Stop calling immigrants "aliens". Everyone who learned what an "alien" is through the movie Alien gets quite the wrong mental image. "Illegal alien" sounds especially bizarre. I don't think extraterrestrials can get a visa.

@thor I know you’re joking, although I’d seriously argue that we should stop referring to them as « illegals », as it’s a term used to associate their immigration status with other illegal stuff such as drug smuggling or people trafficking.

Lots of « illegals » are actually perfectly beneficial to their host community, could well integrate if they weren’t systematically dogpiled upon.

Clandestine is a meeker, still accurate word for example. It’s not as terrible as illegal.

@thor
Why not? I don't think Terran born is a requirement is it?
