Controversy Over Illegal Alien Halloween Costume (Photo)



Some Hispanic activists are upset over a Halloween costume called the "illegal alien."  The costume features an orange prison jumpsuit with the words "illegal alien" written on the front, and it comes a space alien mask and a fake green card. Jesse Diaz with the League of United Latin American Citizens says it's offensive. Target and Walgreens both offered the costume online, but have since taken it down. Diaz says he would like the stores to offer apologies as well.
