DHS Defends Use of Term 'Alien' Over Undocumented Immigrant: "Next Thing You Know You'll Be Calling

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".

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
