Jose Antonio Vargas is mad, you guys. See, the illegal alien writer and activist heard it through the grapevine that MSNBC is still using a dirty word:
@joseiswriting @CNN @DefineAmerican @donlemon great good reason to change the channel to CNN @hardball they continue to use "illegal aliens"

Wait, what: @msnbc is using "illegal" to refer to people? #nohumanbeingisillegal #immigration @DefineAmerican

Oh no, not that!

That’s because there isn’t one. If you immigrated here illegally, you are an illegal immigrant. Sorry, Jose, but them’s the breaks.
@redsteeze Looking forward to the media accurately referring to @joseiswriting as "deported." @msnbc
