Well, the political correctness police are at it again. It appears we can no longer call someone who is not lawfully a citizen living in the US an "illegal immigrant". The debate is in Congress with our political leaders trying to determine the correct language. Even though it technically correct, and a proper definition.
If something is not done by the law, it's illegal. Oh, it's also been decided that they can't be called "aliens" for fear that it may cause them to feel "inhuman"! Even though, an alien is a foreigner.
So far, the correct term is "unauthorized migrants"!
Um... yeah... Who want's to be labeled a "migrant", and an "unauthorized" one? That would make them feel more comfortable with their status? Oh bother.
I guess if you run a red light, go over the speed limit, pirate music, or steal from a gas station... it's not illegal, just "unauthorized"!
As a side note: I'm not against immigration, as long as it's legal (or authorized). We have a process in place that works and can be done. Just like I'd be expected to be in another country legally, I'd expect the same for those living here.
