That—
Members of the House of Representatives no longer use the term Illegal Immigrant because no human being is illegal;
human beings need to be central in immigration discussions in order to move toward a more civilized and humane tone in public discourse and policies on immigration; and
foreign nationals, undocumented immigrant, unauthorized immigrant, immigrant without papers and immigrant seeking status are examples of terms we can use that do not dehumanize people. We can all stop unintentionally fueling racial profiling and violence directed toward immigrants, when we drop the word illegal when discussing a human being.
