If you spend any time on Twitter you’ll know that the most annoying troll is the spelling/grammar troll. But illegal alien advocates are looking to up the ante by annoying anyone who dares use the term, “illegal alien” anywhere in a tweet!
@DroptheIBot @Nativomexicano LOL- People are ILLEGAL if they're here ILLEGALLY! #moron

Yes it’s a whiny PC police-bot!!
These are what our Orwellian language overlords say about it:
In 2015, everyone from President Obama to actress Natalie Portman has gotten used to saying “undocumented immigrant” or “unauthorized immigrant” instead of the outdated and offensive phrase “illegal immigrant.” Publications like the Los Angeles Times and TheAssociated Press have asked their writers to not use the term “illegal immigrant” unless it is part of a quote. The Supreme Court has also opted for terms like “unauthorized aliens” and “unauthorized workers” because legal experts say that “illegal immigrant” is just not accurate.
So, in a modest effort to help America shed some of its historical baggage, we built a Twitter bot that replies to some of the people who tweet the words “illegal immigrant,” letting them know that in 2015, the preferred terms are “undocumented immigrant” or “unauthorized immigrant.” To avoid spamming people, the bot only runs once every ten minutes, and it never replies to the same user twice.
Except it’s not doing very well – most people just get pissed off! LOL!
