President Joe Biden has initiated a new directive that would prohibit the use of the terms “alien” or “illegal alien” in official immigration communications.
The preferred term going forward for illegal immigrants will be “non-citizens” or other “inclusive” terms.
Acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Tracy Renaud signed a memo encouraging the “more inclusive language in the agency’s outreach efforts, internal documents and in overall communication with stakeholders, partners and the general public.”
Axios reports, “Other changes include using ‘undocumented noncitizen’ or ‘undocumented individual’ rather than ‘illegal alien’ and ‘integration or civic integration’ instead of ‘assimilation.'”

So you can rehash old news for your blog? Wow, I’m so impressed. How ‘bout some original reporting for a change.
Criminal Invaders?
Bump. Much more realistically phrased.
There, I said it.
How about we use the term that should be used, "criminal."
I know that the immigration activists and their Democrat enablers don’t like the term “Illegal Alien” because it hurts their feelings. But technically, they do have a point. You can’t illegally be a foreigner. Being a foreigner is not an illegal status.
However, a foreigner being illegally present in the country is a legal status and needs a proper reference term. So, properly, any more “humanizing” term the Democrats want to use in substitution for “alien” - let’s say “Bullwinkle” - should be preceded by the adjectives “illegally present.” As in “illegally present Bullwinkle.”
Non-citizen doesn’t work because all persons who are not United States citizens, no matter where they are, are “non-citizens.” And like alien, as discusssd above, that is a perfectly fine designation as long as the person is not illegally present in the United States. Using “non-citizen” without any preceding adjectives to indicate their status with regard to presence in the United States obscures and confuses the principal reason for taking notice of them at all. No. The only way “non-citizen” works is when it is preceded with the term “illegally present.”
They're aliens, not immigrants.
“Wetback” it is!

So how are those Xiden Xdministration clowns going to know when one of them is talking about ILLEGAL ALIENS? A wink and a nod or something?
