"Undocumented Immigrant" Is a Made-Up Term That Ignores the Law
"Undocumented Immigrant" Is a Made-Up Term That Ignores the Law
https://www.heritage.org/immigration...gnores-the-law
The news media is reporting that an internal email at the Justice Department has reminded its lawyers that the legally correct term they should be using in their briefs is “illegal alien,” not the euphemism “undocumented immigrant.”
The Justice Department leadership is correct. Illegal alien is the correct legal term that should be used.
“Undocumented immigrant” is a politically correct, made-up term adopted by pro-illegal alien advocacy groups and liberal media outlets to obscure the fact that such aliens have violated U.S. immigration law and are in the country illegally.
Precision in the law is a vital principle, since the exact words used in statutes, regulations, contracts, guidance documents, and policy statements can significantly affect how they are applied and interpreted.
If we are going to discuss and debate the issue of immigration and what our public policy should be, we should at least use accurate, precise terms, and talk about, for example, legal aliens vs. illegal aliens.
Government lawyers in particular have an obligation to use the correct language of the federal statutes they are sworn to uphold and enforce.
Federal immigration law uses the term “illegal alien.” For example, 8 U.S.C. §1365 is a provision that deals with a reimbursement program the federal government has for states that are incarcerating illegal aliens. Its very title refers to “illegal aliens,” and that term is used in the statute itself, which defines an illegal alien as anyone “who is in the United States unlawfully.”
“Alien”—rather than “immigrant”—is the correct legal term, since “alien” is defined in 8 U.S.C. §1101 (a)(3) as “any person not a citizen or national of the United States.”
The Supreme Court, which has decided numerous cases involving federal immigration law, also uses the correct, precise legal term of “illegal alien.”

Morning, I see another post referencing a 'dark money' institution. How about links to real journalism? Gaslighting has become an American substitute for thought and a clear understanding of life today in a complex world.

Well, no, Snowflake.
Our great president, President Trump, is returning to our values, as a strong economy that raises all boats, love of America and its people (patriotism), secure borders, low taxes and putting legal Americans' best interests above illegals.

Only a stupid trumfuck would start a thread in current events to open a semantic debate.
That's why we hold all of those morons, including this sock puppet op, who made our country a global joke in total contempt.

The problem is that, despite Trump raising all boats, too many want their boat to "leak" because they're so used to someone else taking care of them. For their boat to raise, they have to do their part and they're unwilling to do so. They're easy to spot. They're the ones that when something less than favorable happens to them, they automatically blame someone/something else.

After 8 years Obama proved he was qualified by being wildly popular. He would have won a third term.
Dude was Roosevelt popular. Suck it, complete fucking moron.
