... and we professional journalists all wish that you evil, hateful, and politically incorrect Freepers people would quit referring to Undocumented Democrats as illegals ...

[Redleg Duke]

We know that they are really “Undocumented Democrats”.

[goodnesswins]

The “SPJ” just proved the “value” of their education....worthless!

[Dilbert San Diego]

Illegal immigrant replaced the term illegal alien, which was seen as too inflammatory to use. So now the only people who talk about illegal aliens are strong conservatives.

So now we’re not even supposed to say that these people are immigrants? How did they get to America? How PC can we get in describing someone who is here but is not a citizen, and came here in violation of the law in the first place?

Or are we supposed to be good liberals and ignore illegal immigration??????

[refermech]

Wetback is more appropriate...

I guess old Dan is the posterkind for the Society of Professional Jourwhoralists!

[crusty old prospector]

I have always been fond of illegal alien myself.

Here is another example of Newspeak. Truth hurts, so get rid of truth.

SPJ = State Propaganda Junction.

Eff these state-propagandist bastards who refuse to call things as they really are.

SPJ (Society of Professional Journalists) Takes Up Crusade against Term ‘Illegal Immigrant’

I agree. Let's go with "Wetback."

"Illegal Alien" would work also.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” —Isaiah 5:20

[Lazamataz]

Calling an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT an "Undocumented Worker" is like calling a SHOPLIFTER an "Undocumented Shopper".

[dirtboy]

The label “remains offensive to Latinos, and especially Mexicans, and to the fundamentals of American jurisprudence,”

American jurisprudence calls them exactly that - illegal.

What is offensive here is the SPJ to logic and reason.

[heiss]

Would “illegal parasite” be clearer?

I also like “undocumented democrat”.

[dsc]

How about “border crashers?”

“Invaders?”

“Uninvited parasites?”

SPJ (Society of Professional Journalists) Takes Up Crusade against Term ‘Illegal Immigrant’

While we're at it, let's replace "Professional Journalist," too. "Politically Correct Propagandist" would be more accurate.

[Keith in Iowa]

Next the SPJ will call those people who, following a natural disaster, go from store to store, helping themselves to merchandise, “undocumented shoppers exercising a deferred purchase plan” instead of thieving looters.

[hosepipe]

"Illegal Immigrants" ARE Insurgents..

"Guest Workers", doing the jobs the 22% unemployed Americans won't do (U6 unemployment figures).

[US Navy Vet]

OK how about ALIEN!?
