Undocumented workers’ are still ‘illegal immigrants’ to most Americans (2013, laws)

[All American NYC]

A poll by MWR Strategies, a Republican polling firm, found 62 percent said those in the country without proper authorization are properly called “illegal immigrants.” Just 25 percent of respondents said they were “undocumented workers.”....“They’ve been trying to sell this ‘undocumented workers’ for like 15 years now, and nobody’s buying it,”....Mr. McKenna polled a similar question in 2004 and 2006, and the results were largely the same. In 2004, the split was 73 percent who favored “illegal aliens,” while 25 percent saw them as “undocumented workers.”

How about illegal invader.

If they were all "working" then worker would be fine. But, they are not so illegal alien is the proper term.

They are illegal aliens in that they crossed our borders without ionspection. Obtained employment without authorization. Took up residency without autrhorization.

So they did all these things illegally. Hence illegal aliens. Term fits.

Squatters.

Illegal alien is a lot better term and more politically correct than what they are called around here on a daily basis...they'll be here till the laws are enforced and the employers are jailed and given stiff prison sentences...laws are already there,use them.

No, the correct term is parasitic invaders. Wish our politicians would do their job and represent what is in the best interests of the AMERICAN citizens.

Not really. Only 10 million Hispanics voted in the last election. Most of them will always vote Democrat no matter which side of the aisle caves into their demands to give their ethnic group a pass on our immigration laws. I hope the GOP keeps that in mind.
