"Illegal aliens" is now deemed non-PC, insulting, plus (important part) it immediately gives away your political position.
My suggestion is to use "foreign nationals" instead.
1. Foreign. We know what that is. Another country instead of 'alien' - another world. It's not quite as pejorative in tone and there's no stigma attached to it yet by the left.
2. Nationals. They are from another country and owe their allegiance to other nations as they aren't Americans.
In use: "President Trump has called for an audit of the California election. Democrats have suggested the election results were tainted and Trump wants to determine if any foreign nationals voted in our presidential elections and, if so, how many."
"A group of foreign nationals protested that they should be given in-state tuition."
"The mainstream media has kept the number of foreign nationals living among us at 11 million for the last twenty years."
I think it works and always good to engage in linguistic warfare.
I mean, who invited the phrase 'fake news'?
Myrddin is correct with the semantics. “Illegal Alien” is tried & true, “illegal border jumper” also works for me.
uh...NO
Foreign nationals include legal visitors, legal students, and those with a green card.
illegals have not been screened and are breaking the law.
8 U.S. Code § 1101
(3) The term alien means any person not a citizen or national of the United States.
Follow the law and call them what they are!
You want to call them something different then change the law.
Permanent Residents who came here legally are Foreign Nationals.
I like illegal aliens; or aliens who are here illegally
Since the “illegal” word is so offensive to the little snowflakes, I have switched over to the phrase “unauthorized entry immigrant.” That satisfies the objector’s requirement that critics use a phrase that describes who they are or what they actually did.
Now, all rational people know, that when you enter a place without authority, you have entered it illegally. So it amounts to the same thing except that the lawbreakers and their hyperventilating enablers don’t get their poor little feelings hurt.
Invaders works for me.
*****”Illegal aliens” is now deemed non-PC, insulting, plus (important part) it immediately gives away your political position.******
Why submit to political correctness? Why should you be timid about your political position? Leftists aren’t.
Illegal aliens are illegal aliens. It's a perfectly good term. Use it. Leftists can ESAD.
Illegal aliens works for me. They are not immigrants. I still wonder why conservative talk uses the term undocumented immigrants or some other PC euphemism. Once again the left sets the discussion boundaries. BTW let’s get the drum rolling, no welfare for non-citizens period. All costs associated with a non citizen, such as medical care, are paid by the non citizen’s country of origin. This would save us a bunch.
No
I believe the official term used by the federal government is still illegal alien.
criminal illegals.
Trespassers.
What part of ILLEGAL alien don’t the Left and Media get? Oh, yeah, these are Undocumented Voters for Democraps.
Foreign National Invaders
Bingo. Illegal alien is a legal accepted term and foreign national can include vacationers, students and visa holders who are here legally. Lets take back the language instead and educate people on what illegal alien means:
il·le·gal a·li·en
NOUN
US
a foreign national who is living without authorization in a country of which they are not a citizen.
