An illegal alien halloween costume consisting of an orange jumpsuit with the phrase 'illegal alien' on it, a green alien mask and a green card is generating many complaints today, with Target removing the costume for sale from its website.

It's "distasteful, mean-spirited and ignorant of social stigmas and current debate on immigration reform," says Angelica Salas.
Salas is from the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.
However, the costume is still available online from walgreens, toysrus, amazon, meijer and buycostumes.
Target said they included the costume by mistake, but can it be a mistake for all the other retailers?

Here is the company that markets and distributes the costume.
The presidents email is there, so you can send your views.
Using the plight of aliens furthers fear, sterotypes, and prejudice.
