The Associated Press, the largest news-gathering outlet in the world, will no longer use the term "illegal immigrant."

The news came in the form of a blog entry authored by Senior Vice President and Executive Editor Kathleen Carroll on Tuesday afternoon, explaining that the decision is part of the company's on-going attempt to rid their Stylebook of labels.

"The Stylebook no longer sanctions the term 'illegal immigrant' or the use of 'illegal' to describe a person. Instead, it tells users that 'illegal' should describe only an action, such as living in or immigrating to a country illegally," Carroll wrote.

I don't think the right is targeting them as criminals.

I had a good Isreali friend who over stayed and was eventually deported.

I also knew a lady, who had a British boy friend he was deported.

And unlike Hispanics, who only come up for deportation, when they are snagged in some other police action, traffic citation ect... In both of these cases, the INS showed up at their house and whisked them away.

It happens every day, there's just no body speaking about the "injustice", because there was no bloody injustice. They were "Illegal Aliens" at that point.

There do you feel better now?

I said the right isn't targeting them as criminals. Same reason they aren't building the "dang fence" along our Canadian border, or arresting people in Minnesota who "look Canadian" like the Arizona ass-clowns do.

It's all about the ethnicity of the undocumented worker. Anecdotes aside, I've seen statistics estimating 1/4 of all undocumented workers are non-Hispanic. Even Hispanics arrive by plane, so what is to be done about them?

When was the last time Canadians took jobs that Liberals claimed nobody wanted?

Blacks have suffered higher unemployment than any other racial group

It's hard to get people in the employment lines, when you have a Government telling you, that you are incapable of succeeding on your own, and the check is in the mail. The black people that do get ahead, don't buy into the White Liberal bullshit. Well they would, but they get to wear the laurels in their hair, and you dig the damn ditch, and collect welfare.

Human smuggling and trafficking big business in Canada
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/03/28/f-human-smuggling-overview.html

Although it's not yet clear whether the March 27 fatal capsizing of a yacht off the coast of Nova Scotia was a failed attempt to smuggle illegal immigrants into Canada, there is no doubt that human smuggling is a booming business and Canada a favoured destination for migrants and refugees of all kinds.

While most arrive in Canada legally, there are others who try to take shortcuts around the country's immigration system using human smugglers.

The United Nations estimates that human smuggling is currently one of the most profitable criminal activities worldwide.

Who's being smuggled

Some of the people affected by Canada's legislative changes are refugee claimants who, out of fear of persecution or desperation for a better life, pay smugglers to get them to Canada's shores. Others are people who may not be able to get passage to Canada legally and instead decide to take their chances with smugglers.

Mexican drug gangs compete for bounty from human trafficking

The immigration issue in Mexico has come to a boil as drug gangs prey on migrants.

http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/americas/mexico/110529/immigration-human-trafficking-drug-gangs

On a southern highway, Mexican police busted a record 513 foreign migrants crammed into two tractor trailers.

Across the country, Mexican soldiers rescued 180 migrants who were held for ransom. In a detention center, arrested migrants broke into a riot over poor conditions.

Mexico has long been a trampoline for migrants from around the world trying to bounce over the Rio Grande into the United States. Now Mexico's drug gangs have become increasingly involved in the human trafficking business while the nation's prisons and police are under increased pressure from the crime wave. Amid these conditions, the migrant issue has come to a boil in Mexico.

“Everyone round the world knows that Mexico is the back door into the United States. That causes a lot of problems here and now we are seeing those problems come to a head,” said a high-ranking official at Mexico’s National Immigration Institute, who asked his name not be used in case of repercussions from superiors.

Immigration officials estimate that more than 300,000 undocumented foreigners pour through Mexico each year to try to sneak over the southern U.S. border.

Most are from the Central American nations of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, but there are migrants from all corners of the globe, including China, Iraq, Nigeria, Cuba and India.

The majority of travelers pay human smugglers to guide them through Mexico and into the United States, where many have family members and jobs waiting.

Those arrested in the two tractor trailers, which were busted in Chiapas state on May 17, said they each paid $7,000 for the ride in life-threatening conditions.

This generates an enormous human trafficking business, estimated to be worth more than $2 billion each year to Mexican gangs.

Two officers in the southern state of Chiapas are accused of pimping Central American migrants out as prostitutes. Another six officers in the state of Tamaulipas, which borders Texas, are accused of selling migrants to drug cartels for $430 a victim.

“The immigration institute is so corrupt it is like a rotting corpse,” said migrant activist and Roman Catholic priest Alejandro Solalinde.

Drug cartels then hold migrants they can capture as hostages in safe houses until they extort $1,000 to $5,000 from their family members in the United States or back in their homelands.

Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission says last year there were a stunning 20,000 such kidnappings.

the "ass clowns" in Arizona are rightly so to stop the human smuggling that is enriching the dangerous criminal gangs in Mexico. to go against building the fence is being part of such criminal activity if not encouraging it.

show me a 50 foot fence, I'll show you a 51 foot ladder.

over half the illegal mexicans fly in and overstay their visa.

and not one word about the human trafficking... i am disappointed in you !

such hero and voice of the common man, turns his head and ignores

modern day slavery. I just doesnt exist.

robertoaribas says

yeah, cause pointing out the futility of a fence definitely means I'm in favor of human trafficking. good logic!

there is no futility in knowing a wall exist and its unclimbable .. seeing on TV or a picture a wall to those who want to cross. it would be a big deterrent to many.

robertoaribas says

Of course I'm in favor of a comprehensive immigration reform, and policies that end illegal trafficking.

there is no problem with our immigration policies and process. it is sound and it works.

what are you going to tell the many who are standing in line.. Your going to have to wait ... we have some people who get preferential treatment who never applied, received approval or paid their fees. Your wait is extended another year or two.

trafficking.. you couldnt care less!

robertoaribas says

Also, I'm in favor of legalizing all drugs, to end their illegal trade and profit for criminals.

I am not favor of legalizing as are many others ... im sure we still have some drones we can fly over with some napalm bombs which can cure our problem.
