In Topics: Immigration Stupidity Political Correctness Educational Stupidity
This kind of thing really pisses me off. As with many areas within the realm of Wokeness, terminology is changed to both fool people and not offend... sometimes those we should have no problem offending.
Peak Stupidity will call it Euphemism Creep". People get wise to the old ones, and new euphemisms are forced on us, so we won't be wise to exactly what they refer to ... for a while... then a new one must be coined.
Taking a point from Lionel Shriver's new novel (you've SURELY heard enough about it here!), I get the initial motivation to not cause offense. "Retarded", for instance, is simply a word for "held back". Once the poor kids (and parents thereof) heard this word used too much, another more gentle term was found.
Well, when it comes to the illegal aliens who've been invading this country for half a century, I don't mind offending them with this term. They are offending me by being here!
There's been Euphemism Creep here, from "illegal alien" to just "illegal" to "undocumented immigrant" to "migrant" to "newcomer".
"No human is illegal", the yard signs cry out, regarding the 2nd term. Well no, if he hadn't broken into our country he wouldn't be - his BEING HERE is illegal, get it? (But "alien" with it confuses you all with creatures from outer space, I guess.) "Undocumented" is correct until fake SS #'s are obtained, but they are not supposed to be immigrants. That's the problem with that term. "Migrant" is one of those vague ones used to confuse people. Weren't those old black people come up to Detroit for factory work migrants, and how about those old Okies come to California? Finally, "newcomers" is supposed to make us think of the Taylor family's new neighbors in Mayberry, I guess... Sure, yeah... no, it doesn't work for me.
The fact is, "illegal alien" is a perfectly good term from US law, immigration law, that is, US Code Title 8 1101 and 1365. The blurryblurb above is from this FAIR (Federation for American Immigration Reform) web page.
There's more to comment here on that original story shown above:
A 16-year-old student at Central Davidson High School in Lexington, North Carolina was suspended for three days last week after using the term ‘illegal alien’ during a vocabulary assignment in his English class.That was a perfectly good question. However, you can't offend anyone... except the straight White guys, so...
Leah McGhee’s son has a teacher who assigned vocabulary words during class last Tuesday, including the word ‘alien.’ McGhee says her son made an effort to understand the assignment and responded to his teacher, asking, “Like space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards?”
According to an email describing the incident, sent to local officials and shared with Carolina Journal, a young man in class took offense to his question and reportedly threatened to fight him, prompting the teacher to call in the assistant principal. Ultimately, his words were deemed by administrative staff to be offensive and disrespectful to classmates who are Hispanic.I bolded that last part because the administrative staff kind of showed its ass here. What would make this term "illegal alien" offensive specifically to Hispanic people? Are you trying to say that a whole lot of them are invaders to this country or something? I can see someone taking offense at THAT.
I remember Genesis drummer/singer Phil Collins using the term back in the day, so there! See "(let me tell ya') It's More Fun, Bein' An Illegal Alien."
Leah McGhee got it right. As much as we hate the invasion, "Illegal Alien" is NOT a slur to begin with. If you want slurs, I GOT slurs.* Peak Stupidity will not budge. Illegal Alien is the term, and we're stickin' to it!
* In fact, many years ago at this time of year, I'd been using the computer to teach a beautiful girl from Venezuela, before the Commies took it, a series of bad words. (Well, she asked.) The idea was not that she read them out loud, but she did, and hilarity ensued!

PS: Ahaaa, Woodie Guthrie. Nice song. The lyrics make me thing about the difference in the country during a 40-year immigration moratorium, in progress, what, 10 -15 years ago at the writing of this song. Off to pick peaches in California. That kind of work is not much fun for anybody, but at least it was Americans doing it back then.
I do wonder what Woodie Guthrie's sticker on his guitar would say were he around today.

PS: About that Statute of Limitations: That means you can't be charged and fined/jailed, but you can be sent back anytime. Does anyone think this will ever really happen, even with Trump in office? You never know for sure - it'd take a miracle, but Peter Brimelow says miracles happen in politics.
(Funny, spell chick corrected my type in "Brimelow" to what it is, but then it still doesn't like it. It suggests I replace it with the possessive, "Brimelow's" Nope, but that one is now underlined red and suggests I take the "'s" OUT. What the hell do you want, spell chick?)
I did not copy your link in reference to Okies yet, Adam, but I can take a wild guess and figure it's a Merle Haggard song. I'll see in a minute.

A former Border Patrol agent that I know used the term illegal alien on his job, and that wasn't too awfully long ago. Maybe you'd get fired for that now. Don't let Mayorkas hear about your use of that "slur".

An illegal alien referred to in subsection (a) is any alien who is any alien convicted of a felony who is in the United States unlawfully and—

(2) whose most recent admission to the United States was as a nonimmigrant and—

PS: BIPOC sounds very artificial. Are they a type of android, one wonders? I guess that's because it's very close to "biped".
Until you wrote it out here, Mr. Hail, I really wasn't sure what it stood for exactly, though I knew it was supposed to be the follow-up to the terms we have now and more encompassing. It sounds more civil, but less honest, than "anti-White".
No, they surely don't care about my views or those of other Peak Stupidity commenters. However, as with "illegal alien", "invaders" etc, wrt to that problem, the more we refuse the euphemism creep in public, the more others will go along with us. It's as with the masking 4 years ago. Well, it was only 3, in summer of '21, that is, when we visited the Four Corners monument. I talk off my mask - this was outside in the beautiful sunshine on a gorgeous day - and then I noticed others follow right away. "What are they gonna do, scalp ALL of us?!"

Of course, as a Person Without Color (PWC), your views on the term BIPOC will be ignored as morally illegitimate, but here at Peak Stupidity there is a safe-haven for those of us in such condition.

I think the right has won the "illegal alien" usage war. There was an attempt to shame people out of using it about 10 years ago, but it failed. The phrase has become what might be called, "defiantly common," and it's unlikely that will change...though that won't stop the left from trying again now and then. Okay Central Davidson High School, I won't use the term "illegal alien" anymore. From now on it's "illegal fu@king alien."
