Dirty Debate Words: The I Word
12:04 pm By Maegan La Mala · Immigration|Politics|US Presidential Race 2008 · 2 Comments
3 Oct 2008If we were to make a list of the issues raised in last night’s Vice Presidential debate we would have:
health care
taxes
bailout
Iraq
Iran
Pakistan
Energy
gay marriage
Hmm what’s missing? Only the stories of countless people. Only what is whispered in the barrios: the fear, the constant watching of your back. What’s the word? Oh yeah, immigration.
VP Debate : You Learn Something New Everyday cuz Apparently Bosniak is a Real Term

3 Oct 2008During the VP debate last night, I was cracking up out loud at Dem VP candidate Joe Biden’s use of the term “Bosniak”.
Pero it seems that it is a real word and wasn’t a gaffe. According to Media Matters for America:
According to the U.S. State Department, as of 2002, the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina consisted of the following ethnic groups: “Bosniak 48.3%, Serb 34.0%, Croat 15.4%, others 2.3%.”The CIA World Factbook states: “Bosniak has replaced Muslim as an ethnic term in part to avoid confusion with the religious term Muslim — an adherent of Islam.”

Did you watch the debate last night? What did you think.

While everyone (myself included) VP debate drinking games, the U.S. federal government and ICE hope that their continued acts of terrorism against immigrant communities fly beneath the radar.
In a week’s time, ICE arrested 78 people in Pennsylvania and Delaware. The media is playing up the fact that some of those arrested had criminal records and in an effort to stir up fear, called an emergency meeting in the communities where the arrests happening.
The emergency of immigrant familias?
