I posted the other day on another thread that the battle cannot be won unless we win the battle of the language. The word illegal has been usurped in most of the media by the word undocumented. Its an insidious word undocumented. It removes the illegality of the act and makes it sound as though they were invited here and their papers were misplaced.
You won’t find a dictionary where the two words are described as synonyms and yet that’s how they are being used,by those who have studied the language and are employed as reporters.
Illegals must be described for what they are for most every act they perform on this side of the border is a crime,from taking jobs that should be open to Americans to placing their children in our schools at a great cost to us to every other benefit they are stealing from us.
They’re Illegals,not Undocumented and never let it be said otherwise.

A lot of these illegals do in fact have documentation it's just that it has been illegally obtained.

The appropriate phrase for this category would be illegally documented illegals.
