It seems that a Florida legislator doesn’t think the term “illegal alien” is sufficiently nice, and wants to ban the term.

A state legislator whose district is home to thousands of Caribbean immigrants wants to ban the term "illegal alien" from the state's official documents.

"I personally find the word 'alien' offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children," said Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami. "An alien to me is someone from out of space."

She has introduced a bill providing that: "A state agency or official may not use the term 'illegal alien' in an official document of the state." There would be no penalty for using the words.

In Miami-Dade County, Wilson said, "we don't say 'alien,' we say 'immigrant.'"

She said she encountered the situation when trying to pass a bill allowing children of foreigners to get in-state tuition at colleges and universities. Wilson, who directs a dropout prevention and education program in Miami, said she politely asks witnesses at public hearings on such issues not to use the term.

"There are students in our schools whose parents are trying to become citizens and we shouldn't label them," she said. "They are immigrants, through no fault of their own, not aliens."

Actually, you idiot, they are aliens, as the word means “one who is not a citizen of a place.” By your own explanation of who you seek to protect, you make it clear that they are, in fact, aliens, and that you are simply trying to debase the English language in the name of political correctness.

But if you would like, I would support legislation changing the proper term ti “border-jumping immigration criminal” – just for clarity’s sake.
