That is meaningless to me.
I call them illegal aliens at least ten times a day in FR alone!
Nobody controls the English language, as far as I'm concerned.
I hear you.
I was just pointing out that the media don’t use the term illegal alien.
Many use the term “undocumented”, which is a way of the media trying to change perceptions of who these people are.
To say “undocumented”, makes it sound as if someone lost their ID and needs a replacement. Heck, based on that, some of us have been undocumented, if we lost our driver’s license and had to get a replacement.
And it doesn’t help when liberals such as Congressman John Lewis say that “this is America” and “our doors are open”. Such people apparently think that we should not have any borders at all, no border patrol, no citizenship status, nothing to distinguish between citizens and somebody who sneaked into this country last week.
