#1 bet she takes offense at the word "stupid" too.

#2 The US Department of State, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and all other Federal agencies assign the appropriate term of Illegal alien to a person with an unknown citizenship status who has entered the country by means other then the official legal process. The term Immigrant refers to a person with an official citizenship status. But just so nobody feels offended perhaps they can start to refer to those individuals as Unannounced Guests.

#3 How about "squatters", then?

And, no, Ms Wilson, they're not immigrants. Immigrants have documentation up the ying yang.

#5 Personally, I think the best term would either be Involuntary Organ Donor or spy - shot under the Geneva Convention.

#6 Note that she proposes legislation to cover documents only (at least for now), but openly admits to "politely asking" citizens to not use the words in public meetings. Somehow, mesees one of those 'slippery slope' thingys in effect.

#7 "Uninvited freeloaders"

#8 So, Fredrica, if your ignorance of the English language causes you to flinch at the term "illegal alien", how about a more accurate term -- "invader" (n. One who invades; an assailant; an encroacher; an intruder). There also some verbs to more acurately describe the situation she's defending:
1. To enter by force in order to conquer or pillage (e.g freeloading on the public treasury).
2. To encroach or intrude on; violate:
3. To overrun as if by invading; infest:
4. To enter and permeate, especially harmfully.

#9 How about we call ms. Frederica Wilson, "idiot" and nominate her for "Idiot of the Week". We will continue to call those people who reside in this country unlawfully "targets", and treat them accordingly.
