Twitter bot 'corrects' people who say/type 'illegal immigrant'
The Twitter bot that 'corrects' people who say 'illegal immigrant'


Two American journalists have created a Twitter bot that "corrects" people who tweet the term "illegal immigrant", and offers alternatives. But not everyone appreciates the suggestion.

The "I" word has been called into question in recent years. Defining any human being as "illegal" is considered offensive by some, who think the term should be reconsidered.

That's why Patrick Hogan and Jorge Rivas, journalists at Fusion.net, created a Twitter bot - a computer programme to compose and publish tweets automatically - to "correct" people who use the term on the social network.

Twitter users who include the phrase in any context may receive a message from the bot reading: "People aren't illegal. Try saying "undocumented immigrant" or "unauthorized immigrant" instead."

Re: Twitter bot 'corrects' people who say/type 'illegal immigrant'
Holy fuck. And those two idiots dare call themselves journalists? They want to kill self expression and free speech with some autobot autocorrect that does not take into account context, details, facts or case-by-case issues?

Wow. Fusion.net sounds like one vile place to avoid.

Liberals hate truth, logic and reasoning. That's why they are called useful idiots.
The Right Policy is Always Conservative

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President." - Vaclav Klaus

Yes, but these people "identify" as legal. They
"feel" legal to themselves. Shouldn't we treat them how they "feel" ?

Like bank robbers who identify as wealthy oil tycoons. They should be allowed to take that money without our judgement so they can feel rich. Its racist to make them earn it.

Jay Severin, the beck guy who spent all his life in politics getting folks elected, coined the phrase "ciminaliens" and that probably will pass twitter bots.

That is why I never use politically correct words like illegal alien. I prefer to call them Wops and wetbacks. Let's get back to the English language and use all the colorful words that have definitions.

Why does Mexico have tougher immigration laws than the US, but our laws are the problem? Fuck libs and fuck illegals. I have no problem with legal immigrants from anywhere.
