''Illegal Alien" Halloween costume sparks ire

A Southern California immigrant rights group has asked Target stores to stop selling an "illegal alien" Halloween costume it says is offensive to immigrants.

It would have been the very best costume ever! LMAO!
Oh ugh we weren't going to sell it really. It was on the website by mistake, says Target.
What sissy's! They should have sold it for the economy.
It isn't distasteful just a reality here in CA.. Funny!

hahaha.. If you are not illegal why get offended? and if you are illegal shouldn't you either go back to your countries or just put up with it?

[Loolie]

Now I know what I'm gonna be for Halloween! Thank you, Jesus!(And I don't mean Jesus Christ!)

Your right, I am going to dress in Minstrel dress, if you are not a minstrel you shouldn't be offended.

I don't think the illegal aliens would mind if those costumes are sold as long as they also make costumes for other races. For example white man sitting on a curb picking his nose and asking for money etc.

How is it distasteful? Alien face mask? With a tag that says illegal alien? That's funny. These civil rights groups have been really ridiculous lately with their charges.

It's not like the face mask was of an ethnic immigrant right?

Way to ALIENate your shoppers target!

We need to put all the illegals in that UFO balloon and send them up in the Santa Ana winds, south.

[Uncle_vito]

I give this costume 2 thumbs up.

I just hope they don't ban the original illegal alien costume.

Did someone get their feelings hurt? Just laugh it's funny!
Target will be losing out when they see how many people will make their own illegal alien costume's.

Sorry, but the group mentioned in the article isn't an "immigrant's rights" group. By definition, and their actions, this group is a "pro-crime" group dedicated to breaking the laws of our nation. When someone enters our country illegally, they aren't "immigrants" but criminals. I, and many other Americans (including legal residents) are supporters of rights for Legal Immigrants, we just oppose "rights" for illegals.

[Juan Garcia]

ooops!
My bad it is costumes! Don't know what I was thinking!

I've lived North of Live Oak Av. for 40 years and every year truck loads of so-called 'Trick & Treaters" have come from "South" on Santa Anita Av. wearing these costumes and yelling 'gimme candy'. So what else is new.

[Dagney Taggart]

For an objectivist hero you're coming off kinda whiney.

What "race" is an illegal alien?.

[Jack Klompus]

That is the best costume of all time. I hate political correctness.

[bigotry is a hoot]

I can't decide between drunken leprechaun or superfly pimp.

There are so many stupid costumes out their, Halloween is suppose to be scary, like vampires,witches,devils,etc... not all other dumb costumes like hanna montana,fairys, cartoon charactors, raggady ann and all others that are not associated with horror
