She was right, you are wrong.
"Migrant "immigrant" to the right is the same thing, the same fucking thing it was to bigoted Americans who feared the Chinese who helped build the railroads in the 1800s. "migrant" "immigrant" was the same fear Americans had with the Irish and Italians in the early 1900s.
If you suddenly stopped using the Fox News slur "immigrant" and said "migrant" those assholes would still find a way to use "otherism" to get ratings.
And it still would not change that they work their asses off, with or without papers.
I didn’t say she was wrong, mate. I said her comment was stupid.
‘Immigrant’ is not a slur. ‘Illegal immigrant’ probably is, though. And you’ve never seen me use either term in a derogatory manner.
I agree these people work hard. Brutally hard. Body-destroyingly hard. Did I give the impression that I felt otherwise? Whatever these people are being paid, it isn’t enough, not by a damned sight.

I don't know in my life how many responses on any subject that I agreed with I'd call "stupid".
If she was right I would hardly call it stupid.
The only difference between Democrats and Republicans in congress, is that most democrats are willing to admit they don't want to do her work, and or can't do their work, and most Republicans simply want to deny they cant or wont, and even if they could do it, simply don't care and want the votes of asshole bigots.
