“undocumented” means ILLEGAL


I agree. I’ve noted that the term “illegal alien” has fallen into disuse, probably because it’s considered hostile to talk of an “alien”. Legally speaking, an “alien” is simply one who is not an American citizen.

But the left has banned the use of alien, and talks of “illegal immigrants”, so as to lump illegals into the same category as legal immigrants.

And the left has also used the term “undocumented immigrant”, as if to suggest that someone who is “undocumented” has simply lost their driver’s license, and is undocumented until such time as their lost documents are replaced.

The left twists the meanings of words, and decrees certain words to be off limits, so as to define the terms of the debate on issues.
