Just had my mind blown….

First, let me say that I know meanings of words change over a period of time, but this one… OH HELL NO, this is just ANOTHER racist tactic imbedded in society.

So the word illegal, in the English language, originally refered to inanimate objects and actions… now it [also] refers to a group of humans (illegal immigrants), thus dehumanizing this group of people. When in fact, they are not illegal… their actions, which got them into the country were illegal, but they are not. They are undocumented. How can you be an illegal human… somehow counterfeit or not real? 

How did this one slip right by me?! I vow to never use the words illegal and immigrant in relation to one another.

Let’s start a movement and give back the human quality these immigrants possess.

Please tell me, notjustmythoughts.
