"Wetback is more appropriate..."No, no, no, they must be referred to as "non uniformed combatants" of a hostile invading force, and dealt with appropriately. IMHO

It’s going to be very hard to control language....UNLESS they control the INTERNET! Back in about 1994 I was told by a “friend” that I should not refer to my husband as “husband” but as “partner.” It was the beginning of the end of my friendship...but, I have found that the “husband and wife” nomenclature has NOT disappeared.

I wish all these yahoos would stop the bloomin’ word games.
They need to play freakin’ Scrabble or some chit to satisfy their addiction to word play.
Illegal immigrant= Illegal immigrant in the real world, where there’s rule of law.

They are NOT IMMIGRANTS. You have to jump through hoops and pay fees to become an IMMIGRANT with a visa. If you don't have a visa you are simply NOT an immigrant.
People here without visas must be sent back so they can pick up theirs.

Instead of taking up a crusade against the TERM “illegal immigrants,” they should take up a crusade AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

When I first read this, I thought it was satire (”...educate journalists about the hurtfulness of phrases like illegal immigrant...). Guess not.
It did give me an idea for a video production: “JournOLists Gone Wild!”

I’d be fine replacing the term with “foreign invader”, personally.

They are correct. There are legal immigrants, non-resident aliens, and illegal aliens. The term, “illegal immigrant” is an oxymoron, as no illegal alien should ever be allowed immigrant status.
