An FB friend shared this link and I know I'm guilty of using illegal immigrants/illegal aliens from time to time but this article made me think. The author is right, the I term dehumanizing, it has racist overtones, and judges and attorneys don't use it. The immigration issue is a sensitive topic and everyone has their opinions and perspective but I don't believe it's a major shift to remove illegal from our vocabulary and start using undocumented immigrants.

Tapping into the inner workings of an Asian-Hispanic American man. Random thoughts and rants on what's going on in my life and in the world. I don't make any claims that I'm right or wrong. Just sharing my thoughts and hopefully getting some readers to chuckle or think or both.
