Remove ILLEGAL ALIENS from ALL Federal Laws & Substitute Term for Undocumented Immigrants or Non-Naturalized Citizens

Created by A.B. on May 28, 2016

The term "ILLEGAL ALIENS" should be removed from all Federal Laws because I find the term to be offensive and insensitive. Undocumented immigrants should not be characterized as "immoral" or "extraterrestrial creatures" from a different origin. They should be recognized as HUMAN BEINGS; a group of non-naturalized or undocumented immigrants who are going through a vigorous process of becoming law-abiding citizens who want to be part of the AMERICAN DREAM. Removing "ILLEGAL ALIENS" and substituting the term for undocumented immigrants or non-naturalized citizens to ALL Federal Laws must be enacted immediately. We are known as a NATION OF IMMIGRANTS not a NATION OF ALIENS. If this matter was enacted today, the international community will see the United States in a more positive light.
