As Twitchy reported, after being forced to name murdered nursing student "Lincoln" Riley during his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden went on MSNBC and apologized for referring to Riley's accused murder as an "alien." He said he should have said "undocumented." He didn't stop there, saying that the undocumented "built this country" and he wasn't going to treat any of them with disrespect — not even an alleged murderer.
Libs of TikTok has the story of a 16-year-old student who was suspended for three days for using the term "illegal alien" in an English assignment.
This is Christian. He’s a 16-year-old student in @CDHSSPARTANS.

He was suspended for 3 days after using the term “illegal alien” in an English assignment because it’s “offensive” and “disrespectful.” Now his record could be damaged.
Please support this based student by helping… pic.twitter.com/kz9GGtKmI4
"… by helping to raise awareness to his story!"
The Associated Press Stylebook already warns reporters against using the word "alien," even though it appears in just about all the legislation on the undocumented.
Rep. Maxwell Frost posted that his blood was boiling because a colleague kept using the word.
Sitting in a bigoted hearing where one of my colleagues is consistently referring to immigrants as “aliens”. Disgusting. My blood is boiling.

You should probably see a therapist about these irrational, uncontrollable emotions over mundane things.

Alien. Any person not a citizen or national of the United States as the term “alien” is defined in section 101(a)(3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(3)). This term may include a stateless person and is synonymous with “noncitizen” and “foreign national.”

Imagine getting mad about someone using the correct legal term.

Maxwell, can you show us on the doll where the word touched you?

Except he's quite literally right, by definition.

Hopefully your colleagues can get it right... They are CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS, not just aliens.

An illegal alien murdered Laken Riley, but you’re more upset about a legal definition of his immigration status than by the fact that he had no business being here at all. You’re a piece of shit.

Well, US law also refers to people from other nations who immigrate to the US as "aliens," so he's correct.

You're ultimately upset because your vocabulary isn't very good, and the words you do know are largely subverted.

Was your colleague talking about a legal alien, or an illegal alien?
— Viva Frei (@thevivafrei) April 16, 2024
We've noticed that the mainstream media seems to have settled on "migrants."
They are illegal aliens.

It's a legal term, idiot. The bigger issue is that your blood isn't boiling over 10 million illegal aliens being allowed into the country by Joe Biden.
— AdamInHTownTX (Not a Neurologist) (@AdamInHTownTX) April 16, 2024
Yeah, his biggest problem with the border crisis is calling illegals "aliens."
And any hearing Frost attends is going to be bigoted, so he didn't need to add that.
