Illegal Alien Costumes

Heh.

The “Illegal Alien Adult Costume,” manufactured by Forum novelties, includes an orange jumpsuit, similar to prison garb, with “Illegal Alien” stamped in black across the chest; a space alien mask; and a fake Green Card. The “Illegal Alien Mask with Hat” also includes a space alien mask, this time with a dark handlebar mustache and a baseball cap.

The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles said it began receiving e-mails from concerned legal immigrants on Friday. In response, CHIRLA wrote a letter asking several retailers, including Target, Walgreens, and Amazon.com, to stop offering the costume.

  2. So let me get this straight: dressing as a pimp, a whore, a pregnant nun, and so on is fine, but dressing as a creature from another planet in prison garb is offensive to people legally in this country.

    Okay, I got it.

  3. Hey now, Mr. PP, in fairness, most of the female population between 18 and 29 does Halloween in a whore costume regardless of what the packaging states the costume is.
