We should stop using the term "illegal alien" and call them "foreign nationals"

The term illegal alien has been politicized by the left and they act like it is a racist term and we need to do everything we can to help these aliens. But i say call them what they are, foreign nationals. They are foreign nationals that are in the country illegally. There's really no way to spin that to garner sympathy.

Foreign national doesn't entail being illegal.

So no.

Would you settle for illegal foreign nationals? It's sort of a mouthful, but I get your point.

I believe it is the term used in the US Code. Also frequently used in USSC opinions. The term “racist” has lost all meaning.

They've entered our country illegally. Call them what they are, Illegal Aliens.

Their not immigrants as the MSM paints them to be.

Then let the dems hang themselves on that petard.

"illegal aliens" are what they ARE - do not try to participate in a word-nuance scheme with the democrats. That is their ONLY strategy = keep defining the definitions of words and phrase to confuse the public and disguise their intent.

DO NOT PLAY THAT GAME - stick to the factual truth - hammer them down with it - make them try to describe WHY they do not like the true FACTS

That is one of the stupidest things I have heard lately. Maybe go shovel some snow for your buddy in NYC.

That's the appropriate term designated by SCOTUS in all illegal immigration rulings.

The term “illegal” is essential to truthfully characterize these invaders

Just like the term "fascist" it now simply means "something I don't like/disagree with."

If it were up to me, we’d be calling them "illegal f*cking animals."
