A person who drives a car is called a "driver."

A driver who drives 1 mile over the speed limit is committing an illegal act.

Therefore, drivers who speed are called "illegal drivers."

See how ridiculous that sounds? And not even talking about how dehumanizing "alien" is. https://twitter.com/FAIRImmigration/status/1338302689415888904
But we know the real reason you thought it necessary to tweet this.

Because your advocacy requires dehumanizing language.

You'll never call them future citizens, or aspiring Americans. Then people might realize that immigration status can be fixed with the stroke of a pen.
You have to make people believe something is being stolen from them. You need an enemy.

Every term you use and policy you push is designed for one thing: keeping people out of this country.

We know where you came from: the racist fears of a eugenicist doctor.
It''s all very deliberate. FAIR's meeting minutes and voluminous writings spanning 4 decades show an obsession with terminology and how to amplify it.

That's why the group's founder, Dr.
Tanton, created relationships with other white supremacists like @peterbrimelow of @vdare.
That's why Tanton founded the Social Contract Press, where racists could convene to share, hone, and amplify their hate. They still meet at the yearly Writers Workshop, where crazies like @AnnCoulter are invited to teach the foul art of hatespewing.
Why would FAIR, which has tried unsuccessfully to distance itself from Tanton and his noxious ideology, still feel the need to amplify Tanton's thought?

Because his thought is in their DNA.

What was the result? Exhibit A: Stephen Miller.
In her groundbreaking book "Hatemonger" journalist @jeanguerre explains how Tanton's thought wound up driving Stephen Miller's cruel agenda against immigrants.

Note: Miller used the same terminology we see our friends at FAIR use. (illegal, anchor baby, etc)
So this tweet isn't random. It's the result of 40+ years of usurping immigration discourse to prevent us from building a humane, prosperous immigration system.

They're trying to tell you how to think.
