The Wall Street Journal, owned by billionaire Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., is banning its reporters from using the term “illegal immigrant” and “illegal” to refer to illegal aliens living in the United States.
This week, in an update its style guide, the Journal states that while it will allow reporters to continue using the term “illegal immigration” to describe the process of illegal aliens arriving and staying in the U.S., it will no longer permit reporters to describe individuals as “illegal” or “illegal immigrant” in an effort to stop “labeling people.”
The Journal style guide revisions now state:

Good grief! WSJ has been one of the few major newspapers I thought could be trusted. Might have to reconsider my subscription

No surprise at all from a formerly respectable publication that threw in its lot with the open-borders globalists decades ago. Nations are not places where people of common cultures and backgrounds can thrive, but merely borderless markets full of consumers to rake over the coals and workers to exploit at the lowest possible cost.

The correct terms to describe foreign origin people living in the USA without a legal immigration status is “illegal alien” and those foreign origin people who are in the USA legally as lawful permanent residents are “legal immigrants”. Calling illegal aliens “immigrants” is wrong as it just confuses that issue with Americans who don’t know very much about the immigration laws.
Outside the USA illegal aliens are referred to, in UN speak, as being irregular migrants, and legal immigrants are referred to as regular migrants. Irregular migrants moving across national borders to find work are referred to as being economic migrants. Mass illegal immigration is referred to as being irregular migration. The Biden Administration is now starting to use these foreign terms to further confuse that issue in the minds of Americans who don’t have a grasp of the illegal immigration phenomenon.
Bottom line the Biden Administration and the Democrats are now engaged in flooding the USA with illegal aliens by allowing rouses such as loopholes in the asylum laws to allow unqualified asylum seekers who are really just illegal aliens to enter the USA to take American jobs, along with illegal alien children called “unaccompanied” minors, really as anchor relatives to essentially allow entire families of illegal aliens into the USA to “reunite” with the child or children, that those foreign families either brought to the borderline themselves and then essentially pushed then across the borderline, where they knew the children would be stopped by the Border Patrol, or they paid Mexican cartel smugglers to drop those children off on the US side of the borderline. Right now the Biden Administration is saying that they do not intend to remove any non-serious criminal illegal aliens from the USA, and that every illegal alien child who comes into the USA will not be removed and will be allowed to stay in unlimited numbers being given an immigration status under a new DACA style amnesty, and be reunited with their foreign family members who then will also be allowed to enter and stay in the USA. So-called “unaccompanied” minor children never were a problem along the borderline until the Obama-Biden Administration instituted their first DACA amnesty to allow illegal alien who claimed they unlawfully entered the USA as minors to stay in the USA with US work permits. Essentially Biden has instituted the open borders policies that have been advocated by the Pope for years, to allow anyone in the world who wants to move to the USA “to make a better life for themselves” to enter the USA and stay in unlimited numbers. Besides being counted in the census to draw more future congressional seats into lower income and immigrant Democrat areas, the Democrats intend to legalize as many illegal aliens as possible through Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesties and ultimately transform those tens of millions of foreign origin and socialist oriented people into future Democrat socialist voters, to permanently change the voter demographics of the country, along with the politics of the country, in order to keep the Democrats in political power permanently.

Loved how the Wall Street Journal was so concerned about the massive fraud that took place on Election night. Thank the Lord there were other sources to discover the what had happened.

Sorry, no. They are immigrants and they have entered the country illegally. Therefore I will continue to call them illegal immigrants. You can call a horse a unicorn but it doesn’t make it so.

There is no such thing as an "illegal immigrant". By definition, an immigrant is someone who came to this country legally.
The proper term is "illegal alien", and I will continue to use it every time I speak of the hordes of illegal aliens that are invading this country!!!!!
