Democrats are the ones banning speech and don't want illegal aliens being called illegal aliens, calling everything they don't like "hate speech" Are you stupid, incapable of reading or both? Also how do you become an exGOPer? That's like taking the red pill then going back to the blue pill to live in ignorance, you just can't do it
I never liked that word Alien anyway....they are not people from another planet, just another country. Undocumented is the most relevant description
illegal, not undocumented undocumented implies that they are here legally, but just not documented, however that is not possible because if they are here legally they would be documented
If you are here undocumented then you are in violation of the law. That is where the term undocumented came from because it accurately describes the situation. If you don't need a specific visa, then you can come here legally for 90 days under an implied tourist visa. There are plenty of Mexicans, Hondurans, Nicaraguans etc. that FLY in to the U.S. under a proper visa, they did not enter illegally. They came in the country legally like a significant amount of people do (far far more than the numbers that cross the southern border). Their entry into the country was NOT illegal. Understanding this will lead to better immigration reform and enforcement instead of spending all dollars on a wall that addresses 20% of the problem. However the majority simply overstay their tourist visa and their presence is no longer under a legal document.... thus undocumented. Calling them illegal mistates the legal status because most of them entered legally. But by overstaying they have violated the terms of their visa and no longer are legally here under a valid document. Visa overstays have outnumbered people who enter the country illegally at the Southern border every year since 2007, according to a report by the Center for Migration Studies. The report's authors estimate that the number of total visa overstays was 600,000 more than the total number of border crossers and that in 2014, visa overstays accounted for two-thirds of all new undocumented immigrants.
