So, it's not incendiary to our Irish population? Or Lithuanians? Germans? Canadians? Or any other group of immigrants legal or otherwise? Why just Hispanics?
He's there to help Hillary get elected, it's all a sham, paid for
by the Koch Brothers and their globalist corporate friends,
such as Paul Singer. Gary Johnson's platform is anti-American.
He wants global corporations to escape taxes, is for no protection
against loss of jobs offshore, and wants open borders and no law
enforcement against the flow of drugs, guns, and criminals
into this country. He deserves nothing but our deepest resentment.
People entering the US without authorization are illegal aliens and they need their butts carted out of illegal status to legal in their country of origin. Too simple. Geesh, as an uneducated Trump supporter, I get it!
So if no human could be an "illegal" alien than no person could be a legal immigrant, because a person can't be legal. Right? Bunch of nonsense.
Call them what you may, just get them out of my pocket for good!
I'll buy the anti "illegal" argument using the dictionary definition of the word, and although I support Johnson I'm not a fan of everything he says.
I propose a new word to describe these folks in question. "Foreign invaders" thats what they are. There, no word play games, but to be honest I find this more offensive and pointed than illegal, but you know the old saying, careful what you ask for.

1. It was just last year that some were taking offense to the term "alien". Only illegal immigration activists have the luxury of complaining to a nation that is continually absorbing illegals, about what that nation CALLS those illegals. Those who immigrate here legally are referred to as legal aliens. Re: any frustrations or distaste they have for the process - those who are doing it legally suck it up and keep quiet because they don't want to do or say ANYTHING that will slow the process down. Trust me. I know.
Travel across the state again for another interview? Sure. Get fingerprints taken again because the first set got lost? Sure. Send more money even though you don't really know what its for? Sure. Fill out another piece of paper? Sure. Get put on hold for three hours? Sure. No problem. Ask me how much I care that those who "live in the shadows" (who increasingly don't live in the shadows) and their hurt feelings?
The word "illegal" should not automatically come before immigrant, as we have many immigrants that got into this country legally. 50% of the people in NM are Hispanic a great many of them went through the legal process. That's why he doesn't want people to just assume immigrant=illegal. It bothers him when any group is unfairly attacked, as Libertarians are for the 100 % equally. He tries to reach all demographics. He cares about you, as much as anyone else. Best wishes.

Sounds like RINO meets far left liberal lilly, just another typical pandering politician trolling for votes/trying to reach a demographic.
In addition......doesn't he sound racist to equate illegal alien to only hispanics? No illegal alien asians? caucasians? Doesn't he think the term illegal alien is "incendiary" to any human being....hispanics share some special trait with illegal?
Nah, just assume illegal alien = hispanic I guess.
Sorry you got most of this wrong. Gary Johnson is a very serious candidate, he wants to help everyone if Congress will agree. Apparently you are for Trump, as you say he'd help Hillary get elected. Funny that Hillary supporters fear he'd help Trump get elected.
He wants American corporations to escape taxes, so they don't move to another country. He figures this would create many millions of new jobs.
He wants semi-open borders, requirements to get in & has not said he wants to abolish the Border Patrol. He has said he doesn't want criminals or terrorists coming in.
While he is in favor of legal cannabis ("marijuana"), this would be grown in US, again creating many jobs.

Gary Johnson was governor of a state that is 50% Hispanic. Imagine half the population being under extreme investigation to find a few violators.

The "It just is" answer may have been due to time limit on that question or entire interview. I have a detailed explanation of why Gary Johnson thinks illegal & Hispanic don't always go together, if you keep reading this thread.
Gary Johnson & Hillary Clinton are close to polar opposites: Hillary takes big money from corporations, then owes them big favors that will cost the taxpayers. Gary Johnson gets small contributions mostly and says any group or individual is important. The Libertarian Party is for the 100% equally, including you.
Hillary Clinton wants to expand the size of US gov't & Gary Johnson wants smaller Federal gov't.
Hillary Clinton wants many wars; Gary Johnson doesn't.
Gary Johnson wants to re-legalize cannabis: Hillary Clinton favors continued punishment of harmless.
They don't sound like identical issues platforms to me!

Perhaps he was wasted during the interview, I don't know.
But I do know this.....clinton voters are paying attention to this kind of talk and might come over more and more and vote for johnson. Sounds like he and her are exactly on the same page in all of this pc gone nuts talk.
