This is a politically correct term designed specifically to reduce the percieved threat that the word 'illegal' genders in people.I keep hearing this being used to describe illegals from Mexico. I don't know if this is a PC term for illegal immigrants, a term to describe a specific situation for someone who had a VISA and it expired, or, one of the "dreamers" who was born in America because their parents were illegal, yadda yadda.
Can someone explain this term to me please? If it is just a politically correct term for "illegal immigrant", it needs to be wiped from the lexicon, it's an insult to the terminology.
I await any information that you guys could provide.
When people hear "illegal", they associate the term with criminal and therefore have less sympathy for the plight of the criminal.
Undocumented genders feelings of bureaucratic mistakes that happen (after all, we've all suffered from a government mistake, haven't we?) to a perfectly innocent person and we should be more forgiving by allowing them to stay and vote for democrats.
Being mean to a person who just happens to suffer from a government snafu is heartless. A ploy for an emotional response of sympathy.
Politically correct? Get out of here with that garbage!
