Well since I don't chum around with members of La Raza, LULAC, or other organizations that try to convince the general public that immigration laws were made to broken I.Dont.Give.A.Fuck. Shall we stop referring to people who commit felonies felons, rapers rapists, DUI convictee's drunk drivers? The funny thing is undocumented immigrant is actually the most PC term to describe illegal aliens.
Own what you do.
As far as I'm concerned, as long as the
LEGAL term to describe a non U.S. citizen or national is
ALIEN then it's perfectly acceptable to refer to them as aliens. If you (or anybody) have a problem with that then I suggest you contact your Congressman and ask him to change the terminology used in the INA.
