It looked like Amazon had taken the offensive “illegal Alien” costume off their site—BUT WE’VE JUST GOTTEN A REPORT THAT IT IS BACK UP. Click to see what AMAZON.COM’s site calls a "Illegal Alien Funny Adult Halloween Party Joke Costume"

This costume is on their site is despite them telling and emailing our supporters that they had taken them down!!!

-————————————————————

Sign our petition to Amazon.com now and tell them how dissapointed you are about them sell these costumes:

The “illegal alien” Halloween costumes that your corporation is selling are offensive and dehumanizing. They perpetuate racism and discrimination in an already hostile environment and during a period of time when the debate on immigration reform is increasingly hateful and divisive. It most certainly is not a Funny Adult Halloween Party Joke Costume as your site depicts it.

I trust that your corporation will understand that what we need is respectful debate — not offensive caricatures.

I am disappointed with the judgment that your corporation has demonstrated in selling these distasteful costumes. I respectfully request that you pull them item immediately off your internet site as a symbol of respect and good will towards your large immigrant and progressive client base.

amazon has not responded for over 2 years.
