Halloween Costumes

We asked you about an illegal alien Halloween costume.


freedom of speeech, jeez people, can we not laugh about anything anymore. I thought the illegal alien is a hilarous costum. can we not be robbers at halloween anymore either , we wouldnt want to hurt any robbers feelings. these are criminals "illegal" alien, and we should not be worried if we are hurting there feelings during halloween. i think i'm going to be an illegal alien this year, i will make my own costum, even better,mabye my wife will be the border patrol agent hot!!!!! -- Brian

It's Halloween for cripes sakes, If I want to dress in an orange jumpsuit & carry a "green" card (or wear purple polka dots and penny loafers) I expect comedy relief and laugter. I honestly don't believe this holiday is not meant for for political introspection and all that other crap we have to listen to constantly. -- Laurie

see nothing wrong with the costume...people need to develop a sense of humor! -- Brian

Comdemining illegal alien costumes only reinforces the efforts of ethnic ascendancy groups to commandeer the media and override U.S. immigration law, further exacerbating America's population growth problem. These costumes were not explictly offensive in any way and opposition to their sales is a fabricated political effort to gain support for the legitimization of illegal immigration. Humorous commentary on illegal immigration has long been a facet of American humor and is harmless inits intent and effect. Hollywood's Men in Black movies are classic examples. -- Mike

people who do not see the humor in the target display online, are part of the problem. they cannot see anything wrong with an illegal or an alien either. -- David

I THINK THEY SHOULD REMOVE THE COSTUME B/C ITS DISRESPECTFUL TO PEOPLE SO THEY SHOULD TAKE IT OFF!! -- Arizabeth

It's only Halloween! The whole point of the night is to have fun and look like a goofball... Not to make political statements or provoke debate. Lighten up. -- Allan

The costume is ironic. If an alien from a foreign world were to come to this planet would we treat it the same as an alien from a foreign country? Although the green-card is a bit much. -- J.

I think people need to stop being so hypersensitive. Although I think that costume is a dumb idea, I don't think people should be so outraged. Hey, I'm Irish. So shouldn't I complain when they show a Leprechaun costume at St. Patrick's day? Or people talking in fake Irish accents? -- Ed

I think that the costume is not offensive. I believe that illegal aliens have enough rights in our country and now they are controlling what we can wear for a national holiday. i mean if your not suppose to be here in the first place. be proud you havent been deported, and laugh at it. -- Derreck

I think the Illegal Alien costume was perfectly acceptable. I believe it has more to do with recent alien movies than it does as a wise crack on any group of foreigners. Certain organizations are quick to jump the gun and assume it is an attack on them - but that is just their attention hungry assumption. -- Danny

This illegal alien costume is quite hilarious, it's a goofy costume and an expression. It's freedom of speech. People make fun of each other all the time, get over it. -- Joe

My opinion about the costume sold by Target, is that It's funny, and if people are offended, then it's their problem. -- Joanna

This is america regualrdless of how people feel about the costume this is a free nation. People see many things offensive what if i were to say jesus was offensive are we going to take religion away too. This is rediculous. We live in a nation where we are free to express ourselves why are we being opressed on our rights. -- Jeff

I think this costume is offensive and should be taken off the market for purchase -- Perla

Easy to say it's cool to joke about the illegal alien when you're white!  Let's do a concentration camp prisoner or a slave named Mandingo.  Think about the illegal alien the next time your yardwork is being done for pennies or eating the lettuce in your sandwich.  Let's have Jethro or Billy Bob working the field to pick spinach and we'll see how long that lasts before the cost of EVERYTHING goes up.  Aw, crap, I forgot that all of your ancestors were born right here in a teepee and everything.
Forgive me.
