  • I think Phil Collins was eons ahead of his time. Its no fun for people here

    that illegal aliens have made themselves so comfortable here. My grandparents immigrated here legally and paid taxes

  • its not racist!

    The song's lyrics are a lighter, humorous depiction of the frustrations an illegal immigrant faces, leading up to the chorus: "It's no fun/Being an illegal alien". Even though the lyrics are intended as a satire and to be taken in jest, the song can rarely be heard on United States radio stations because of its perceived offensiveness toward illegal immigrants.

  • thanks greets from berlin 2010

  • I hadnt seen the video since I was like 12 or 13. I didnt even know what an illegal alien was at the time.  I just saw the video on yahoo music and you're right its racist and a typical stereotype.

  • Muy buena version. Me encanto. Gracias.

  • it kills me that recently Genesis disallowed Youtube to show the original video of Illegal Aliens - the bunch of hypocrites. Typical liberal double standards. Don't worry boys, we won't forget your ethnicism/racism now because you made a light-hearted song into just that! A bunch of cowards!!

  • love this song and it was in my home town PHILLY BABY!!!!!!! :-)
