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.

I would suggest that everyone has a legal status, its just that some people's legal status is that they are breaking the law

House guest who has overstayed their welcome

The new hotness is "Mexican Asylum Seeker"

Also, fix your own damn country

wherever that is

Extra-terrestrial, as in excess terrestrial begins

As insensitive as that sounds, I actually wish Mexico, Central American Countries, South American countries which produce the most unathorized aliens, would turn their countries into countries which would be as such that people didn't feel the need to risk their lives for a "chance" at a better life

Well, we count stop stealing all their talent

Just close immigration.

im not for that, either though

it's their choice to immigrate

but yeah, that has something to do with it

probagbly a pareto distribution thing 😃

Well, smart people leave because they will get killed. We take them because we want them.

It's not much of a choice

probably because the governments are corrupt and/or the country is ruled by barbarians basically.

Francis Fukuyama makes an argument that the reason why South American countries are generally unsuccessful has to do with the differences in the colonizing cultures.

Spain didn't really embrace enlightenment values.

Egalitarianism, rule-of-law, universalism, etc.

spanish/portugese vs french/english/dutch?

That's his argument, yeah.

could be

I mean.. its not like there isn't a blueprint for success that these countries could follow easily since the general populace has every increasing knowledge of the outside world

Fukuyama was wrong on a lot of stuff, but he is thought provoking at least.

It's easy to say they should emulate more successful countries. It's hard to actually make that a reality when doing so upsets existing interests.

oh I know

and like it was said earlier, the people that are smart enough to do it and aren't corrupt, are probably emigrating anyway

Pretty much.
