“Illegal” v. “Undocumented”
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson claims it is “racist” and “nasty” to use the term “illegal aliens” to describe “undocumented individuals.”
IN FACT, Garner’s Dictionary of Legal Usage explains that “illegal alien” is not an “epithet” but correctly describes people “present in a country in violation of the “immigration laws.” The dictionary also states that terms like “undocumented” are “needless euphemisms.”
