"Undocumented Americans" the New Term for Illegal Immigrants?

Photo Credit: TownHallOver the past few years immigration reform advocates have successfully gotten major news outlets to officially change their policy on using “illegal immigrant” to describe, well, illegal immigrants. In 2013 the Associated Press amended its styleguide, instructing reporters to no longer refer to people as “illegal.” Also off limits: illegal alien, an illegal, illegals, or undocumented. Rather, AP said to “specify wherever possible how someone entered the country illegally and from where.”

This change wasn’t limited to AP, of course, and other media outlets quickly followed suit. Now, however, NRO has noticed that immigration reform advocates are beginning to refer to illegal immigrants as “undocumented Americans.”
