The House voted Friday to order the Library of Congress to keep using the term illegal alien to describe those who come to the U.S. without authorization, saying that as long as federal laws written by Congress use those terms, so should their official records-keeper.
The library earlier this had proposed changing, saying that despite being used in law, the term had become pejorative and needed to be axed. Instead the library said it would use noncitizen to refer to illegal immigrants, and unauthorized immigration to refer to the broader issue.
Republicans revolted against the change, and demanded in the annual legislative branch funding bill that the library use terms that reflect federal law...

“Trump effect.”
Absolutely. If not for Trump, every GOPe would’ve voted unanimously to stop using the term. Then, they would have run to the White House to be seen standing behind Obama as he signed it into law.
GENESIS
“Illegal Alien”
Got out of bed, wasn’t feeling too good
With my wallet and my passport, a new pair of shoes
The sun is shining so I head for the park,
With a bottle of Tequila, and a new pack of cigarettes
I got a cousin and she got a friend,
Who thought that her aunt knew a man who could help
At his apartment I knocked on the door,
He wouldn’t come out until he got paid.
Now don’t tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out you know that they’ll never let me through, cos
It’s no fun being an illegal alien
No, it’s no fun being an illegal alien
Down at the office had to fill out the forms
A pink one, a red one, the colours you choose,
Up to the counter to see what they think
They said “it doesn’t count man, it ain’t written in ink”.
I don’t trust anybody, least not around here, cos
It’s no fun being an illegal alien, I tell ya
It’s no fun being an illegal alien, no no no no no
It’s no fun being an illegal alien, I mean it when I tell ya that
It’s no fun being an illegal alien,
An illegal alien, O.K.
Consideration for your fellow man
Would not hurt anybody, it sure fits in with my plan
Over the border, there lies the promised land
Where everything comes easy, you just hold out your hand
Keep your suspicions, I’ve seen that look before
But I ain’t done nothing wrong now, is that such a suprise
But I’ve got a sister who’d be willing to oblige
She will do anything now to help me get to the outside
So don’t tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out you know that they’ll never let me through, because
It’s no fun being an illegal alien, I tell ya
It’s no fun being an illegal alien, and it’s getting me down
It’s no fun being an illegal alien, no no no no no
It’s no fun being an illegal alien, yeah yeah yeah
It’s no fun (not much fun) being an illegal alien, I tell ya that
It’s no fun being an illegal alien, I tell ya
It’s no fun being an illegal alien, no no no
It’s no fun (not bloody much fun) being an illegal alien,
It’s no fun being an illegal alien, and that’s what I am.
And they wil FUND obummercare and PP in the next budget. Trump ‘em all!
