@jakesheridan_: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson shot back at a reporter who used the term “illegal aliens” in a question Friday, calling the term, “nasty, racist” at a press conference I attended after a congressional field hearing aimed at drawing attention to the ramped up deportations conducted by President Donald Trump’s administration in the city. Some more context: A reporter used the term while asking if the mayor had responded to a federal request for analysis on migrant spending; Johnson said this, then highlighted his progressive agenda to spend city money on Chicagoans. #chicago #news #immigration #ice #brandonjohnson
“Aliens” and “slaves” are extremely dehumanizing terms. That reporter needs to do more research before speaking.

100%. As an Australian I've never understood how an entire country has normalised calling people 'aliens'. Brainwashed craziness.

People are never illegal.
Acts can be illegal. To be human in the USA is not a crime.
