Joe Biden's administration orders immigration officials to remove 'alien' and 'illegal alien' from official communications and use 'non-citizen instead' to avoid 'dehumanizing language'

Joe Biden is implementing a new initiative to stop administration workers from using terms like 'alien' and 'illegal' when referencing immigrants in official communications.

Instead, they are being asked to use the term 'noncitizen' to describe immigrants.

Acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Tracy Renaud recently signed a memo to workers, according to a review by Axios, where she encouraged the 'more inclusive language in the agency's outreach efforts, internal documents and in overall communication with stakeholders, partners and the general public.'

It’s like calling a crippled person “disabled”. And when that seems insensitive, call them differently abled. Fact is, alien sums it up - in a non-ignorant culture. But in a world of idiots you have to use simple words.

So the Biden administration no longer recognizes any difference between illegal aliens and non-citizens who are n the U.S. legally as tourists, students, business expats, government officials on foreign assignment, or legal immigrants with green cards? In other words, illegal aliens are here to stay, no questions asked.

The term “alien” is part of the United States Code.

Changing a law by executive fiat is the definition of un-Constitutional power.

Then they need to change immigration law. Those are legal terms as written in immigration laws.

The real reason the communists don’t want those words used is to cloud the difference between legal and illegal immigrants.

We’ve gotten our orders from the far-leftists to change our language, so we must obey.

VP Kamala Harris Has Allegedly Begun To Take Calls With World Leaders On Behalf Of Biden While The Commander-In-Chief Is Busy Playing Video Games

USA Supreme, by George Rowe Original Article

During his weekend retreat at Camp David, Biden, and his granddaughter Naomi played the racing video game, and he won. Naomi shared a video to Instagram that showed Biden competing against her on the Arcade GP DX machines, complete with chairs and steering wheels. Naomi Biden posted on Snapchat this weekend that she and her grandfather played an arcade-style game round of Mario Kart at Camp David over the weekend — and that he won. After playing Mario Kart for three days at Camp David, Joe Biden finally returned to the White House on Monday. While he spent the weekend playing video games thousands of Americans died of Covid-19.

In a Biden administration it would be more accurate to call them “precitizens”.

I would think that the words “dementia”, “senile”, “corrupt”, and “dysfunctional” would be next, as they fit Asterisk’s demeanor perfectly. Keep it up, and eventually government will be communicating in sign language only.

“or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and ...

And what happens after their prison term? That seems like an important part of the punishment.

Since when it is an insult to describe a person who is an
alien that came here illegally, as an illegal alien?

The real insult is to us, for acting as if that isn’t exactly
what they are.
