"Undocumented Immigrant" Is a Made-Up Term That Ignores 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.”

The MEDIA and Democrats are now leaving out the "UNDOCUMENTED" part. They are now called "MIGRANTS", or just "IMMIGRANTS" which is a boldface LIE.

It is intended to make anyone that doesn't want Open Borders (Amnesty) and give aways to illegals) as Racist Bigots and Xenophobes.

Yes, "alien" is a much stronger word connoting "the menacing other" much better than "undocumented immigrant." You might almost think an undocumented immigrant is human or something.
That must be corrected.

We are talking about the law. Do you not understand anything about Immigration Law? Apparently not.

Immigration is a LEGAL PROCESS requiring DOCUMENTATION in order to become an IMMIGRANT. Undocumented can NOT describe an IMMIGRANT.

If you are "undocumented" you are an ILLEGAL, trespassing occupant. You have no status other than taking up space illegally as a FOREIGNER.

"alien" reminds me of MING FROM MARS I cannot imagine asking anyone -----ARE YOU AN ALIEN

Common vernacular is one thing. Legal terminology is another.
What's relevant for this issue isn't what image the word "alien" might bring to someone's mind.
"Alien" is the proper, legal word.
"Illegal" is also the proper word and "illegal alien" is the proper term.
The use of the proper term says nothing about on'es stance on the overall issue.
"Undocumented immigrant" and "migrant" are agenda-driven, deliberate falsehoods.
