What does the "A" stand for in ACLU?

Question

Okay, so now that you've answered that question, why does the ACLU get involved with the issue of 'Day Workers' when most of them are not 'American'? Does the "A" now stand for 'Alien'?

@Samantha: I think that you've got me wrong. I am a full blooded, American born American.

Answer 1

unfortunately, just because the A stands for American does not mean that's the only thing they do. Their liberal nonsense also extends to immigrants (who, for the record, are clearly breaking the law by being in our country in the first place). If there's an issue from which they can make controversy, they do it.

They also support NAMBLA, but not the Right to bear arms, so what does that tell you?!

Sad but true...

Answer 2

The American Civil Liberties Union stand for justice. It stands against injustice. If day workers, regardless of whether they are citizens or not can be cheated, then this cheating can go on into the citizen area. the law must stand equal for all. It cannot be selective. Perhaps you feel, as many do, that aliens have no business coming to the US and working. That is a positive point. But as long as the government allows business ownsers to pay low wages to those epople, then they will be hired. Once hired, because they are aliens, they are in line for cheating.

So lets get them out. Then kids will do the work (Maybe) and sooner or later, because they are kids, they will be chested as well.
By the way, the ACLU takes up the cases of many people and groups who could otherwise never get justice. One cannot be selective about who they represent for they represent the law and seek justive for those who cannot obtain it for themselves. Many of us are safe from some serious situations because the ACLU took on the government, polluters, insurance companies - the big bad boys who would otherwise run roughshod over the common man.

Answer 3

You know that the A in ACLU stands for American ... and just because the Day Workers are mostly NOT American does NOT make them 'ineligible' for the free legal representation of that group, since the CASE is being heard in an AMERICAN courtroom. This is also a very 'American' case, since the outcome will say something about how 'aliens' are treated when they come to work/live/be tourists in the U.S.A.

Answer 4

It stands for American ...

and ACLU stands for "American Criminal Liberties Union."

It's the liberals who harbor and foster hatred for traditional American values ... they're the ones who want activist judges to bastardize our Constitution and impinge even further on our individual freedoms.

Some of you might want to read our founding documents, as well as learn some US history.

Answer 7

and it doesn't now stand for Alien, but aliens in the US are still American issues.

Answer 8

American, unlike the Republicans who only want free speech they agree with. Against the war? You're un-American!

Answer 9

It stands for "American". ACLU is the American Civil Liberties Union. It is the primary defender of the US Constitution and American freedoms and protector of American values.

What is it about the US Constitition and American freedoms that you and the other Republicans dislike so much? And if you hate America as much as you claim, why did you sneak over the border into my country?
