Wall Street Journal Bans Reporters from Using the Term ‘Illegal Immigrant’
Breitbart ^ | March 12 2021 | JOHN BINDER

The Wall Street Journal, owned by billionaire Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., is banning its reporters from using the term “illegal immigrant” and “illegal” to refer to illegal aliens living in the United States.

This week, in an update its style guide, the Journal states that while it will allow reporters to continue using the term “illegal immigration” to describe the process of illegal aliens arriving and staying in the U.S., it will no longer permit reporters to describe individuals as “illegal” or “illegal immigrant” in an effort to stop “labeling people.”

"The style guide recommends that reporters instead refer to them as 'future Dem voters.'"

Does WSJ expect people to honor their copyrights? Do they expect legal payments for their legal products and services?

They must not since they support scofflaws. So congrats to everyone who figures out how to get around the WSJ’s border, I mean, paywall.

There are too many other sources of financial news and data to have to pay for and promote propaganda. WSJ once had a nice niche, but the ptb’s there just weren’t strong enough to maintain it. Afraid to be different and tell the truth.

Never. WSJ, in the form of Robert L. Bartley, was famous for pimping open borders. “If Washington still wants to “do something” about immigration, we propose a five-word constitutional amendment: There shall be open borders.”

You mean like hillary called us “deplorables” or more recently biden called us “neanderthals”?

That kind of labeling people?

Okay, alleged criminals.

The first offense is a misdemeanor according to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which prohibits non-nationals from entering or attempting to enter the United States at any time or place which has not been designated by an immigration officer, and also prohibits non-nationals from eluding inspection by immigration officers.

Criminals.

Use the word ‘colonizador’. Easily understood by English-speaking peoples.

“That is fine, the correct legal term is “illegal alien”.”

How about criminal alien?
