Controversial 'Green Card-Illegal' T-Shirts Sold In Fla. Stores
Controversial 'Green Card-Illegal' T-Shirts Sold In Fla. Stores

T-shirts featuring controversial messages concerning illegal aliens are being sold at some Macy's stores in Florida, according to Local 6 News.

IMAGES: Photos Of Shirts Members of the Spanish American League Against Discrimination said the T-shirts are not only politically incorrect but are also highly offensive.

One of the shirts says "G is for Green Card "and the other says "I is for Illegal."

The shirts are some of the most popular sold by the Mexican company, NaCo, the report said.

NaCo, which is Mexican for tacky, said the shirts are actually meant to combat racism and discrimination.

1. Actually, Naco itself is a derogatory racial slur
it is short for Totonaco; one of the native American tribes.
