Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are "vulnerable," "entitlement," "diversity," "transgender," "fetus," "evidence-based" and "science-based."

    1. They are illegal. (our law says so)

    Over-staying your visa isn't even a crime [procon.org] and entering the US illegally is just a misdemeanor.
    And visa over-stays make up more than half of the total number of "illegal immigrants."? [washingtontimes.com]

    So, unless you've been going around calling jaywalkers "illegal citizens" you are just a damn hypocrite.

    Misdemeanors are illegal acts, you stupid fuck. You take the fact that a misdemeanor is LESS OF an illegal act than something like first degree murder, then try to make that less illegal act into legal? You are one STUPID motherfucker. Illegal aliens are breaking the law - THAT is what makes them "illegal aliens".

      And jaywalking is a misdemeanor. But you go ahead and spazz out all you want. Temper tantrums are the best way to prove U R the smartest person in the room.
