Civil Rights Group Wants Openly Offensive Halloween Costume Removed

How does an illegal alien Halloween costume get on a website "by mistake"? It is a question one might put to Target, the Minneapolis retailer that recently came under fire for its illegal alien costume being offered
 
 online for the Halloween season. According to NBC Los Angeles, Target spokesperson Joshua Thomas stated that the offending Illegal Alien Halloween costume was being removed after Target had received several complaints regarding it. Of course, it probably did not help that a civil rights group, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, also asked Target to remove the Illegal Alien Halloween costume from the website.

The Illegal Alien Adult Costume pictured on the website offers the description: "He didn't just cross a border, he crossed a galaxy! He's got his green card, but it's from another planet! Sure to get some laughs, the Illegal Alien Adult Costume includes an orange prison-style jumpsuit with 'Illegal Alien' printed on the front, an alien mask and a 'green card.'"

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

The only people it should be offensive to are the ILLEGALS!

People need to regain their sense of humor that was so prevalent a few decades ago instead of wearing their emotions on their sleeve.

Target took it off the shelves and off their website.  I bet they're selling on eBay for tons-o-cash right now.

Geez, fer crying out loud!  Search for "illegal alien" on eBay and even that innocuous phrase brings up a bunch of porn.

Laughed when I saw it. We've got to start telling the humorless buisybodies to pound salt.
