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.
UMD’s Multicultural Involvement and Community Advocacy office, an official organ of the university, is running the campaign. The posters tell students that “words have power” and people should be cautious, lest they offend people with the terms they use.
“Would you say [illegal alien] if you knew I am an undocumented citizen?” the poster asks passersby.
Nicole Mehta, the program director of UMD’s Common Ground Multicultural Dialogue Program, told Campus Reform the term “undocumented citizen” was deliberate, and was chosen based on surveys of students.
“The use of ‘undocumented citizen’ (along with other terms such as undocumented individuals, immigrants, etc.) seeks to avoid dehumanization of an entire group of individuals,” Mehta said.
Of course, “undocumented citizen” makes no sense as a term, since illegal immigrants are not American citizens. The poster campaign discourages a host of other phrases, including “that’s so ghetto,” and “that’s so retarded.”
Tax money and college debt, all wasted on this crap
FIRE Whoever is responsible for this
I don’t care what the America-hating Marxists call them, they’ll always be freeloading, illegal alien invaders to me.
the university is no longer an American institution
the campus is become a foreign entity
‘Illegal alien’ is the correct legal term and it’s rhetorically accurate.

And they will.
I agree!
Can’t be a citizen unless you are legal and documented.
They’re illegal aliens and these folks saying they should be called “undocumented citizens” are twits and/or nitwits.
That’s undercutting ALL of us citizens and the value of our citizenship.
They are fraudulently documented foreigners.
I am a Cruz supporter. If Trump promises to burn every university to the ground and imprison every professor so we can start over with post secondary education he can have my vote.
Undocumented Demonrat voters would be closer to the truth.
According to the Un. of Md PC aholes, by their own twisted logic, a criminal is now to be referred to as “an as yet uncaptured person performing illegal acts in defiance of established laws”. Right?
The Un. of Maryland, once a bastion with some sense of sanity, has recently been invaded by Marxists, Islamists, black racists and PC wackos, successfully.
None of them are undocumented. They all have multiple sets of fraudulent documents. One girl at the Burger King up the street applied under a different name after she left the first time because of a no-match letter from the feds.
It’s worse than my worst fears.
I’ll be away from the computer for a few hours.
I have to drive into town and pick up some cocaine
from that guy on the corner, the unregistered pharmacist.
No. How about criminal aliens? Is that acceptable?
“Tax money and college debt, all wasted on this crap”
Couldn’t agree more.
They are not immigrants. They are aliens. Illegal aliens. We even got caught up with the illegal “immigrant” transition from hearing it so much.
