Chicago Tribune complains over use of term "illegal immigrant" (illegal aliens, independent)

Loaded 'illegal alien' phrase introduced in sanctuary cities crackdown - Daily Southtown



Is this a bad term to use?

They probably equally hate the phrase: "Chicago is one of the most dangerous cities in the US."

Should we just call them what they really are "unenrolled Democrat voters" ??

8 USC 1182 U.S. Code, Illegal Alien is a proper term to use. They are criminals , they broke Federal Law. An immigrant is a person that enters the country legally, and is not a criminal or illegal alien.

If his beef is that language matters and not all undocumented people are illegals, then call one group undocumented and another group illegal aliens - because language does matter.

They are illegal aliens. They are in the country ILLEGALLY, and they are aliens (as defined by Marriam-Webster: relating, belonging, or owing allegiance to another country or government, foreign alien residents). If they don't like it, they can leave!

Illegal aliens is the better term. Maybe they should switch to it.

The term "*******" is not politically correct>

If illegal entry is not criminal, it should be. It is breaking the law.

Actually, it's the immigration law term for them. Those that refuse to use it and instead use some kind of stupid PC term have a personal vested agenda in illegal aliens.
