DHS Defends Use of Term 'Alien' Over Undocumented Immigrant: "Next Thing You Know You'll Be Calling Burglars 'Undocumented Houseguests"
Story by Pedro Camacho • 17h

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reaffirmed this week that it will continue to use the term "alien" when referring to noncitizens, citing statutory language and rejecting and mocking alternatives such as "undocumented immigrant."

In a post on X, the agency wrote:

"'Undocumented immigrant' is the immigration equivalent of 'they/them.' DHS has no interest in the left's open borders pronouns. 'Alien' is the technical legal term, and that is what DHS will use. 'Illegal' is the only way to correctly describe lawbreakers. Next thing you know you will be calling burglars 'undocumented houseguests'"

DHS accompanied the caption with a collage of headlines from media outlets which are still using the term "undocumented immigrants".
