Bad Hallowen Costumes, Part 3: The Illegal Alien costume, sold at Target



We have recently published numerous examples of bad, and tasteless Halloween costumes. But now, in Los Angeles, (at a Target store) they are selling a costume called "The Illegal Alien."

"He didn't just cross a border, he crossed a galaxy!" according to the costume's description. "He's got his green card, but it's from another planet!" The Illegal Alien Adult Costume includes an orange prison-style jumpsuit with 'Illegal Alien' printed on the front, an alien mask and a 'green card.'"

Naturally, this pissed off numerous special interest groups, including the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles,who asked Minneapolis-based retailer Target to remove the costume from its website. Target spokesman Joshua Thomas told The Associated Press that the company is removing the costume after receiving several complaints.
