| A Southern California immigrant rights group has asked Target stores to stop selling an "illegal alien" Halloween costume it says is offensive to immigrants. The costume, posted on Target's web site, features the mask of an alien with a green card and an orange jumpsuit with "illegal alien" written across the front. Target spokesman Joshua Thomas says the company is removing the costume from the site after receiving several complaints. He says the store never intended to sell the outfit but included it in its online offerings by mistake. Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, says she wrote an e-mail to the Minneapolis-based retailer Friday calling the costume "distasteful, mean-spirited, and ignorant of social stigmas and current debate on immigration reform." |

Bagay na outfit ito sa mga Congressmen, Senators and members of the Executive ito! Palitan lang yun "Illegal Alien" tag and instead ay "Corrupt Politico." Kulang na lang sa costume na yan ay nunal.
