Michelle Malkin comments on Geraldo Rivera's latest contribution to the "Illegal aliens? What Illegal aliens?" meme. Apparently, Geraldo refuses even to be outraged by an illegal alien repeat offending sex offender simply because he's an illegal alien. Is there no level too low for even Geraldo's aging knees to stoop?
Apparently, Geraldo suggested that Zina Linnik's uncle would prefer that we call her murderer a "Monster" rather than an "immigrant" (Geraldo conveniently left off the word ILLEGAL) because the Linnik family are themselves "immigrants."
OK, Geraldo, listen up, let me give you a lesson in vocabulary:
im-i-grant:
1. a person who migrates to another country, usually for permanent residence.
illegal im-i-grant:
1. a foreigner who has entered or resides in a country unlawfully or without the country's authorization.
2. a foreigner who enters the U.S. without an entry or immigrant visa, esp. a person who crosses the border by avoiding inspection or who overstays the period of time allowed as a visitor, tourist, or businessperson.
See the difference Geraldo? Zina's uncle sure does:
Zina's uncle was angry that the suspect had not been deported after being convicted in a sex crime."We are all immigrants, but we come legally," Kalchik said of his family. He added that the adults all cleared a criminal background check.
"If someone is a sex offender, or any kind of offender, he has no business being in America," he said.
Fine, well and good Geraldo, the guy is a monster, so explain to me again why America needs more "monsters?" Is there really a company called "Monsters Inc." and are they that desperate for employees?
[Insert eyeroll here]
