<p>This costume is on their site is despite them telling and emailing our supporters that they had taken them down!!! </p>
<p>-------------------------------------------</p>
<p><strong> Sign our petition to Amazon.com now and tell them how dissapointed you are about them sell these costumes:</strong> </strong></p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Illegal-Alien-Funny-Halloween-Costume/dp/B002QDDVUA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1256584139&sr=8-1">Funny Adult Halloween Party Joke Costume</a> as your site depicts it.</p>
<p>I trust that your corporation will understand that what we need is respectful debate -- not offensive caricatures. </p>
<p>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. </p>
