This speaks for itself:

Excerpt from the Inside Higher Education website:

The Modern Language Association’s Delegate Assembly (the “MLA”) passed a resolution calling for the replacement of the term “illegal aliens” with “undocumented workers” (and a guarantee of in-state tuition for those fitting under the label).

The MLA meeting is a must-attend event for thousands of English and foreign language professors each year.

The Delegate Assembly approved every motion and resolution that came before it Friday by a fairly large margin, with the closest vote being on a resolution that the MLA should urge the replacement of the term “illegal aliens” with “undocumented workers,” and that undocumented workers should be eligible for in-state tuition in the states where they reside. That resolution, which will go to the Executive Council for approval and, if approved in February, will then be submitted to the entire membership for ratification this fall, was approved 73 to 30, but, although the closest vote, stimulated no open discussion. (On New Year’s Day, however, Lake Superior State University released its annual list of misused words and phrases, criticizing the use of phrases like the “undocumented workers” for “illegal aliens” — and comparing it to calling a “drug dealer” an “undocumented pharmacist.”)

Comments:

Not All Illegal Aliens Work.

Political correctness has run amuck with the MLA. Undocumented worker is a separate class from illegal alien.

Will this definition change the mindset of the majority of the public who believe that those who are in this country illegally should be forced out as quickly as possible?

We have citizens who need jobs. Our goal must be to match the work with the people who are legally in this country.
