No More ‘Undocumented’ — Justice Dept. Says Correct Term Is ‘Illegal Alien’
LifeZette ^ | 07-24-2018 | Staff

When it comes to one of the biggest issues of the day — illegal immigration — the Justice Department has made a move toward the use of correct terminology within that department.

The DOJ, headed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions (shown above), has reportedly told its attorneys by email that the term “undocumented” is inaccurate according to U.S. Code, and that they should start using the legally correct term — “illegal alien,” as CNN.com noted

I’m not sure what Professional meant, but I may agree with him / her if “tossing in the towel” is selectively directed at getting justice from, well, the Justice Dept.

THAT is a VERY big problem. No? To me that doesn’t mean “give up on everything”, but it does mean virtually “everything” is at great risk. I cannot think of a worse cancer, in the long run, than unchecked gov’t corruption.

It sounds more like Sessions made a suggestion to me. It also says it is REPORTED (by who?) I hope this becomes a real rule soon.

Maybe you and others should cease and desist with the incessant attacks and let Sessions do his job.

Sometimes I feel as you do. But, at other times I wonder what Jeff is thinking when he reinstitutes civil forfeiture and talks about anti-pot crusade (although he's walked that back some). Meanwhile, Trump has the hounds (or maybe the Pomeranians) of the Deep State nipping at his heels.

Yes, Sessions had a brief, transient moment of awakening, during which he approached lucidity. Sadly, he relapsed and is back in his comatose state.

Arthurus, if we get to November 2020 and there have been no indictments in four years, what’s your take going to be then?

What’s your take now on Hillary? There are five to ten actionable things he could have indicted her for.

Where’s the beef?

IIRC it was Jimmah Cahtah that coined the term “undocumented”, and instructed his administration to use the term, because he was tired of the term “Illegal alien”.

Why any aware adult citizen would care about what Jimmah was or was not 'tired of' remains a mystery.
What is not, is his ranking in history for ineffectual leadership, primarily in the area of National defense, and his role as Commander-in-Chief.

In my opinion he might only be surpassed by the unchallenged champion Barack Hussein, the Manchurian President and First Traitor, and Clinton, the First Rapist, and his First Criminal Wife co-president, on the worst List.

I see, you knew all about deep state operating it’s own shadow government attempting to undermine and compromise not Nicaragua, or some 3rd world s**t hole, but elections in the United States itself.

Is this correct?
