Left Manipulates Immigration Terminology

I brought this up before, but I think it bears repeating.

Over the years, we have painfully learned that the propagandists on the Left are merciless and shameless. 

In their relentless attempt to add a patina of legitimacy to illegal entrants, their future voters, all manner of linguistic and verbal inventions are employed to mislead the American public and to validate the manufactured right of illegals in the US. As an immigration counselor for 22 years, this has always been an annoyance to me, and I wrote about it in my book, "A Patriot's Call to Action".

In short, in US law there is no such thing as an "undocumented citizen", "undocumented immigrant", "illegal immigrant". These inane terms are politically-motivated, self-contradictory fabrications.

An "immigrant" is, by definition, a legal entrant. S/He was properly inspected and officially permitted entry, either temporarily, conditionally or permanently, into the United States. Therefore, it is impossible to be an "illegal immigrant" or, even more laughably, an "undocumented citizen", as such terms are patently oxymoronic.

To simplify, if a person is not properly inspected and officially approved for entry into the United States, that person can only be an "undocumented alien", an "illegal alien", or an "illegal entrant". When folks misuse these terms, either deliberately or ignorantly, correct them!
