disadvantaged too. Thanks.

I’d say anybody who wears that costume while trick or treating is probably trying to get beer instead of candy.

Hey, I just bought one of these costumes! Except my alien has a sombrero and a mustache.

I would love to halloween with this outfit.

That said, I realize I can’t. In my part of Texas, the county mounties shoot first and ask questions later of people in orange jumpsuits. They think you have escaped from the county jail.

Now that is somebody who has lived around illegals and has an intimate knowledge of them. Drunk driving and raping 12 to 14 year old girls is their cutural pastime..well that and soccer.

And Target has already agreed to remove the costume from it’s shelves which doesn’t surprise because I know that Target is a very all inclusive, multicultural, diversity first company. I worked there part-time several years ago and they tolerate everybody, except for politically incorrect Halloween costumes.

The funny part of this story is the illegal aliens don’t look latino at all! There must be a part of this term they find demeaning. To solve this I reccomend they return to their homeland and stop accepting freebies from the U S taxpayers.
Problem solved!!

Someone thought that they were making a PC point by implying that only Extraterrestrials could be termed “aliens.” Also, they hoped to point out that no one is illegal, a comment I have heard from groups like La Raza in the past. It backfired. Some people just don’t get it, I guess.

And that is the joke.

I was kind of hoping the costume would have a striped shirt and a baseball cap, five little aliens trailing the female version.

This costume isn’t offensive to immigrants. It’s offensive to ILLEGAL ALIENS.

I think the costume is pretty cool, actually!

besides, since it depicts an extraterrstrial kind of «alien», then it implies nothing about Latino immigrants, legal or illegal.

I think those concerned Hispanics should cool it!

I wonder if they will be offended enough to go home.

That’s some funny stuff. I am an American from Hispanic (Cuban) parents. I will wear that outfit on Hallowen and I do not care who I offend. Everyone in this country are from immgrants but individuals wanting to come here need to go through the proper channels to become a legal citizens. Learn the language English it is the universal language so learn it my parents did, and readers don’t say well his parents are from Cuba so it was easier for them to get into the country! Wrong the lived in Europe for years before coming to USA but had to follow the chain of commands and gain promise to come here legal. So any Hispanic that is offended then go back to your country if you do not like the American way!!!

It’s a visual pun, that’s all. No harm intended.

To be honest, when I first saw it, I thought of the Phil Collins song LOL.

“The irony is that this costume implies than an “alien” is only someone not of this planet and not, say, a foreigner hostile to our culture and language.”

That’a a good point. The costume would be amusing but what I DON’T like about it is the suggestion that “aliens” are exterrestrial creatures, something that is entirely erroneous, but a notion which some interested parties want to push. I have hear them say, “We’re not aliens, we’re humans!”

The word is being intentionally deformed into another meaning. An alien is simply someone foreign, not a creature from outer space.
