The Controversy Around the Illegal Alien Costumes For Adults

Over the last few months there has been a lot of controversy around a certain costume. This outfit comes in an orange jumper, rubber alien mask and the words written across the chest, "Illegal Alien". It leads some to think that the costume is inappropriate and hurtful to immigrants who live in the USA. Many of the larger retailers like Target, Wal-Mart and others have been asked to take the costumes from their shelves. Target complied and removed it from its shelves immediately.

Other retailers are riding the market and are completely sold out. They can't keep the costume on the shelves. They are selling them so fast that they are refusing to listen to the organizations that are calling for all retailers to drop them from their store shelves and websites.

I have been writing for a long time. I am of Latin descent and have watched this controversy grow. CNN, Fox and all the big news agencies are covering the progression of this story. Yet I find it kind of comical that so much emphasis and effort is being put on a costume.

I believe it is more of a marketing ploy to sell a really inexpensive costume for a lot more money than it is worth. I personally do not find it offending. I see it as a marketing strategy to take advantage of a very hot topic.

I really don't believe the intent of all the people buying this costume are to poke fun of immigrants. I believe many just think it is funny or a good conversation piece for a Halloween party. I believe as a society, we have become too sensitive to the world around us.

We focus too much on the bad and not on the good. If the media never picked up this story, this costume would have been just like any other controversial costume. It would have had its time and then disappeared from the store shelves forever. Yet now this will not be the case. This costume will probably be one of the top-selling costumes of the year.

I usually only write articles that are general in nature and I tend to stay away from the more controversial subjects. I do not like to offend people. Yet, this topic was a little too much for me not to touch. As I found it fascinating to see how a simple costume could take the focus away from a failing economy, job loss and our housing crises.

It is a shame a thing like national pride, a hard day's work, carrying for the family and educating our young don't get the same attention. A piece of orange plastic and a mask seems to have more importance in our society. I truly hope that the attention on this mask dies down and we truly see it for what it is a mask that pokes a bit of fun at a current event.

Health Care For Illegal Aliens - Is it an Inalienable Right?

At a time when health care reform is causing a controversial debate, an anti-immigration group, The Federation for American Immigration Reform, correctly points out that illegal aliens could participate in the proposed national health insurance exchange.

This insurance exchange compares health insurance plans and informs everyone which is the most economical for them with the features that are most desired by them. In many ways it is comparable to Progressive for Car insurance. Included in the cost and feature comparison would be the new government-run plan, instituted to compete with the private sector.

It is interesting to note that illegal immigrants would be paying for their own insurance albeit the public plans just like everyone else according to Politifact.com. That is really no different than what is currently in place where illegal aliens can purchase private insurance. The difference is that aliens would not get the "premium credits" which are supposedly in place to compete with and lower the current private insurance policies.

Same Problem-Different Place
Immigrants are similarly censured in other nations. Illegal immigrants in European Union countries have been denied access to publicly funded health care and the care is limited to trauma, emergencies or conditions that pose a risk to those around them.

Article 35 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (2000) identifies everyone 's right to preventative health care and the right to medical treatment but certain limitations were placed on this according to nationality and migration status.

In Great Britain, aliens are not charged for hospital care including emergency room visits or admissions to the hospital. However, inpatient or outpatient treatment can be charged to the nonresident with the exception of a communicable disease.

In Spain, only obstetrics, and emergency room visits as well as admissions are available to all, in concurrence with international human rights treaties. Since January 2000 with the passing of Organic Law #8, illegal immigrants are fully entitled to the same health care as citizens as long as they register. Unregistered aliens are covered if they are minors under 18.

The Italian National Health Plan provides universal coverage for everyone, free of charge, functioning under the tenet of human dignity (i.e. health care is a right for everyone in need) Illegal immigrants here may enjoy the same rights if they fill out a governmental form denying sufficient financial resources.

In the Netherlands, healthcare need is determined to be urgent or needed by the healthcare provider. Discriminatory attitudes may subconsciously influence the inability to then have access to health care.

While the whole issue is controversial and the debate is heated here in the United States, you must ask to consider the following scenarios. Should aliens who have an extreme infection be allowed to suffer and die for wont of money to seek medical treatment? Wouldn't that put ordinary citizens at risk from exposure and contagion? In the European Union countries

Could you ignore someone on the street with fractures or in serious pain just because you are afraid they are vying for the same tax dollars to pay for medical care?

As long as people are allowed to stay within our borders, we must maintain our "humanness" and civility for without it, we are a doomed society and reverting to animal status.
