"I have a lot of illegal immigrant friends," said Iglesias. "If I showed them that costume, it would really hurt them."

I have a lot of criminal friends, if I pointed out they were crimials it would make them feel bad. I hope hes not friends with child molesters.

A few things:

Your link is bad (corrected above).

It seems nobody would have a problem with the costume except for the inclusion of a fake Green card--a pretty minor accessory. Just remove the fake Green card and problem solved!

The costume is only being self-banned at Target and the chain is now backpedaling to claim it was being sold only due to a "data error." That's what you get for shopping at Target in the first place.

Although the USA needs to enforce its immigration laws, William Gheen and the "Americans for Legal Immigration" are a bunch of fear-mongering tools. You can encourage small-town law enforcement to detain all the illegal immigrants they can find, but where's the money coming from to cover the enormous expense of deporting them? Aren't these are the same wingnuts protesting at tea parties because they don't want to pay tax to begin with? Uh-huh, uh-huh.
