Public College (University of Maryland) Insists Illegals Be Referred To As 'Citizens'
Daily Caller ^ | December 11, 2015 | Blake Neff

The University of Maryland is sponsoring a poster campaign encouraging students to refer to illegal immigrants as "undocumented citizens."

The inaccurate term, first noted by Campus Reform, is promoted by the school's "Inclusive Language Campaign," which is throwing up posters around campus to encourage the use of friendlier language.

While they are "undocumented," they most certainly are NOT "citizens."

However, they are both "illegal" and "immigrants," so THAT is the accurate term. "Invaders" works also.

“...Public College (University of Maryland) Insists ...”

So they “insist”, huh?

Nah. Don’t think I’ll comply.

They’re still illegal alien criminal trespassers.

How’s that?

Just call them undocumented Democrat voters.

Their votes are all you care about anyway.

Hmmmm....Why not undocumented Supreme Court Justices? Or undocumented University Professors? Or undocumented Green Bay Packers’ Quarterbacks? These all seem much friendlier....

I once visited the University of Maryland. I guess that qualifies me as an alumnus even though I don’t have the required documentation.

At one time they were a big time contractor for the USAF providing college courses by mail and or in residence. Lots of GI's got college credits from the U of Maryland. Are they still doing that? If so..they should be stripped of their contracts.

Immigrants, by definition, have gone through the immigration process — Since illegals haven’t, they’re not immigrants. They’re not undocumented either since they have plenty of fake documents.

Since they get to be called citizens without actually completing all the qualifications for the certificate proving it, I think all college students should be called “Doctor” and have PhD after their names. Same difference.
