Im completely ignorant about the situation in detention centers though, perhaps jail would be an improvement over their current situation
im trying to think of a way to better describe immigrants who enter the country illegally or over stay visas
if you say illegal the left will call you right
if you say undocumented the right will call you left
it needs to be not as ofensive by descriptive
but*
Renegade immigrant?
that way the left thinks its cool but it does describe them
lol
It always is
Now see, this is where the PC crap is a problem
the legal definition is "illegal alien" on US laws
that's what they should be called because it's a LEGAL designation
the whole undocumented immigrant is PC gone overboard
They're here illegally because they are undocumented. It isn't that far from the truth.
but its a legal term
use it
and actually the official term might also be "unauthorized aliens"
I'm good with that too
oh yea there u go
"U.S. law makes a clear distinction between aliens and immigrants by defining immigrants as a subset of aliens.[9] Although U.S. law provides no overarching explicit definition of the term "illegal alien," the term is used in many statutes[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and elsewhere (e.g., court cases, executive orders). U.S. law also uses the term "unauthorized alien".[20][21][22] U.S. immigration laws do use the phrase illegal immigrant, though the phrase has become a common and highly politicized term in the United States.[23]"
i tweeted that earlier
oh yeah that's where I saw that
so "illegal aliean" and "unauthorized alien" is US law apprently
but never illegal immigrant
seems to me that whatever's in the law should be the term used
anything else is just political correctness...
immigrant without legal status?
Unauthorized alien seems fair.
Ultimately though this is a left-wing tactic. Redefine the language to narrow acceptable thought.
Syme explains it very clearly in 1984. Lenin and friends did this sort of thng all the time.
All these euphemisms that have been coined for "political correctness" aren't about protecting someone's feelings. It's about controlling what is and is not acceptable in discourse, and therefore winning political battles by default.
Some folk believe the term was coined by the early national socialist movements in pre-Nazi Europe. Other believe it was coined by Lenin. But everyone agrees that the purpose of politically correct speech is to constrain thought.
I should say the 'original purpose'
Many people now would believe that current politically correct speech is good, while the original application of the concept was bad.
My advice would be to use the most literal wording possible.
A foreign national without legal authorization to be present in the United States.
