Todd Talk | Illegal Means Illegal—Words Won’t Change Reality
A 60-second conservative commentary with humor and heart.
My friends, on March 19th, Loyola University Chicago student Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed.
The Department of Homeland Security says the suspect, Jose Medina Medina, is a Venezuelan criminal illegal alien.
The school newspaper published a story, then apologized for using the term “illegal immigrant,” claiming it caused “harm” to “community members.”
Associated Press guidelines say “illegal” should describe an action, not a person - that’s where “no human is illegal” comes from.
But let me be clear for the thick skulls among us: you are living in a state of constant illegality when you are in a country illegally.
And while the Left argues about words, a family is grieving their 18-year-old daughter, who was here legally and whose life was illegally taken by someone who wasn’t.
If anyone deserves an apology, it’s her family.
