U.S. law makes a clear distinction between aliens and immigrants by defining immigrants as a subset of aliens. Although U.S. law provides no overarching explicit definition of the term "illegal alien," the term is used in many statutes and elsewhere (e.g., court cases, executive orders). U.S. law also uses the term "unauthorized alien". U.S. immigration laws do use the phrase illegal immigrant, though the phrase has become a common and highly politicized term in the United States.

I much prefer the term Criminal Alien. Short, to the point and very truthful. Politicize that.
