Lawbreakers.
The people politicians call “Dreamers†are illegal aliens. Media outlets conceal this fact when reporting about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (“DACAâ€) program by leaning on misleading euphemisms like “undocumented†or “unauthorized."
Let’s stop mincing words.
An alien is by definition a person who enters a foreign country. Americans are aliens when they enter foreign countries, and foreigners are aliens when they enter the United States.
