It’s not only wrong on the principle that it is a euphemism (i.e. bull____), but because its actually misleading because very often they have plenty of documents:

President Obama’s accused drunken-driving uncle — who was busted after a near collision with a Framingham cop —has had a valid Social Security number for at least 19 years, despite being an illegal immigrant ordered to be deported back to Kenya, the Herald has learned.

The president’s 67-year-old uncle, Obama Onyango, has had a valid Massachusetts driver’s license and Social Security number since at least 1992, said Registry of Motor Vehicles spokesman Michael Verseckes.

By the way, the Obama administration has said it wanted to deport the criminals aliens. Will this apply to Mr. Onyango?

It would appear that the document that is missing is the extradition papers for the ILLEGAL ALIEN.

Gads, it’s so easy to see why liberals don’t ever have success with anything - except lying.

Most of the MSM just calls them “immigrants” now.

I will try to find the article that explained how uncle 0dumbo got a SSN. This article stated the welfare offices in Mass routinely assing fake SSN to illegals so they can get bennies
and of course with a fake SSN htey can get a driver’s license.

What I don’t get is 0dumbo mentions this uncle in he lying book dreams from my father so do we really think he didn’t know where the uncle was?
just like that lyin’ POS 0dumbo said he didn’t know where his lyin auntie z was
How do libs believe anything this scumbad says?

We need to make entering this country illegally a federal crime, not just a minor infraction. That would help put a name on these people, like FELONS.

Has anyone checked to see if Uncle Omar Obama is registered to vote?

I suspect he has not, but I have not seen any story re voter registration.

Of course it’s wrong. It’s newspeak. Newspeak is always deception. It’s intended to be.

Beyond those aliens whose documents were obtained by fraud or governmental malfeasance, the term "undocumented immigrants" is Orwellian misspeak on many levels.

First, its use of "undocumented" to replace illegal would make shoplifters undocumented shoppers and trespassers undocumented guests/visitors.

And in the case of millions of illegals, even the word "immigrants" is a misuse of the word, whose true historical and traditional meaning can be found in a comparison to the word for another type of migrant.

"Immigrants" migrate from their native country to become part of another country.

"Colonists" migrate in another country to make it part of their native country.

Just a reminder - it is absolutely wrong to call an illegal alien an illegal immigrant - ain't so! Immigrants by definition are legal - our forefathers were all immigrants. The media has been perpetuating the lie.

Ya, what happened to calling people “illegal aliens”?

I assume that due to political correctness, the term illegal alien was replaced by illegal immigrant or undocumented immigrant.

We live in a politically correct world. I can’t believe how political correctness has taken over our speech and the written word.

Even better: "They're trying to criminalize illegal immigration!"

As Rush says: "We couldn't make this stuff up."

"That would help put a name on these people, like FELONS."

Although the simple act of being in the USA is not (currently) a felony, most illegals are already felons "de facto" due to all the fraudulent paper they have to pass in order to work, buy stuff, etc. etc. Most of these frauds are felonies.

Sure, and it’s wrong to call a drug dealer an undocumented pharmacist.

Yes. It's astonishing.

George Orwell has turned out to be a clearer foreseer of the future than Jules Verne, Nostradamus, and Edgar Casey all together!

Anyone who buys this will also buy calling a burglar “an uninvited guest”.
