One of my first national television appearances was on CNN, believe it or not. They likely had me on because I was new, and they assumed that they could eat me alive or mock me. They failed in this endeavor, as I was well prepared and didn’t cave to the bullying host’s pressure. However, after my airing, I was reprimanded by the producer who booked me for using the term “Illegal Alien.”

CNN is wrong. I am right. A person who enters the United States illegally is not an undocumented immigrant. They are an illegal alien.

The left has launched a woke marketing campaign to vindicate people who have broken the law by giving them a nicer name than trying to force us to use it. Don’t fall into the leftist language trap. Don’t engage. Don’t play their game. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (“FAIR”), illegal alien is the correct and legally recognized term.

In the legal case Plyler v. Doe, Supreme Court Justice Brennan said, “although illegal aliens’ presence in the country is no crime, their entry into the country is. Illegal alien . . . describes one present in a country in violation of the immigration laws (hence “illegal”).”

So there you have it.
