Illegal Alien. "But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought." ― Orwell, "1984"

  Presumably illegal alien. Only a court of law can say what's legal or not. #Democracy

  It would be interesting to read a case study on how a small cultural change such as this is pushed. The fact that this wording change is being pushed is, in itself, a signal that a societal power seeks to change how we think of illegal immigration. As with many pushes, such as the push to accept the idea of globalization, a moral argument is used to convince the petite bourgeoisie of the worth of something that members of the ruling class want.
