Supreme Court Judge Rules Term Illegal Alien Racist U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is the first Hispanic justice to hold the position. She was appointed there by President Obama, in what has been what the public has deemed a rags to riches story. Now , shes started arguing that the term illegal aliens is, in fact, and insult. Sotomayor deems the word demeaning, and claims that we should be using something more politically correct like undocumented immigrants. According to Sotomayor, while she is not arguing illegality, she doesnt like that the US is painting someone fleeing to find a better life as a monster. I think people then paint those individuals as something less than worthy human beings and it changes the conversation, she said. While Sotomayors comments are clearly designed to strengthen the support of the Democratic public, she is only set to lose what little support she has from Republicans. What do you think of Sotomayors comments?
