"Undocumented immigrants" is a misleading euphemism and they should be called illegal immigrants. CMV.

What do these people have in common:

1. A British tourist who overstays his visa and lives on the streets in Pattaya, Thailand.

2. An American who teaches English on a tourist visa in Beijing.

3. A Ukrainian sex worker who smuggles herself on a boat to Italy.

4. A Mexican farm worker who smuggles himself on a boat to Florida.

What do all of these people have in common? They're illegal immigrants. Whether talking about children or adults, immigrants who lack the legal documents to live legally in a country (and this applies not just to the U.S., but to any country on Earth) are breaking the law by living in that country. They are illegal immigrants--this is an accurate and neutral way to describe these people. The fact that the phrase "undocumented workers" is only used in the last case above and not the other cases proves that this is a politically motivated manipulation of language--i.e., propaganda.

"Undocumented workers" should not be used because it's not objective and is a subtle rhetorical trick to sway people without logic or argument. CMV.

I feel that "Illegal Immigrant" is using loaded language, and undocumented workers/immigrants/etc is more accurate.

Consider similar crimes where the issue is in documentation:
Unlicensed contractor vs Illegal contractor.
Unlicensed driver vs Illegal driver.
Unlicensed physician vs Illegal physician.

Indeed, it is arguable both unlicensed drivers and physicians are a greater individual danger than undocumented immigrants. On the other hand, such individual might not be a danger at all. Is someone with an expired driver's license really an inherent threat or problem, or is it merely a proxy for a problem? Perhaps we should start calling them illegal drivers and illegal physicians. Or perhaps we should keep the language accurate to what is wrong with the situation, rather than how the law happens to view it.
