I find this both sad and funny! 
Might I suggest Groundskeeper green instead?
 
A Southern California immigrant rights group on Friday asked Target stores and a costume company to stop selling an "illegal alien" Halloween costume it said is offensive to immigrants.

The costume features the mask of an alien with a green card and an orange jumpsuit with "illegal alien" written across the front.

Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles, wrote emails to Minneapolis-based Target and Wisconsin-based BuySeasons, Inc. calling the costume "distasteful, mean-spirited, and ignorant of social stigmas and current debate on immigration reform."

The group said it also planned to send letters to other companies that are selling the costume.

Target is removing the costume from the site after receiving several complaints, company spokesman Joshua Thomas said Friday. The store never intended to sell the outfit but included it in its online offerings by mistake, he said.

 

Like I said...Target is a WIMP!

Target is not a wimp... Target is anti-American and totally anti-2nd Amendment, anti-hunting.  When is the last time you bought any hunting supplies at a Target?  They sell no guns or gun products and no hunting products. 
They are owned by a French consoritium, btw.  I have not shopped for ANYTHING at Target in many years, nor has anyone in my family.  We don't go there...
Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living

Luckily there are no Targets convenient to my stompting grounds.  Come to think of it, I never really cared for Target's product line, the few times I have shopped there.  From my background in retail, I would have to agree with you that their product selection list has an usually offcenter feel to it, some common things were missing!
