Biden Official Orders Immigration Judges to Stop Descr Illegal Aliens as Illegal Aliens

A top Biden-appointed immigration official issued a memo last week directing immigration judges to stop using the term “illegal aliens” to describe illegal aliens.
In a July 23 memo titled “Terminology,” Acting Director of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) Jean King directed immigration judges to instead use terms like “undocumented noncitizen” and “undocumented individual.”
King also directed judges to stop using the term “unaccompanied alien child” to describe unaccompanied alien children, directing them to use terms like “unaccompanied non-citizen child” and “unaccompanied non-U.S. citizen child.”
The memo references a pair of President Joe Biden’s executive orders and notes that neither uses the term “alien” or “illegal alien” to describe illegal aliens. It also points to two recent Supreme Court opinions in which the justices opted to substitute the term “noncitizen” for the statutory term “alien.”
The memo’s footnotes also reference the 2013 style guidance change by the Associated Press, which forbids the use of terms like “illegal alien,” “an illegal,” “illegals,” and “undocumented.” It also points to a 2016 decision by the Library of Congress to stop using the term “illegal alien.”
“The phrase ‘illegal aliens’ has taken on a pejorative tone in recent years, and in response, some institutions have determined that they will cease to use it,” the Library of Congress decision stated. “After deliberation, the meeting participants determined that the heading Aliens will be revised to Noncitizens.”
King’s memo notes that the only exception for the new language mandate is when “when quoting a statute, regulation, legal opinion, court order, or settlement agreement.”
Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge and now a resident fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, wrote that King’s directive set an “extremely sinister precedent.”
“None of these changes has any basis in law (or logic for what that matters),” Arthur wrote. “‘Noncitizen’ is not a word, at least not in a legal sense, because it includes ‘aliens’ who can be removed from the United States and non-citizen ‘nationals’ who cannot.”
Staff at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have already been barred from using the term “illegal alien,” according to The Washington Post and Axios respectively.
The U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act codified the term “alien” in 1952, defining it as “any person not a citizen or national of the United States.”

SCOTUS calls them illegal aliens, so why stop?

And the left's war with the English language continues, right on schedule, per Huxley and Orwell.

I thought liberals were the defenders of free speech. No? They stopped all that? Huh!

I am gonna ask a dumb question, that I should know the answer to... but it would seem that immigration judges do fall under the Executive Branch?
Regardless, frick you Biden! You are truly an America-hating piece of shite.

We should all rebel against any of these so-called PC language re-inventions because the problem isn't the actual word, it's the underlying feeling in the way it's wielded.
If something is retarded then say it. If you call a person retarded then more than likely that's an insult. Go for it. All these new BS terms are just that, BS.

That’s some good wordsmithing.

I like the term "illegal leach".
Posted on 7/28/21 at 3:55 pm to Crimson Wraith
I agree. Illegal alien isn't the correct term. Let's refer to them as criminals from South of the border from now on.

He’s diminishing what it means to be an American Citizen. First you change the terminology cause the current title, illegal alien, could be seen as mean or offensive. Then you grant them rights based on what the new terminology might imply.

This never stops being both funny and perfect to describe what we're seeing.

Illegal alien is both succinct and correct.
If you come across the border illegally, you're here ILLEGALLY. And if you're form somewhere else, you're an ALIEN.
Illegal Alien.

Really needs to be a running list of words normal people refuse to use as they are being used currently.
"Folks" instead of "People."
Problematic.
Feel free to add your own.

I used to follow the Tucson border patrol account on IG because they would post some cool shite about their toys and takedowns. Sometime a few months ago they began to refer to illegals as migrants in all their posts. Had to unfollow that bullshite.

That makes no sense. They are ALL documented.
