Biden administration bans controversial phrase ‘illegal alien’

[JaegerBrah]

President Biden’s administration has ordered U.S. immigration agencies to stop using the controversial and dehumanizing phrase “illegal alien” in reference to migrants.

The term was common during former President Trump’s administration, turning up frequently in statements and news releases from both Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Customs and Border Protection.

The Washington Post reported that the shift — which also junks the phrase “assimilation” in favor of “integration” — was outlined in memos sent Monday to ICE and CBP.

The White House confirmed the change to the Daily News, but declined to provide further comment.

“As the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, we set a tone and example for our country and partners across the world,” Troy Miller, the acting CBP commissioner, said in a memo, according to The Post. “We enforce our nation’s laws while also maintaining the dignity of every individual with whom we interact. The words we use matter and will serve to further confer that dignity to those in our custody.”

Neither CBP nor ICE immediately responded to requests for comment from The News on Monday morning.

The change comes as Biden reckons with an immigration crisis on America’s southern border, where a surge in migrants fleeing violence in Central America has led to overflowing shelters packed with minors.

Last week, the President drew progressive ire when the White House announced it didn’t intend to lift the number of refugees granted entry to the U.S. this year from 15,000, a cap established by Trump.

But Biden quickly reversed course, saying his administration would raise the cap.

Article shows that they are encouraging CBP/ICE to use different terms? Fkn autism because it makes zero actual difference except for "feels," but I dont see where this would legislatively affect our 1A.

Doesn’t impact 1A. It does however mean I’m going to keep saying illegal alien.

Soon, bank robberies will be "undocumented withdraws".

You won’t though will you?

[BeginnerGainz]

Soon, bank robberies will be "undocumented withdraws".

Mostly peaceful, of course.

[navid93]

What are people here always mad about? Why is this a bad thing though? What negative impact does this have on anything?

It doesn't, but some people believe in the slippery slope. In a few years you'll be arguing about how it's "already used" to justify acceptance into culture. The fact you cant even understand this argument should be cause for concern.

Creating a new reality to suit the feelings of criminals and pearl-clutching leftists?

Yeah, why would anyone not trip over themselves to endorse that?

[Procta]

words no longer have meaning or value in 2021

[LukeLissen]

Foreign invader is probably a more accurate term.

What new reality is being created?

The status of those people is the exact same, they just won’t be called illegal aliens by immigration agencies.

You're either dumb or intentionally glossing over the fact that this is just another step in normalizing illegal immigration. "Illegal" has a bad connotation because they aren't supposed to be here. Now that they aren't here illegally it's just another quick leftard feel good moment before another idiot gets the bright idea we shouldn't be stopping anybody at the border because nobody is illegal.

I just posted the exact reasoning why someone would condemn or argue this Biden administration' policy.

^ Classic example when someone blatantly doesnt read or ignores posts because to actually address them would mean you'd have to have a discussion that meets in the middle. Like a child, this poster just cant fathom a discussion like that- they must be right and the only way to live is if you agree and think like them. There are no other options for these people.

[mvitz]

No matter what you call them they dont shouldnt be here.

MILLIONS of dollars will be spent to change the language in our entire legal code. For feelings.

[nin-com-poop]

Fine...call them foreign piece of shyt.

[JayJ350]

So basically this is his way to combat the illegal alien situation? To try to make the term illegal?

Phucking around with words and acting like a fascist with language isn't going to make the border problem go away.

Yup that is why the entire notion of having a discussion with the left is just a joke, it's like people thinking they could have had discussions with the Nazis and worked things out with them just by talking. When you are working with totalitarians and dictators who think they are right and everyone else is wrong, there is no room for discussion. The left doesn't talk with people, they preach to them and berate them when people don't agree. They think name calling and word phuckery is a substitute for a good argument.

I'm so glad we finally have a government focusing on the important issues of our times. Surely this will improve the lives of Americans.

[JimFromRaleigh1]

We should call them by their rightful name

Americans

They are welcome in my place anytime

[Underwrought]

I can't stress this enough. This isn't an overexaggeration to say we are literally being sold out from the inside and allowed to be invaded.

My only thing I take solace in is having the last laugh when blacks realize they were strung along, and played for fools till the Mexican/south american population exceeds them and are cast aside by the democrats. Then they won't need them and pretend to care for them anymore.

[Ephedra]

Ask the Western Roman Empire how mass migration worked for them in the first century.

We're watching the PLANNED collapse of the United States of America for the short-term purpose of complete Democrat party rule.

All of this... all of this, is so Democrats can turn the United States as blue as California. It's evil and insidious.

Oh, okay.

Let's start re-labeling murderers, robbers, rapists, terrorists, and other criminals to suit the whims of the politically-correct crowd.

(If you're going to start saying the "status" of these people are the same regardless of title, would you feel the same way about same-sex couples being labeled "butt-buddies" instead of husband and husband?)

Great job Biden you really have a plan for everyone
