its almost illegal to say 'illegal alien'. even Republicans are referring to undocumented etc.
that's why Biden admin is all of a sudden promoting border security; the polls. I hope the Republicans will nail the border issue on the Dems this election; they should own it.
tightening up the border now is a joke. we've had three years of who-knows accumulating in country.
I still call them "illegals". I don't care what other folks say about it. I take a lot of crap for that, but I do it anyhow. They can kiss my ass - I call it like I see it.
My favorite are the dumbasses that try to say to me "human beings cannot be 'illegal' ". My ass they can't! Not my problem if English is not the attacker's first language, such that they don't know what "illegal" means.
If someone crashes someone else's border, in violation of their laws, then for as long as they are within those borders, they are illegally there, and therefore they are "illegal". it's a pretty simple damned concept.
"Undocumented" means something else entirely. The implication is that the "undocumented" is legal, just without papers. that's entirely different from illegal at the base of it. I was "undocumented" for several years, right here in the US, the country of my birth. I was "undocumented", yes, but NOT "illegal". There is a huge difference, and as I said above, I call 'em like I see 'em.
I NEVER refer to illegals as merely undocumented. I'm too honest a person to speak that willful lie.
