Yesterday, Ron DeSantis had to school a reporter about the proper terminology for people in the United States illegally. Today, a 'Newsweek' reporter tried another tactic. Today's verbiage is: unauthorized citizen'. Why can't they just call them illegal aliens. It's literally what the law calls them.
Well, this is a new one.

Newsweek's new term for illegal alien is "unauthorized citizen."
How can that be?
Guess they missed Governor DeSantis shut down similarly absurd terminology yesterday. pic.twitter.com/HHEbMSsXDf
'Newsweek' sent the email to Governor DeSantis' staff and still couldn't get it right ... even after he gave a lesson yesterday. Apparently, they need remediation. Maybe if they miss recess for tutoring, they will figure out what term to use.
Hey @Newsweek: There's no such thing as an "unauthorized citizen." What a farce. https://t.co/9od0SqrY9s

They make it sound like an illegal alien just wandered into the wrong area of a store.

They need to make a tutorial because it is too hard to keep up with all the new terms.
Unauthorized citizens...no, they're illegal aliens as termed under our law. This is ridiculous. https://t.co/TKg8Wk3cAo

It's impossible to stay abreast of the new Leftist speak.
They're not "citizens" in any way, shape, or form.

Newsweek is circling the toilet -- again. https://t.co/mF8n6mq383
Some things never change. You can't polish a turd.
"Unauthorized citizens" 🙄

I think you meant unauthorized non-citizens, right @Newsweek? https://t.co/NgLXhBu7XP
They don't know what they mean.
Here we go again. Newsweek should change their name to Newspeak. This Orwellian BS should be mocked mercilessly.

Again, Orwell wasn't intending to write an instruction manual.
"Unauthorized citizen." 🤡The intentional manipulation of language & word-referent meanings by the radical progressive left is degrading culture & civic functioning. https://t.co/o7Tcgifo5x

Another hits the dust: @Newsweek or should we call them NEWSPEAK

Illegals are ILLEGALS. Anyone who comes into this country ILLEGALLY is NOT a Citizen https://t.co/6n6hXhaIga
They are the opposite of a citizen.
"unauthorized citizen."

The moral of the story is, 'Newsweek' picked the wrong Governor to try this with.
