Don't say 'illegal immigrants': Whitehall prefers 'clandestine entrants' or 'irregular migrants' to avoid 'connotations' More Buzz Words More Politically Correct Phrases, More Spin, Same Old Trying To Cause Confusion To Cover Up The Fact That Thousands Of Illegal Immigrants Are Still Entering Britain

Don't say 'illegal immigrants': Whitehall prefers 'clandestine entrants' or 'irregular migrants' to avoid 'connotations' 19 December 2014 UKIP

11,920 attempts were made to enter the UK between April and July

John Vine, immigration watchdog, described them as 'irregular migrants'

Home Office wants to avoid 'presumption' they've done something wrong

Number does not take into account those who made it undetected

Lorry drivers warned not to stop within a 130-mile radius of Calais

The Home Office risks accusations of political correctness after saying that foreigners sneaking into Britain should not be referred to as illegal immigrants.

The department said those trying to get into Britain unlawfully should be referred to as 'clandestine entrants'.

The debate about the correct term to use was ignited after John Vine, the independent immigration watchdog, described them as 'irregular migrants'.

It comes after it emerged almost 3,000 attempts to enter Britain are made each month by illegal immigrants.

The number, which has almost quadrupled in just three years, does not take into account those who made it into Britain undetected.

From April to July this year, 11,920 attempts were made to enter the UK

Each day, almost 100 illegal immigrants try to enter Britain, the statistics released following a freedom of information request sent by The Daily Telegraph newspaper reveal.

If current rates continue, by the end of the year, there could have been more than 35,000 attempts by immigrants to sneak into Britain.

There is good cause to wonder whether their next “Churchill” will appear in time to save them.

The Channel’s a little wide for it, but ‘wetbacks’ has been getting the point across over here for several decades.

Just a thought here. The people who advocate calling these interlopers other than what they are. Do they not have families and do they not know what these “illegals” are doing to their country?

Paging King Arthur, King Arthur please pick up the gold courtesy phone. You need to come back from Avalon, and bring your sword.

As an old English class warrior once put it—”In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”

Euphemisms, weasel words, embellishment ... outright lies: “We’re the Anglo-American left, and we’re here to help.”

They don’t care. It’s about political correctness and pandering for votes.

“Don’t say ‘illegal immigrants’”

We call them “Undocumented Democrats”.

I still prefer the term “illegal alien” because that is exactly what they are.

I like it. I'm not even comfortable calling them illegal immigrants. I believe the word "immigrant" gives them too much legitimacy. I think illegals, illegal aliens, or your foreign invaders are all good terms.

These are lawless {expletive} criminals. Their first considered act on entering the country was to break our laws by entering the country. If someone got off a plane at the international terminal in an airport and immediately beat a child, shot a cop, raped a fellow passenger, robbed the starbucks in the terminal... We wouldn't have any problem calling them a criminal. That is exactly what these foreign invaders are: criminals who come here and immediately start breaking our laws. Treat them as such. (scum)

Is Illegal Immigrants are Undocumented Workers, then Shoplifters are Undocumented Customers.
