This moderately balanced AJC article looks at both sides of the oldspeak/newspeak language wars: is it "illegal aliens" or "undocumented immigrants?"

Unfortunately, the author doesn't look at the law. The United States Code - the law of the land - uses the term "illegal aliens." For instance, see "Authorizing State and local law enforcement officials to arrest and detain certain illegal aliens"

It's interesting to analyze news reports' use of these terms. As I previously discussed, a San Jose Mercury News story got almost everything wrong.

And, here's a correction of an Arizona Republic story.

I think if you keep hammering this point about language home, and keep showing the statements of the "leaders" quoted in the article for what they are, eventually it will sink in.
