The National Council of La Raza, which advocates for civil rights for Hispanics, encourages use of the term “undocumented immigrant” or “undocumented worker” to describe people in the USA without legal status, says vice president Lisa Navarrete. “We especially object to the use of the term ‘illegals’ as a noun,” she says. “This is strictly pejorative, not to mention grammatically incorrect.”

Well, when trying to create cheap sympathy for a controversial cause it's always best that one resorts to using Newspeak.

NCLR needs to take it up with the US government since their official definition of an 'undocumented immigrant' is indeed illegal alien.

Why in the H should any American care what La Raza thinks....

Google
President Dwight D. Eisenhower and "Operation Wet Back"

Of course this is when presidents had a pair.

Under immigration law, an "alien" is anyone who is not a U.S. citizen. Therefore, Jenks says, people who enter the USA without inspection and "non-immigrants who overstay or otherwise violate the terms of their visas are 'illegal aliens'."

Whew-eee! I think my eyes just melted. That is what DH calls "double coyote ugly" where the man gnaws off his other arm because he knows she'll be looking for a one armed man.

If La Raza objects to the term illegal alien, perhaps they should encourage all of the illegal aliens to return home, and enter this country through proper channels. They are here illegally; thus, they are aptly referred to as illegal.

Furthermore, who gives a flying fig what those illegal alien peddlers think.

Or, "double brown bags" -- one for her, and one for him (in case her bag falls off).
