Why does the media no longer use the term illegal aliens?

Question by sergbelxx: Why does the media no longer use the term illegal aliens?
and instead use “immigrants” or “migrants”

why don’t they want us to know that millions of these people are here in USA illegally in violation of the law and are therefore criminals ??”

is this honest journalism?
isnt just calling them migrants or immigrants basically saying we the USA are not a country and do not have borders or laws? that its a free for all world where anyone can go anywhere he pleases and do not have to obey laws that say people in one country belong to that country and must follow certain procedures if they wish to visit or go to another country?

The overwhelming majority of the media is very liberal. They think if they don’t use the words you will forget that they are illegally here. Politically correct is bull crap, they know that, but hope you will forget.
