"criminal immigrants"
Interesting to see how the lexicon war has evolved. The pro-illegal crowd likes to call them "undocumented workers." The anti-illegals used to call them "illegal immigrants."
Now I see that the "anti" crowd has upped the ante and now speaks of "criminal immigrants."
As they say, he who controls the language, controls the debate.

Whoever worded that title is woefully behind the times.
They're criminal ENTRANTS.

Now I see that the "anti" crowd has upped the ante and now speaks of "criminal immigrants." Seems to me the article is about criminal activity.
Therefore wouldn't an illegal immigrant that has committed a crime be called a criminal?

As they say, he who controls the language, controls the debate. Isn't that the truth, especially with our dumbed-down education.
