Arizona Judge Requiring Bans Term “Illegal Immigrant” From Court Documents
Not because it’s not accurate, but because calling illegal immigrants illegal immigrants hurts their feelings or something.
Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor stirred up a hornet’s nest by endorsing a demand from the Hispanic Bar Association to censor words and phrases such as “illegal aliens” and “illegal immigrants” and substitute “foreign nationals” in court documents.
Then, when a blog at Judicial Watch reported on the instructions, court officials threatened to sue the government-watchdog organization, prompting its release of a statement defending the story.
Ridiculous.
Next they’ll be requiring that drug dealers be called unlicensed pharmacists and that rapists be called non-approved lovers.
