Trump could rescind Biden regime ban on term ‘illegal alien’

President-elect Donald Trump has a lot of work to do when he gets back to Washington D.C., but it looks like one of his first actions could be border-related.

Specifically, the Trump team is looking at eliminating the politically correct language surrounding the immigration discussion. According to the Washington Examiner, the transition team on homeland security issues is already discussing lifting the ban on the term “illegal alien.”

“In this [present] administration, we used ‘undocumented immigrants,’ right?” said a former high-ranking immigration official who now is involved in advising the transition team on policy. “Expect all of that to change.”

A second official involved in advising transition officials confirmed that talks on returning to “illegal alien” were true.

“I don’t see anyone at [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] or [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] using any euphemisms for illegal aliens after Jan. 20,” the second official said.

Retired ICE Field Office Director John Fabbricatore supported the idea, saying there is nothing wrong, racist, or inherently offensive about the term in the first place.

“What is wrong with illegal alien? It connotes no race, religion, or culture,” he said in a message. “It is a purely legal term that was hijacked in an Orwellian attempt to control the messaging about illegal immigration.”

Congressman Byron Donalds noted in an X post on March 13 that the “progression” of politically correct language has all but normalized people crossing America’s southern border illegally.

Progression of a liberal euphemism:

1) Illegal Alien
2) Illegal Immigrant
3) Undocumented Immigrant
4) Immigrant
5) Migrant
6) Newcomer

NOTE: If a noncitizen enters the US unlawfully & without authorization, they’re by definition, an “ILLEGAL ALIEN.”

X users also support the move back to more legally correct language:

Makes sense to me, as that is the legal definition of their status.

Illegal migrant would also be fine- or illegal immigrant.

What progressives think is changing the language used of an illegal alien into any number of different names I’ve read does not change their status. Still illegal entry no matter what you call them.
