Biden admin PC Bullshit: Nixes 'Illegal Alien'

link

I don't have any commitment to the phrase, obviously, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Well, I guess I do kinda like the term 'alien'... It's kinda cool.

   The Biden admin is obviously full of PC idiots But, hey--no more mean tweets, so...worth it!

   If 'alien' were an insulting term, then there would be a problem with 'resident alien.' But there isn't. If 'illegal x' were an insulting phrase, then we wouldn't have 'illegal contractor' and 'illegal truckdriver.' But there's nothing wrong with 'illegal' and there's nothing wrong with 'alien', so it's extremely unlikely that there's something wrong with 'illegal alien.' It's not illegal aliens complaining about 'illegal alien,' anyway. It's PC/progressive activists. And their reason for doing so is that they want a less-honest term. The point, as usual, is to get us moving on an ever-more euphemistic chain of jargon. They used to prefer 'illegal immigrant,' of course. But then they thought up "undocumented immigrant"...as if they'd lost their library cards or something. Then they tried 'unauthorized'...and I don't know what it is now. Then they realized that 'migrant' was better than 'immigrant' because, hey, then you don't even specify whether they're coming in or going out... Eventually it will be Freedom Nomad or some such thing. Our old friend TVD had the best term, though: 'undocumented Democrat.'
