"Undocumented immigrant" is the only term I know. "Illegal alien" is considered racist by many.

"... an immigrant from Mexico may be forced to wait anywhere between five and 25 years to become a naturalized U.S. citizen..." More info...

Why Is It So Hard to Become a US Citizen? - American Immigration Council

“Why don’t they just get in line?" It's a question often directed toward undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.

The detained undocumented migrants aren't being given what ANYONE who just happens to be IN THE US, citizen OR NOT, is ENTITLED to receive when ARRESTED: Habeus corpus! Everyone gets their day in court!

DHS just loads them on planes to Uganda now. Unless a judge gets wind of it & stops it w/a TRO!

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Censorship has fully arrived. In the latest, Apple banned an app that archived ICE abuses for legal evidence

Every single day, censorship gets stronger as media and corporations bend to serve the regime

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

I agree. You wear a mask for health reasons. I do too when I know I'll be in close proximity to a LOT of people, e.g., the airport.
