The Associated Press struck the phrase “illegal immigrant” from its vocabulary, but don’t expect Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer to do the same.
Brewer, a Republican who has been serving as governor since 2009, defended her use of the word during an interview with ABC News Senior National Correspondant Jim Avila, posted on Monday.
“To me, they’re illegal immigrants,” she told Avila, when he pressed her on why she still uses the term that many publications are dropping.
“When you break the law, you’re doing something illegal, that makes you an illegal,” she added. “So they are an illegal immigrant.”
When Avila called her use of the phrase “offensive to some people,” Brewer remained firm in her convictions.
“Well I’m sorry, but I believe that if you break the law and you’re an illegal immigrant and you’re in this country illegally, you are an illegal immigrant,” she said.

I believe the legal term is deportable alien.
LOL. I have NO idea why it posted that many times.
And I’ll defend the term “filthy wetbacks”.
Yup.
Just call them criminal Mexicans, you'll be right about 98% of the time.
The statutory term is “illegal alien.” Deal with it.
I prefer illegal alien

2....a foreigner who enters the U.S. without an entry or immigrant visa, especially a person who crosses the border by avoiding inspection or who overstays the period of time allowed as a visitor, tourist, or businessperson.
And I’ll defend the term “filthy wetbacks”.
I still use the term “Wetback”.
I’ve called them “Mojado” to their faces, too.
