111. You made a simple request, that deserves a response.

No.

I will not stop using the terms "illegal aliens", "illegal immigrants" (although I doubt that most actually wish to immigrate) "illegal workers" or simply "illegals".

I don't care about the sensibilities of those who work here illegally. I care about the livelihoods of the legal workers they displace.

And yes, I deny that my beliefs about immigration are based on racism. I don't presume to speak for anyone else, but I find that ad-hominem to be intellectually lazy.

If your goal is to solve the problem that "Our labor - our time, our work, our creativity - is all for sale." - good luck with that. In this world, they are.
