The proper term is "alien," of which there are several categories. The one in question is "illegal alien."

No, the CORRECT and legal term is ILLEGAL ALIEN

The term "undocumented" is the leftist attempt at political correctness - seems you buy into the PC game

Um...your claim is that "undocumented" is the proper term. Maybe I missed it, but I don't see the word "undocumented" anywhere in that definition. What you've shown is that "alien" is the proper term, which was my claim. Thanks.

They are illegal aliens. The sundry euphemisms the pro-illegals create changes nothing; it only perpetuates their delusional sense of entitlement.

Unfortunately, this incident is merely one of a multitude of heinous crimes these 'hard-working' and 'decent' invaders have committed. It's appalling, and hardly an isolated incident.

Immigrants = Legal Entry
Illegal Aliens = Unlawful Entry

Guests = Invited
Burglars = Criminal Breaking & Entering

Thanks again! I'm glad you finally agree that "illegal" is the proper term.

BTW, alien does not equal immigrant. A visiting foreign emissary is an alien, but not an immigrant. There are many more examples.

Advice: Stop digging.

you can use all the "correct" words you want as what "they" are soppose to be called... who cares. But Americans DO care that they are here without concent, proper papers, legal (real) documentation, legal status.. use whichever one you like! They are simply DRAINING Americans dry.. give, give, give.. Americans are sick of it.. the real ones are anyway.. not the amnesty illegals.

Default Remember this ?

"Remember those 2 illegals from Mexico, who raped and murdered the 2 girls in Houston? They were in jail, and officials from Mexico came over, and were able to take these 2 monsters back to Mexico. Now, they are suing because the officers in Houston didn't tell them they could get free legal counsel from Mexico?! How can these things happen?!"
