Retails Asked To Stop Selling Illegal Alien Costumes For Halloween
(New York, NY) -- Two Halloween costumes have been pulled from Target stores and are no longer being offered online after a slew of complaints that they were distasteful.
The "Illegal Alien Adult Costume" consisted of an orange, jail-like jumpsuit, a space alien mask and fake green card.
The "Illegal Alien Mask with Hat" costume included a space alien mask adorned with a black mustache and ball cap.
Some stores report steady business for the costume.
The head of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles says the organization began receiving complaints on Friday, prompting him to write a letter asking retailers like Target, Walgreens and Amazon.com to stop offering what the organization considers to be offensive costumes.
